The food isn’t worth the terrible experience.
Arrogant and uncooperative staff. They don’t do half the menu. If asked for a fish plate, they just tell you take meat instead. If you ask for bread, they tell you they no longer have it. All this while being constantly ignored and treated with contempt. We actually got to the main dish after 1h45 of sitting and waiting.
Also, their famous dessert. When booking the table, we were told that we needed to reserve a specific dessert if we wanted it for dinner, so we did. When we arrived at the restaurant, we made sure to check that they would do this dessert for us, which they confirmed. When we asked for it after the main dish, this dessert was no longer available, of course.
At the end, after pointing out to them our bad experience, we were insulted, and even physically threatened when leaving the place.
Spare yourself the trouble and don’t go here.

Best seafood that I have had in years. The sea bass (robalo) with green beans and potatoes is simply otherworldly. Loved it
Sorry that all I have to show for is a pile of bones. It was that 😋
Very helpful and kind service. The restaurant was full and even without reservation we got a table with a very little waiting time. It did worth it. The fish was gorgeous. Definitely a place to visit.

The best stake I have had in my life. We got to this restaurant fairly late at 9:45pm on a Friday and we were not sure if they still served food or not. We found out it's open until very late and they close whenever the least customer leaves.
Plenty of space for everybody, small groups or big ones.
The for was absolutely mine blowing. I would travel from London again, just to have that stake!!
Highly recommended!!!

A place that we have a reservation for 2. They made us wait 30 minutes in the door. We had to leave, without a solution. We talked to 3 waiters, but no solution Really bad client service

An amazing traditional Portuguese restaurant.
I highly recommend you get the Robalo cozido em algas. For dessert I recommend the homemade traditional Leite Creme 👌🏼
This is a great place for you to bring the family on a Sunday afternoon.

You'll not find a more typical place to eat, all is fresh and tasty...the staff pretty cool and the experience great. All this for a ridiculous bill. Try the local aguardiente, you'll tell me about it...cheers!
The only place in Portugal without haddock! We went there coz someone told us about it and we had high expectations but I wouldn't recommend it. They didn't serve us properly due their high demand, leaving us waiting up to 30 min to get some coffees (after a horrible lunch) and we've never got them by the way. As a professional in hospitality I felt ashamed how we were treated. Good luck if you are a foreign costumer.
