Extremely disappointed this time around. I ve been here 3 times in the past 2 months . The first 2 times were excellent but this last time was bad . I got grilled codfish and it was ice cold in the middle! I mean cold as if it just came out the fridge. Horrible. Too bad cause I really enjoyed it the first 2 times.

We visited on a Saturday, around 5 we were seated our server Carla was very good. We had a few questions about the menu and she answered them ALL! The Chicharros served with boiled potatoes and a side salad was very good ,my son-in-law had the Quail that the sauce it came with was delicious served with rice and french fries my daughter had Shrimp Mozambique that had a hint of lemon in it delicious served with rice and french fries.The French fries were hand cut from fresh potatoes NOT FROZEN! For dessert, we shared 2 the tiramisu and the arroz doce (rice pudding) both DELICIOUS!!! we definitely will be going back..Parking: Not too many spaces to park, but we got there fairly early so we were good.

Overall experience was not worth the drive. The apps were bad. Calamari was dry and the packet of Heinz marinara sauce was very sad. The pica pau was just flat. The Francesca was recommended and just fell short. The rice pudding very loose and weird that she warmed it the microwave so top was warm and the middle cold. The service was slow nothing special. If the food represents his cook don't buy that either. But those are my opinions. But give them a shot maybe it was a bad night.

Worst first impressions of a restaurant. Right from the start everything was a disappointment. We have high hopes considering all of the positive reviews, and it failed to meet them even in the slightest.For starters it took 15 minutes for the waitress to take our drink order. There is no kids menu at all. Bread was stale. The prices are high end for sure, and sub par food. My husband ordered the Azorean steak well done and it came out medium. Rice was unflavored. The fries were horrible l. I ordered the stuff salmon and I can't even tell you how it was because my plate never came out. After 25 minutes after my husband received his plate I told the waitress I no longer wanted my meal and to kindly take it off the bill. She apologized sincerely and it's not her fault I understand. Someone in the kitchen failed and now I have written off Algarve as a one and DONE. Never again. What a shame.Kid-friendliness: Absolutely NO childrens menu

This food was delicious. I had the Portuguese steak, and it was really big! I had to take half of it home! I can't wait to come here again.
Wicked fun Thursday night where locals got up and sung Fado. Definately worth going for that! Very large Portuguese-speaking crowd. The crowd and the help were very warm and welcoming Food was good, but not spectacular, and a little pricey for the neighborhood. All in all, worth the visit.

This is a family owner small restaurant, plain, 2+ miles from the tourist area.My wife ordered Portuguese Beef Stew (Carne type Guisada) delicious and spicy, and was excellant.I ordered one of the daily "special"- Grouper and potatoes, but was served Sea Bass, onions and potatoes. It was bony, but good.Service could have been better. Our order was not served properly.Had a pleasant waitress but she had language problems, a foreigner, knew little English no Portuguese.The wait was 50 mins for the order!Alcoholic drinks expensive.This was 3 to 4 star experience; hard to accurately state the quality because of a mess up order.Parking: There are about six parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant
