This is advertised as a seafood restaurant. I was excited to try the restaurant out. However, the restaurant was cramped, with a poor ambiance. The lady who was also the cook, was cradling her infant baby to sleep, in between juggling kitchen work. Another of her daughters was mingling in the restaurant as though it was their home. I had ordered a grilled fish plate and shrimp kebab. The shrimp kebab was served first, and it was skewed with pork sausage. This was supposedly a seafood restaurant. I told the owner I can't consume this plate, and requested him to change it. He was very arrogant despite his old age and refused to compromise. I, then told him to cancel the order. There's nothing special about this place. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €15–20 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
Nice food nice service, nice atmosphere. As you can see in the picture the fish is really fresh. We had the anchovies, delicious. Also codfish omelette. We came at 11.50 and the waiter kindly told us to come back after 10 minutes. But eventually he served us a beer and the 10 minutes went flying. The prices are unbeatable and the service is second to none. Keep it like this! Obrigado! Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person €5–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Small restaurant in an area with lots of others, we entered a bit by chance, following a short and heavy rain. Specialty is fish, fresh from the day, perfectly cooked and delicious. Nothing fancy, just ultra fresh and well prepared. Children could survive thanks to meat and French fries. Dessert are all home made, displayed and with a nice choice. I would recommend this place without hesitation. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch

Best Sea Bass I've ever tasted! We dined here on the suggestion of a painter working on my friend's house. The owner rises early to fish and displays his catches for you to select. Perfection. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food was good, the price is good, the serving was good. Not so sure how much they respect hygiene measures, but they seem to be ok from the terrace. I would have given 3 stars, but the price and the tasty dishes makes it a good choice for lunch. Otherwise don't expect fanciness, but basic tasty local food.
