Reviews
Wonderful place with a privileged view, and absolutely fantastic service. Ricardo made us feel right at home, with great suggestions and great conversations, in three different languages altogether! (Portuguese, French and English) The grilled fish was spot on, and the starters very original. Will definitely be coming back whenever I am around.

We nearly did not come here based on the reviews as 3.9 is really not a good rating, as a cafe owner myself, I know this… also, one of us is vegetarian and I do not really eat fish or seafood and the menu is 90% ocean. But we came for the location. Imagine my astonishment. First the guy on the front was very welcoming and provided great service (his sidekick, she needs to be removed from the floor… miserable). I wanted to try something different and really wished that I could have tried the sea bass for an individual but I understood that this is an entire fish and is for sharing. I got the beef cheek risotto, my friend the goats cheese pastry and we shared a tomato salad & bottle of Sossego Rosé. Always loved the red and white so was great to try the Rosé. Then the special desert which I can’t recall the name, but is apparently a local specialty. It is without doubt the very first time in my nearly 6 years in Portugal that I have had a meal that was prepared to perfection. Literally the best meal I’ve ever had here… I am accustomed to this standard in Cape Town and Australia and never expected to see it again! Presentation was spot on, perfectly prepared and flavours that complimented and made complete sense with the right surprises. Coffee could be improved, perhaps for something more boutique roasted and barista prepared. I say this only because the price point and atmosphere of the place conjures this expectation for me. The location and view is unbeatable especially as the high tide waves crashed right in front of us. Well sheltered for a sunny cool winters day meant we were toasty warm. The design is good as my 20 year career is in luxury hospitality design. Thankfully limited supplier branded furniture apart from the parasols and coffee cups. We spoke with the chef and owner afterwards to thank them for this really unexpected surprise.

I have not been to a better located restaurant than this. Almost 240 degree view of beach, sea and a river and Fort. It was a partially sunny day. Enjoyed a long drink on the terrace with beautiful view. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Spent some time chatting with them. The cocktail was good too. Reasonably priced. Loved this place.
