“ Beautiful view from the window. Lucky table was by the window and view directly on the water. Nice music. Service was a bit slow. But it is not so critical. It is difficult to say about the dishes themselves. I liked the fish soup, it reminded me of solyanka. Kebab with fish and shrimp sounds interesting. But in fact, it's pieces of fish and two shrimps laid out in a row, plus salad and potatoes. I don't remember the name. I liked the meat, it was juicy and not dry. ”

“ The food was good overall. A lil bit of seasoning was missing on the fishes. Passion fruit lemonade was the hit. The guy who takes the order of drinks was very respectful and friendly. View was top. Recommended ”
“ This is a wonderful gem in Portimao with a beautiful view of the ocean. The sunset was gorgeous and the moon in the sky added a special touch. The food was lovely. We got the seafood for 2, oysters & prawns in garlic sauce. Delicious ! ”
“ Perched on top of a cliff with breathtaking sea views, this traditional restaurant offers delicious local dishes in a truly scenic setting. The spacious layout is great for families, with high chairs and toys available for kids. While the menu is available in multiple languages for tourists, communication was occasionally challenging as some staff had limited English, and unfortunately, our dessert never made it to the table. ”
