All was really good; too much oil for me but this is portuguese cuisine style: lot of seasoning. Try guys! If u seat outside you Won't disappointed.

Incredibly fresh fish and seafood cooked to perfection. We love the Açorda... which is a very traditional Portuguese dish to use up stale bread... (don't be put off by the sound of that... its wonderful). Seafood rice is amazing. The meat dishes are also fantastic. D'Aurora enables you to push the boat out with Lobster... Crab... and Percebes... known to us English as goose head barnacles. in the UK they cost a fortune... and if you saw how they are picked... you will know why. they are a fraction of the cost in Portugal, so if your adventurous.. this is the place to try them. Hold the base with one hand, twist and pull off the barnacle head with the other and slide off the flesh between your teeth... delicious salty fresh taste of the sea. wash them down with a glass of Vino Verde. Also recommended... grilled Lulas, octopus starter the huge green lipped mussels Lastly a quick word about your host...Amadeu is a wonderfully warm and funny guy. Loves his restaurant, loves his customers... loves his job. D'Aurora is highly recommended... also visit the bar next door!
