Our primary server’s English was marginal (much better than our Portugese! but he went out of his way to make us feel at home. Seafood is its speciality. Stick with that and ask for what’s fresh. The portions are overly-generous. The codfish Pavao was amazing but more than enough for two. Similarly the grilled grouper was perfectly done, but more food than we needed. The mussels with onions starter at 5.50 euros cannot be beat. We could have lived off that alone. The wine selection is good. The vino verdhe is the best bet to match with the cuisine. Dinner for two including the best vino verdhe, starters, bread, cheese and entree portions that were far too big was only 65 euros.

Because we loved everything about this place, we kept coming back again. During a span of 5 days, we visited this place 3 times. We were so happy every time with the freshness of the fish, its taste, and the great service. I hope that the owner will consider opening a branch in Toronto for fish lovers.

The worst place to eat fish. The service is far from avarage, the food quality is terrible. I would not suggest to visit this place. read more The worst place to eat fish. The service is far from avarage, the food quality is terrible. I would not suggest to visit this place.
