It took over 1.5 hours for the food to be served, and the fish was alright, nothing special. It was definitely freshly caught but something you can easily find at any decent seafood restaurant. The view by the sea was the only special element. Portions are quite small (coming from someone who does not have a massive appetite).

And I don't give it a zero because it doesn't exist. We went in for a drink with no intention of eating but finally ended up eating there. We don't extend the beer but directly when we sit down we change our minds. Point 1. Without anything reserved, they seated us almost at the end (I didn't mind not seeing the beach, but I'll leave it as a fact) 2. It took them a long time to take note of the times we called them, which were neither once nor twice nor three. Both to drink and to eat. They literally walked past our faces, looked at us and ignored us. The groups of Germans and English behind them were attended to correctly and in a timely manner. 3. The comments that I later read did not help anything to improve this. Very rude and not quick with SPANISH people. Anyway, it's a shame because they invite you not to visit them despite being so close. It's something that has happened to me in the area in different places we have visited. I hope that when you come to our country they won't treat you so badly. ?

They only accept payment in cash, this is not legal according to community legislation. Think again.

Yes, hello, you are probably wondering why there is only a little dot for service, food and ambience. The ambience is wonderfully located right on the beach. Nice restaurant yes and then it almost comes to this but…. the service is very superficial, touristy, very very very much money for naturally naturally styled food... yes, the quality is of course far from anything you would imagine as normal because on the beach you can do a lot of a lot of a lot of a lot better. There is a very friendly waiter and he can carve the fish reasonably well. That's not bad at all, but the rest is actually very, very superficial. I would take some bread and something to drink on the beach??? ?

A wonderful place. Located in a small bay that empties pleasantly in the evening, you can sit on the terrace right on the beach with a view of the sea. The service was always attentive and the staff were very friendly and fond of children. The kids got two helpings of the children's spaghetti bolo. The menu is clear, but there is always fresh grilled fish that you can choose from on display. Grilled calamari, sea bream, red snapper and much more are on the plate. The fish are filleted by the table service. You can easily go from beach day to dinner here in swim shorts and shorts. Very relaxed, simple, delicious - that's all I need on vacation. The prices are fair and, starting at €60/kg for fresh fish, are typically cheap in the area. There is a kiosk window where you can stock up on small drinks, snacks and ice cream during the day. Absolute recommendation for a simple, relaxed, friendly and very tasty dinner where the kids can play and kick on the beach in between :-) Reservation recommended, just do it by phone. Cash only!
Kid-friendliness: It is offered to serve the children their food with the parents' starters - very attentive.

Disastrous experience! We went with our three-year-old son and I think that how they treated us he has no name. We asked for the bill and to our surprise they only accept Portuguese cards, if you are from another place they only accept cash, how can this be? Clearly for not paying commission. They also brought us the account on a tablet, without a ticket... They made one of us stay while another went to withdraw money from an ATM on foot up a huge slope at almost 40 degrees. Disgusting treatment from all the waiters, even with mockery and laughter. As well as terrible food. If they only want local people and not tourists, that's how it will be.

Delicious dinner with the four of us in the evening! Very beautiful on a bay next to a chapel. Nice staff. Cash only, ATM nearby. If you order water with wine, you unfortunately get it in a cheap 1.5 l bottle from the supermarket. Delicious fish, steak, wine and Portuguese dessert. Between 12 and 24 euros for a main course. Unfortunately Cataplana was not possible, you must order a day in advance

The view from outside the restaurant is magnificent and this is certainly what adds value. For fish and seafood, the prices displayed per kilo are prohibitive and give no indication of what will ultimately be charged. Therefore we fall back on the classics but even spaghetti bolognese or omelette are without much taste interest. The servers go out of their way to be pleasant to customers, but an hour of waiting to be seated and another half hour of waiting for simple dishes is not enough to make the experience exceptional. Damage.

Just in short words ✓?World class. The fish was filleted at the table, the taste was indescribable. A little more expensive but it's worth it. You have to go there. Ordering a table is recommended. Again and again.
