Mainly specialising in fish, there were some meat options. Food was cooked by the chef on a BBQ-like grill within view of the customers. Service was excellent, with very friendly staff who offered to take our photo for us. Food is reasonably priced from 8Euros for the day's specials. Toilets are very clean with a plastic film over the seat,... More

We stumbled across this place .. four of us had dinner and we all really enjoyed it. Two of us shared Lobster, mussels, Oysters, clams and it was good value for under 90 euros for both of us. Wine was good too - cant remember off hand which one it was - but ask the waiter to recommend one (... More

We ordered tuna with chips and salade (daily menu). For dessert we had icecream, coup Alvor with two spoons. Beverage, a large beer and rose (1/2 bottle). The tuna... More

Generous portions, excellent service and a renovated restaurant all added up to what is in the title of this review. All the... More

My wife and I went here for our 40th Wedding Anniversary and while the food was good and the service excellent I really thought it was expensive for what we ate. We did have better meals in far more downmarket looking places and an excellent meal at half the price in another place I have written about More
