The food was exceptional, and the staff were both prompt and welcoming. My only minor suggestion would be to update the flooring and overall décor. Despite that, I’m eager to come back again.

Some issues need attention — for instance, the baps often come out soggy, likely due to moisture from eggs or sauce. The porridge sometimes lacks the usual fruit compote, honey, and muesli, and can be undercooked. The açaí smoothie bowl occasionally misses the muesli, tastes off from authentic açaí, and is too runny with fruit settling at the bottom. Salmon and chicken salad plates may be dry around the edges. Additionally, the bathroom lacks a baby changing table, and the baby chairs feel unstable and unclean. On the upside, the fish is perfectly cooked on its better days, the menu offers great variety with fresh salads, and the coffee stands out. The hake dish is outstanding with well-balanced flavors. The open sandwich on brown bread is satisfying, and the goat cheese tart with beetroot is rich and flavorful. The restaurant’s flagstone floor adds charm, and the outdoor area is well-kept with fresh herbs. Despite some drawbacks, The Thatch has the potential to offer a truly enjoyable dining experience.
