“ A nice meal and good experience. Average prices and an excellent view of the beach. Octopus lageirio was lovely, as was the cataplana. Bottle of wine was €13! Enjoyed the food, views and service. Obrigado ”
“ If you’re ready to eat what’s on the menu, this spot has the taste and the views. Can get busy and serves local plates, so go prepared to ingest their best. We enjoyed a snack with sangria and wine, and some of our group returned for a lovely meal. Seafood is the point, like many spots around here. Best fish soup I’ve ever had. ”
“ Great restaurant right on the beach! **They will drop off a huge plate of appetizers and you will be charged for what you eat! Send it back if you don’t want to pay for anything. You can pick what you want and send back what you don’t want ** We wanted some local seafood and this huge bowl of fish/shrimp/potatoes was delicious. The menu had a lot of options and we were glad we stopped by to try some local food. ”
“ This place is a hidden treasure for seafood lovers! The freshness of the fish is unmatched, and the way it's grilled to perfection brings out the natural flavors beautifully. Every bite was packed with tenderness and flavor, from the light seasoning to the subtle smokiness from the grill. The sides were equally delicious, complementing the fish without overpowering it. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy, and the staff made us feel right at home. If you appreciate simple, fresh, and expertly cooked fish, this restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended! ”
“ Attention Kmart shoppers and ignorant tourists. This place, like ALL Portuguese restaurants, offers a covert at the beginning of the meal. All 10.7 million residents in the country know this. This seems to be the biggest complaint about this place, and unjustified, as you can always say " no". Also, by law, the prices for all covert offerings are in the menu. Brazil does the same, and Italy charges you just for the right to sit at the table, and maybe some breadsticks. Next, some were concerned about improper weights of fish. Go pick it out..watch them weigh it, or tell them " no more than 1 kilo please". The price, at 35 euros a kg for sargo, dourado etc. Is VERY good..usually 40 or 45. Another complained about the elderly gentleman trying to muster up business..really? You would prefer they sit on their buts? Anyway, the fish was very good..I just gave 4 stars as the vegetables were like you get outside of EU..colorful but a bit tasteless..but for fish on the beach, this place deserves a visit. ”
