The wine selection looked amazing but we did not indulge in that as we went for lunch so had a couple of local beers. I 'm sorry to say that everything was overcooked. The tuna was awful and the piri piri chicken dry and mediocre. The mussels for starter was very tasty but again, unfortunately well overdone

Had the mushroom risotto, the Primavera risotto (listed as Chef 's choice on the menu, as a Vegetarian option), and the steak. All were wonderful, but out of the three I would recommend the mushroom risotto.

Felt welcomed and looked after by staff who directed us to some really tasty shrimp in local sauce. The scabbard fish with almond batter was fantastic. The portions are very generous, perhaps a little too much given we struggled to finish our plate. Flavours are pushed hard and the wine options go well with them, In fact you can buy a bottle to take away, a great set of Portuguese wines to choose from. It's friendly, tasty and welcoming, it's worth your time.
