Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

So good we went twice in a seven night stay. Seafood cataplana was superb as was the dressed crab followed by wild Seabass we shared on the second visit. Proper restaurant service and great Portuguese wine selection.

This restaurant serves quality food. The fish and shellfish are always top quality. The staff are wonderful and have been providing too service all the years we have been eating there. My oysters with honey (yes honey) were amazing. I had Silver Bream (a recommendation)...for the first time ever and it was beautiful. We’ll be back soon for one of their marvellous fruit de mer.More

We were really looking forward to eating here reviews were great and food looked really good. Unfortunately we ordered bread and chiefs butter before the meal and after we ate a few slices we looked into the bag and found litrally a colony of live...ants, when we said it to our waiter we didn't even get an apology just a new bag. We asked to speak to a manager after this and he just said "things happen" and he would give us 6 euro off the bill . I would like to add the meal was very enjoyable but I don't think it was handled well enough and it ruined the eveningMore

It was a big surprise! We had a seafood platter so lovely and abundant- enjoyed each single bite. They served us two specialities from Portugal; stuffed stone crab and goose neck’s; fresh from the sea: if you can’t find the place it is worth looking...for! English and German speaking. Clean toilets as well. Locals are eating here: a sign of quality and being served well!More

We ordered the fish of the day, which was sea bream served with vegetables and potatoes, it was 10/10! So simple but cooked perfectly, everything was so flavoursome. Service amazing and lovely ambience in the restaurant. We also had bread with butter and an olive...tapenade and a large bottle of water and the whole bill only came to £40 for the two of us, so an absolute bargain for the quality! Likely to be £20-30 more if we’d ordered a nice bottle of wine but definitely worth it. We will be back!More
