Bica D'areia - Praia

Good food. Note: there are flying cockroaches in the environment during the evening (not the debt of the restaurant)

Great place next to the beach. We went here twice. The food we had was good. Especially, the cachupa is very good. Unlike the other reviews, the service was good in our opinion. Friendly and fast. However, after the starter, the main dish is served very fast. We were not finished with the starter yet. Nonetheless, would defenitely come back.

The sea views are great, the decor is nice, and the food is mostly quite good. However, the service can be REALLY frustrating it took repeated requests for more than 10 minutes to get some bread from a non responsive waiter, and the process of paying was also VERY long and frustrating (no credit cards, by the way). We shall not come back.

Mussels were too cooked, lobster very small (not even sellable I would say). Fortunately attitude of the waiter was great and mussels weren't paid. Fish was great and aperitivo also. So that a 3 average, but I won't come back at all.

They run under a different name now, osteria no. 3 . pasta we just had there was horribly oversalted. sincerely hope they improve their pasta puttanesca as the location is otherwise decent. only one single bottle of strela preta seemed to be available. our polite complaints regarding the spoiled food were taken w out any reaction or response whatsoever... EDIT: staff are slow and forgetful too. I missed that initially. Waiting more than half an hour for coffee water did not help.
