Ran by a long time Sommelier, definitely worth visiting when in the area. I ordered their deep fried octopus dish with a barley risotto, I was told the octopus was caught wild off the coast 10 minutes down the road. It melted in my mouth like butter, easily the best executed octopus I've ever enjoyed. Will definitely be going back as the rest of the menu grasped my attention they are always coming up with new ideas.

They have food combinations that are daring, out of the usual, but most importantly scrumptious. They serve fish caught fish, so the menu options change as to the fish; the night we were there they had fresh corvina, paired with lemon risotto, just lovely. We started with a carrot garnish/ purée, onto carrot bisque soup, mix green salad topped with sesame seeds and chickpeas, finishing with the corvina. Dessert was a muffin of sorts spilt in 2, the middle had strawberries & cream, while the top had been drizzled with brandy. Wine selection was good, local wines were well presented. If you're traveling thru Sagres it is a most stop. FYI - take cash, no credit cards accepted.

As we entered the building, it was tastefully decorated for Christmas and we were greeted with warm smiles from staff and a woman behind the counter telling us she makes all of her desserts homemade! Each and every dessert looked absolutely fantastic! They were very close to closing for the night but she allowed us to stay to experience that homemade taste. The 6 of us each ordered something different and we all agreed, they were absolutely delicious!! We were never pressured to leave or eat quickly and enjoyed our dessert and drinks with no rush or pressure from the staff. The woman came to our table and asked for feedback and we chatted with her for close to 15 minutes! Chicca is an absolute gem and her desserts are absolutely amazing! Her dinning menu is something we will come back and enjoy. We would all highly recommend this place.

What a delight to find this gem of a restaurant! The lovely waiter (Lebanese cutie whose name we didn't get) was excellent and quite helpful. He answered our questions and led us to choose fantastic dishes. We decided to share two appetizers and two mains. We selected the corvino and the tempura veggies, both excellent. Our entrees were the incredibly flavorful lentils with eggplant and the risotto. Both were melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Although we were more than completely stuffed we were talked into taking a slice of the vegan ginger cake with us. So glad we did - the coconut frosting was the perfect amount of sweet and the cake the right amount of moist. As we were leaving our lovely waiter gave us each a taste of moroño, the distilled local berry. It's something like 40% alcohol and will our hair on your chest! Definitely firewater!

He brought the sangria in a small pitcher and put the final touches (mixing in some mint) at the table, then poured her glass. We've had sangria all over Spain and Portugal, and this may be the best I've ever tasted (yes, she let me taste). The service was friendly, the pace relaxed, and the energy great.
