Inside was classically decorated with many square tables that could be rearranged for groups of 1-2 or larger. We did not need a reservation but it was a Tuesday night at 8pm. Service was friendly but could felt similar to the service you get in many tourist restaurants and the idea of American tipping seems to be taking root. Food portions were hearty and seemed to be a more formal take on Portuguese comfort food (I imagine). The Cod Duque was under seasoned with the Octopus done well and the sweet potato puree was just....there.

We came here unexpectedly after a long and tiring day on the Rota Vicentina. There was actually a…read morerestaurant down the block here in Zambujeira do Mar that overlooked the sea and beach, but which served more traditional "home style" food and at which we already stopped for a snack earlier in the evening before running some errands. We had walked by here earlier also and loved the decor, style, ambience, and variety on the menu - so we decided to come back. My goodness we weren't disappointed - the service AND food were outstanding! We wanted seafood but I'm a little squeamish about eating whole fish. So our waiter ensured that our super fresh sea bass was nicely filleted for us. We also got various vegetable sides including a delicious pimientos de padron, and garlic-marinated olives. We also got a really delicious wine recommendation from the region that went perfectly with the sea bass. To top it all off, just before bringing the check we were given a taste of local hazelnut liqueur and it was DELICIOUS - I'm going to have to buy some before heading back to the US!

We stopped in Sines en route to Lisbon from the Algarve and had a lovely late lunch here. The…read moreatmosphere is nice, set in a renovated train station (hence the name, of course). They have a wide variety of seafood, all of which looked delicious, but we went for their special razor clam rice with fried squid, which was delicious (and huge! The half portion was honestly enough for two) We also got the veal stuffed with ham, raisins, and chestnuts in a cream sauce which was unique and tasty. Prices were an excellent value for the quality of the food, and they also have a menu of the day (lunch special) which is an even better deal for around 12e, which had either a fish or meat option when we were there (you have to ask about it, it's on the menu outside but not listed on the inside menu). One downside was that it was pretty hot in there mid-afternoon. We got there right at the end of lunch service so maybe they had shut off the AC? In any case, worth a stop especially if driving north to Lisbon (they have plenty of free parking too!)-would definitely return and maybe explore Sines a bit more as well (castle was cool and beach looked beautiful from afar!)
