    Very nice food good quality and excellent value for money. Would certainly go again if back in this area. It was a quiet time of year so plenty of space. I would expect in busy times it would be necessary to book.

    We chose the E19.99 selection which was great value. We also received a complimentary glass of sparkling wine each as it was our anniversary, and a complimentary glass of port part way through the meal. We had a wonderful selection of tapas for starers and we expected to go back for a second selection - I shouldn't have even though I tied to pick the lighter choices - note to self stick at one plate next time! We chose sea bass for main course which was fantastic, but was when I started wishing I'd stuck to one plate of tapas! We asked for a long gap before dessert to help find a gap for it. That was also excellent! I just wish we lived locally so we could go back regularly.

    Been coming here for years since it first opened. It just gets better and better. Nuno is so welcoming and you feel like you’re dining in his home. Lovely food, wine, setting and the service is excellent. So pleased for Nuno and the team, they’ve done a great job.

    Friendly and good service. Very nice place with a sunny terrace. The food was ok. It wasn't what the kids really liked. However, the desserts were a great success!

    In my humble opinion, this restaurant is perfect. Of course it depends on what you like, but to me, the buffet with everything prepared in detail, the atmosphere of the restaurant and the friendly staff, makes this one a must go. Well, it should be a MUST GO, considering everything I said, plus the price. Don't forget to try the deserts which are not included on in the buffet, we tried two of them and both were delicious.

    Due to some previous comments we thought twice about going however we were really glad we took a chance on this wonderful little resturant. The waiter and waitress were both very friendly and helpful. We had the set menu at 19.90 euro and it was fantastic, there was a lot of choice for main and dessert, a buffet bar to start, so you can taste a little of everything, we both had fish for main, which was absolutely gorgeous and the desserts didn't disappoint either. Would highly recommend this place and sitting outside on the back patio under the stars was the icing on the cake.

    Amazing restaurant with lovely people and delicious food! All the staff has been very kind and attentive to our needs during all the stay. We chose the "all you can eat" formula at 19.90€, so that we could taste up to 30 (!!) different fish and green plates from Portuguese cuisine (more than simple appetizers!), plus a main dish (Bacalhau à Brás / Cavala grelhada served with potatoes) and a dessert (apple cake / mango mousse) ! Had good "green" wine too. Plus some suggestions about how to continue our trip in Algarve... maybe the best dinner we had in Portugal

    Absolutely amazing experience. From the outgoing and friendly staff to the incredible food. This restaurant is a hidden gem. We started with the tapas buffet which was an assortment of local Portuguese classics. Then shared curry chicken and grilled sea bream. Both were cooked to perfection. We will recommend this resturant to all who visit Thank you
