Superbe service, très attentionné, merci Juan!
Excellentes petiscos (entrées), les grillades étaient par contre trop « grilladées »…
J'y retourne pour les poissons, arroz marisco & plus!
We visited this restaurant for the first time a couple of weeks ago & were genuinely blown away - the food was incredible, portions were generous, & we left feeling like we had eaten like royalty.
Unfortunately, our second visit told a different story. The flavours that impressed us the first time were noticeably missing. The dishes lacked seasoning, tasted bland, & several items were overcooked & dry. It felt like a completely different kitchen was at work.
We were hoping for a repeat of that first exceptional experience, but this time, the meal fell short. Hoping it was just an off night, because the potential is definitely there.
A wonderful & very authentic Portuguese restaurant! Great ambiance, food, & service! We each went with the table d'hôte menu; very reasonably priced. The food was excellent!
Domingo pela tarde. Tempo entre o prato de entrada e prato principal muitissimo demorado e no final a comida estava morna. Por favor troquem as facas sao um desastre

The food was delicious & tasted just like Portugal. It was a nice high end restaurant & the service was friendly & as quick as possible. I found the pastel de nata a bit dry, but otherwise the food was great!
Party of six. I had the cod Minhota which was tough & so full of bones. Unappetizing as it wasn't filleted, the spine was covered in potatoes which made it difficult to eat. The seafood rice was way too fishy & the seafood was tough. Perhaps not fresh. The bread & wine was good. The appetizers…again fish was tough.
Im writting this in hopes someone from the restaurant reads it. It was my first time there I brought my boyfriend for his bday…food was great..we took fish & seafood mostly…. However a few hours later my boyfriend & I got severe food poisonning…. We have been sick for more than 24hrs… It kinda sucks because the food & service was great but clearly your fish & seafood had contaminants.

Best Portuguese food is known for its seafood, cured meats, & soups, & this place lived up all those expectations.
The service was excellent, & the staff was friendly & through with menu, great recommendations for dinner. They often check to ensure all is well.
