Good food, friendly staff. Breakfast is a good choice here as bread is fresh and tasteful, a sort of fresh fruits, coffee and juices. At lunch time, the menu goes from light meals and salads to more sophisticated dishes, representing very well the Portuguese cuisine.

Went to this place 2 days in a row for breakfast and lunch. Staff is very friendly and explained all the local delicacies. Bread with cheese and simple coffee with milk was the best!

Fabulous restaurant. Traditional Portuguese food, in a very authentic way. No excesses of salt, sugar, fat. Just plain iaminess, from good ingredients, well balanced traditional meals, deliciously prepared. Also the desserts and pastry, everything top quality. On top of that, the service is excellent, with super friendly and efficient staff. We had a very pleasant lunch.
