Excellent table, copious dishes, affable and attentive staff. The octopus and prawns are divine. The Alentejo of the house in moderation. Controlled price. I recommend this establishment.

Traditional food, good prices.The menu isn't extensive, but what it does have is great.I don't recommend the shrimp because they come in a limited number of four.The worst? Like in all Portuguese bars, the starters they serve without telling you the price...

Last chance for good Portuguese food before crossing the border into Spain. A must stop with friendly and helpful staff.

The golden cod is delicious and the knuckle is perfect for grazing.The treatment by Luis Miguel was charming, very attentive and detailed.Trying it means leaving delighted well eaten and it is not expensive at all. The desserts are delicious.Greetings from Torremejia, Almendralejo and Bilbao.

We found this place by chance and it was a great discovery. Excellent food, high quality and at a very good price. We highlight both meat, fish and seafood. Very abundant portions. Delicious desserts. Very good service, fast despite the people there and a very good atmosphere. A cozy place. We recommend 100%. We will repeat.

The vitela grilled steak was delicious - very tender. Highly recommend. The chocolate mousse was very good also. We both think this place deserves a higher rating.
