I love this place. I have been there twice in the past year. Try the grilled squid (lots of garlic!) with vegetables and potatoes - just amazing. They also have meat dishes, whole grilled fish, bacala, everything you would expect. It is a small, family-run place with unbelievably cheap and delicious house wine and all authentic food. Also so reasonable... More

I was expecting more from this establishment based on other reviews I've read. Having made a reservation, we arrived at the restaurant only to be told dismissively with a wave of the hand to sit anywhere. Maybe it was an off night. The food was pretty good but not spectacular and the service was a bit laconic and somewhat unhelpful.... More
