One of the best restaurants I've been to recently. Traditional Portuguese food that you don't see everywhere. Good variety on the daily menu with good quality, quantity and at an affordable price. If you're looking for somewhere to have lunch this is a great place.

A good place to have a filling lunch. Not too many varying options, but the food is very good. We even got two extra shrimps because "the first ones were too small". Lamb cooked in wine was njst amazing.

The owner and staff is extremely friendly, always smiling and transmit tranquility. The restaurant is nice decorated, with a modern design, very clean with fresh air, elegance and refinement, comfortable chairs and tables. A very successful evening where we felt extremely well until the closing of the restaurant when we drank of wine glass with the staff. You must visit this restaurant for special culinary surprises, meat and fish and for the outstanding wines from Portugal kept in a open view cool wine cellar. Great place ! Fully recomended !!!
It will be one of your surprises in Portugal.
If you are not aware of the place - prepare to be surprised. The location is on the middle of the Gafanha (not a very turistic place) and when you park you see a typical local portuguese cafe. Do not go there.... but turn to the basement ("a cave"). As soon as you enter, you just moved into a different place.
A Cave is thus an international-inspired restaurant, but with portuguese dishes. Food confection is quite good (surprisingly good), and the major issue is that some of the food materials could benefit from higher quality meats (they are good portuguese meats, but the confection would be worth better). The dishes for two are a good bet - and the wine list has very reasonable prices in some brands.
Service is sympathetic and will make you feel welcomed. The cost-quality relation is very good as well, and you can expect a 20€ per person with drinks.
