Food scene
Best traditional Portuguese food, our favourite, from fresh fish and sea food to all sorts of meat! Our recommendation: try the clams for starters and the Arroz de Carabineiros for main, delicious! Wine selection is excellent , can’t go wrong! They also have a small jasmine terrace, so be sure to book your table outside:)
