lots of options to choose from, relaxed atmosphere, fresh fish, meat kebab, grilled chicken, etc. by order, you can have some very nice fish in the oven, or a fresh crab prepared for you.

I agree with the two previous reviews from Kathy127 and Elidor50... we came across this restaurant on the first night of our holiday and thought it looked charming. It did not live up to expectations and was beyond mediocre. We decided that we'd go straight for a main (there wasn't much time between sitting down and being presented with the... More

Chicken Kebab is lovely. If you like fish it is brought to your table so that you can choose which one you would like cooked. Nice people

We loved eating in this restaurant because everything is fresh, local and cooked perfectly whether you choose chicken piri-piri from the tourist menu or a cataplana for two, one of their fabulous speciality barbecue skewers or something from the day's local catch which is presented for your choice. This is all topped off by superb, friendly service from André and... More

Great food and lovely location. The largest Fish kebab I've ever seen, enjoyable and typical Portuguese staff in this warm and friendly spot on the main road to senhora da rocha.

Friendly service. Good choice of fresh fish every day (they bring a tray of available fish to your table to inspect). Traditional Portuguese dishes served alongside 'safe' dishes for the not so adventurous. Children are most welcome and are catered for well, which was an observation, rather than a first hand experience.

The first night here I had sea bass, which was "ok", my partner had stone bass and said it was gorgeous. We came back a 2nd night and both had grilled peppered steaks, and they were devine, the waiters were very friendly and it was generally a superb restaurant. Highly recommended.

We had steak and it was ok, peppersauce too watery but good on flavor. Icecream out of the carton box, but again ok in flavor. Staff very friendly but the feeling of being in a cheap restaurant remains. Honest food for an honest price, no surprise there.

Superb all round. Jose and his staff were so friendly and helpful. We wanted steak with pepper sauce which wasn't on the menu but it wasn't a problem and it was cooked to perfection-best fillet steak I've ever had. 2 fillet steaks and a gorgeous bottle of wine-42 Euros. Excellent value. Service was superb and Jose the owner was the... More
