The terrace is an absolutely perfect setting to enjoy wine and dinner while the sun is setting. The food was beyond excellent. We started with a large plate of tapas/starters with glasses of house red wine. We then had delicious entrees. My wife had sea bass and I had black pork - both excellent. Finished with a traditional Algarvean rolled dessert with dried fruits and my wife had bread pudding. My two daughters also had wonderful kids' dinners and strawberry ice cream. The wait staff was very kind and helpful. We highly recommend this wonderful place.

Owned by a lovely couple -- she's Portuguese and he's Irish -- who clearly love seeing their patrons enjoy their authentic, prepared-from-scratch meals. We enjoyed chatting briefly with them both during lunch. We couldn't decide whether we wanted to drink the white or red house wine, so our waiter suggested we sample both. He brought use a generous sample and although they both tasted great, we decided on the red. I must admit that when my friend spotted the restaurant from across the street, I was not excited because I thought it was a Churrasqueira grill that featured BBQ chicken. When we checked the daily features menu, I was instantly impressed by the large selection of authentic Portuguese dishes and the reasonable prices.
