I was going back for sure as I 'm on an eat everything the locals like journey. As I approached the specials board had a roasted pig dish and and a recommendation was cod in the house special tomato based sauce. The pig was excellent, with the skin crispy crunchy delicious, served with a green simple salad hand cut fried potato crisps €10. The cod was grilled, thick and meaty lightly covered by a delectable secret house tomato sauce; served with mixed shoe string vegetables broccoli. €15 The size of this meal was too much for 1 person more like a 2 person dish. Chef Joao came to our table to chat about rugby Downunder (Australia) NZ and of course I quizzes him on his special sauce. His wife Maria was our simply perfect host/waitress. Thanks for a great meal and the warm personal chatter to match! Vicki Sydney Australia

We have eaten both meat and fish here and both were excellent. A good range of wines as well. Prices are very reasonable and it is frequented by many locals which is a good sign. It is a little further away from the typical tourist traps in Central Aveiro where you will pay double the price for the privilege of being a tourist, but the extra walking is good for you ! Highly Recommended.
