Pork steak flavoursome. Shocked to see the Tripadvisor rating. Did we just catch this mom pop restaurant on a good night? Sure the waiter had no English, but we rubbed along just fine.

I ordered fried cuttlefish, the regional specialty. The waiter confirmed that I wanted it served with salad and fried potatoes. The custom in a mid-range Portuguese restaurant is for a main dish priced as this one was, at a sit down restaurant, to include a starch and some kind of vegetable matter or other. (That was my experience at lunchtime in a very crowded place just down the street. However when I was presented with the bill, extra charges were made for both the simple green salad and for the potatoes. The food was OK but nothing special. The service was perfectly good. The house wine was average.
