Food is great. It was our first time so we had to go with our own recommended options. But the menu has a lot of good options which for sure will make us return often. The service was also very nice and place is very quite. We wonder of during summer we can eat outside, would be a very nice day spent. Nothing to point out, it was a great meal

Very cozy place and nice staff. We were the first ones today so we could choose any table and were promptly served. The waitress there answered all the questions we had, since it was our first time there, and made some suggestions. The suggestions were great!!! For starters we had Coelho de coentrada and Linguiça. For the main course we chose the Empada de coelho and the Arroz de choco e camarão (this was enough for 2 adults and 2 kids). To drink we had the house wine (white) that was really good and at a very affordable price and water for the kids. Finally for dessert we chose the Morgado de amêndoa, the bolo de chocolate and the Ensopado de noz. All of them were awesome. The cost was very very reasonable. It's definitely a place to come back again. Really enjoyed it!!

Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
