Dîner Fin PM sur terrasse un jeudi, peu occupé
J'ai prix l'assiette côtes levés (4 côtes) & poulet. C'était trop bon! J'y retourne.

Un très gros coup de coeur pour le service professionnel, chaleureux & impeccable de la jeune femme d'origine Indonésienne, wow !!!

Nous avons aimé notre expérience dans l'ensemble !

Nous avons pris en entrée l'excellente soupe du jour & les accras de morue (un peu trop salé).

Comne plats principaux : assiette de calmars frits & assiette mixte de poulet & côtes levées. Le tout était très bon & copieux ! La sauce sur le poulet était trop salée. Nous avons ramené le reste & la serveuse nous a emballé le tout dans un sac tellement beau & adorable ! Merci ! 🙂

Mon Aquinta préf'!
Qu'est-ce qui se passe?
J'ai remarqué ces derniers temps que votre portion poulet dans la version combo côtes levées est maigre... Beaucoup d'os & peu de chair! À peine 4 bouchées...

Food is sooo delicious! Especially for us, latinos, who crave for a good home-like steak with fries & salad this is the place. There are other nice options, too. You'll find seafood dishes, soups & traditional Portuguese dishes & desserts. Try the natas, they are the specialty of the house. Delicioux!!. Very friendly service, good prices & a cozy, local atmosphere. My only observation would be that, specially next to the kitchens, the place is hot & in summer that might affect some. A plus is that they have free Wifi. Prices rank in a good range: Steak was 28 ( with taxes), the Virgin Mai Thai 7.50( w/t) & the natas 3 ( w/t). Really, really good.
