Very good, excellent food, good service, the only drawback is the waiting time for the dish, but only if it is the dish to be prepared, there are ready-made menus

A very welcoming family restaurant. Dish of the day: Roast chicken, half a chicken with a side dish for each person, fries or rice, 2 beers and bread, which was very good by the way, and olives. We paid 19.60 including VAT. They made a mistake in one of the orders but apologized, took responsibility immediately and corrected it. Good experience, to be repeated.

A typical Portuguese tavern restaurant.You can check at the entrance the grill and the food being lovingly cooked.Grilled chicken is the typical here, but anything on the menu is great.Humbled people and space but amazing food and service.If you take the National 2 road please stop here for some soul food.

Excellent restaurant for a quick stop for those traveling for work.I had a divine chickpea with chispe.Not too fatty, even my wife ate it.Good wine to accompany it and at the end a delicious homemade mousse.So good that I forgot to take pictures.

The restaurant is a typical Portuguese restaurant with great food and accessible prices. The roasted pork was absolutely to die for
