"Came across this quaint and petite restaurant by chance and so happy I did! small and elegant with courteous staff. Jan (owner and chef) came out to greet us and ask about our culinary experience, which I must say was excellent. Very reasonably priced."

"We ate here last night and the food and service were both really excellent. Having eaten here just under 3 years ago when the UK temporarily took Portugal off the red list, we were very keen to return. Our experiences echoed those of 3 years ago; excellent service with very friendly and helpful waitresses, delicious starters (including fresh mozzarella salad, scallops and black pudding, and prawn with avocado) and wonderful main courses (chicken with rice, prawns, duck with potato and child’s pasta with chicken). Great wine list, delightful digestif and very well priced. I would heartily recommend this restaurant and if we are back in the area - from the UK - in future years, we will return!"
