It all tasted delicious but special kudos go out to the creme brulee with ice cream and crumble. Rarely had a crumble as good as this one great attention to detail. The red sangria was very nicely balanced too. Highly recommend!

Only just opened but having visited many restaurants on this spectacular bit of coastline this is one of the best overall experiences we have had. Amazing location, staff (family run) and modern inventive food that also has a traditional Portuguese streak running through it. House wine was excellent. Will be going back soon. Well done guys, keep up the excellent work.

An absolute must if you are in the area. And worth a drive out if you aren’t! An exciting menu, professionally executed and beautifully presented. Traditional Portuguese in origin, the food has a modern flair. This is easily some of the best food we have eaten recently, including some extremely expensive restaurants back in the UK! A brother/sister team provide the food and equally excellent service. The setting is stunning. The house wine and artisan lager delicious. Please go and support this young team in their fabulous new venture. You will not be disappointed!

Then, the BBQ Black pork cheeks, It melted in our mouth. We finished with the duck that was perfectly cooked, with a side of peas purée. Honestly it couldn’t be better than this. The waitress gave us very good advice. And the place was so beautiful ! Thank you very much to the whole team. Looking forward to coming back!!
