We were greeted warmly by the owner who showed us to a second smaller dining room, beautifully adorned with wine racks containing dozens of bottles of Portuguese wine. After a duo of starters consisting of Bolinhos de bacalhau (fried cod croquettes) and a type of sausage made from chicken and pork all truly excellent, my wife and I ordered the grilled bacalhau, which was served with potatoes, olives and boiled eggs, accompanied by the tomato salad (delicious fresh tomatoes with onion dressed in white wine vinegar and olive oil), while our young sons both had fish soup, which the owner puréed for them on account of their age. The bacalhau was uncomplicated and hearty, all the ingredients being fresh and unadulterated. The fish soups were really tasty too and perfect for young children. We had sparkling water and still water with lemon to share, attentively refilled on two occasions when we ran low. The owner, who apologised profusely through his son and another guest for speaking little English, took a keen personal interest that all was to our satisfaction…and it absolutely was. Over excellent coffee and desserts, some of which were served to us for free just so we had the opportunity to taste the variety on offer, the owner, his son and a fellow diner struck up a conversation about the local area and took the time to write down a number of local sites worth visiting. They were genuinely keen that we had a good time in their region a sense of local pride, I suppose, and based on this experience, well merited. All told, the meal cost just half of what we had paid a few nights before in Matosinhos and the warmth with which we were treated will stay in the memory for a long time. Highly recommend.

Nothing special, just good. We are living in Portugal for over 10 years now and when we ask for a maduro wine in a restaurant, average price is very reasonable, at average around 7-10€. for a good wine. We asked for a bottle of rosé, On the bill they charged us the price of 25€ for an average wine. As mentioned, we live here for over 10 year and go out for lunch 4 a 5 times a week and never ever paid 25€ in a local restaurant.
