The espresso is not going to wow you and they don't ask you how you like your steak, but for €8 including drink, that's about what I expected. The steak fries were surprisingly good; delicately crunchy on the outside. Service was efficient and polite. I ordered stuff here three times now, and every person I've interacted with had good English. Food came out fairly quickly, especially considering how slow Portuguese food service can be in general. Bathrooms: Downstairs. Spacious, clean, and functional.

I called and made a reservation for 6 and we pre ordered three cozido's . If you want to have this for dinner, you must pre order ahead of time as they only make a certain number of them. The cozido is a combination of vegetables, sausages and meat baked together like a stew. One of our party was vegetarian, so we ordered a vegetable only option, which came with "vegetarian sausage". I must say, it is certainly more food than we can eat! We figured a cozido was good to split between two, but we had so much left over. The food was great and you must try since they cook it with the thermal natural way this town is known for. The ambiance was great, modern, clean and amazing views of the town. There is a small outdoor seating option if you'd like to sit outside. I highly recommend making reservations regardless when you visit this place. Service was great, very attentive and pleasant! Also the price for the meal was relatively inexpensive considering we had multiple bottles of wine along with our meal. I highly recommend this place!

The reason I deducted a point was because service was very slow, we sat for 15 minutes before we were greeted by our waiter and it took awhile for our food to come out.

We had a coconut cake for dessert which was also great, not too sweet!

NOTE-this place is cash only It's just a block off the water in an orange building-look for the Irish flag fluttering in the breeze. You've got to walk up a flight of stairs to reach the pub which is bright and cheery. We were just two of a handful of lunch guests at noon on a Tuesday in September. The place is pretty small with seating for maybe 20 or so. Surprisingly no fish and chips on the somewhat limited lunch menu but plenty of great options from cheeseburger to chicken sandwich, Irish stew to a local fish dish and wraps. Of course they also serve Guinness. We each got the cheeseburger and split a small fry. The very thick and juicy burgers were also like meatloaf given their massive size. We could have shared one and still had enough to eat. Fries were super crisp and good. With water and a coke the whole thing was only €18-very reasonable.
