Came for the jazz night. Music was loud enough to enjoy but not so much you couldn&#39;t talk. Food was solid across the board. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something easy. Service was fine, nothing to complain about.

The grilled octopus was the standout. Tender, smoky, not rubbery at all. Had it with a glass of white wine from their list. Terrace was nice but honestly I was just focused on the plate. Maybe slightly pricey for the area, but the octopus alone made it worth it. Would come back just for that dish.

Service was spot on. They actually remembered my drink order from last time. Had the chocolate fondant again - still as good. Place is nice for a proper dinner, not too loud. Just wish they had more dessert options.

Fish and chips were solid. Chef clearly knows how to handle the fryer. Good spot to grab a pint and a bite. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. Maybe a bit busy around dinner time, but that&#39;s on me for showing up late.

Found this place by chance during a high-tide walk. Chicken salad with curry dressing was solid, &euro;15 felt fair. Service quick and friendly.

Friendly enough place. Two mains, half litre of wine, dessert for &euro;28. Squid and fried fish were decent, nothing fancy but fair for the price.

Stopped by for a coffee and some ice cream &mdash; both were good, nothing crazy. The server was a bit cold though, like way friendlier with other tables. Kinda weird but whatever, the ice cream hit the spot.

Busy spot, mostly locals. Sardines were solid, veg cooked right. Staff managed to help us out despite the language thing.

Piri-piri prawns were spot on, sea bass too. Place feels simple, no fuss, but the food&rsquo;s a step above. Staff friendly, left us alone mostly. Solid pick if you&rsquo;re nearby.

Stopped by late afternoon when most places were winding down. Staff still friendly, didn&#39;t rush us. View from the terrace is solid. Had a quick bite and coffee, hit the spot. Not fancy, but decent for a lazy stop.

Stopped here for a quick drink after walking along the seafront. The view is really nice, you can just sit and watch the beach. But the price for a small beer felt a bit steep, honestly. Fine for the location, but don&#39;t expect cheap. Maybe just get one and enjoy the scenery.

The tomato rice was a nice touch, and service stayed attentive without hovering. Solid spot for a casual meal.

Fish was fresh, portion sizes fair for the price. Staff kept checking on us, not in a pushy way. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want seafood without the tourist markup. Nothing fancy but it does the job. Maybe a bit loud inside when it gets busy, but whatever.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and grabbed a glass of white to go with the salmon. Fish was fresh, cooked just right. Staff kept checking in without hovering. Fair price for what you get. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and want something simple.

The grilled fish was done right, flaky and moist. House red went down easy with it. Sat on the terrace, nice breeze. Inside looked a bit dead though, no vibe. Probably better to grab a table outside if you can. Decent spot for a low-key dinner, nothing fancy.

The homemade flan here is really good&mdash;smooth, not too sweet. Staff remembered me on my second visit, which was nice. Wish they had more veggie sides, but the main dishes felt fresh.

Hands down the best coffee I&#39;ve had in Olh&atilde;o. I stop here whenever I need a quiet break. The espresso was strong and came out fast. My only tiny complaint is the pastel de nata was a bit small for the price, but the coffee itself makes up for it.

Solid spot for a beer with a sea view. Outdoor seating&#39;s plentiful and right in the center. Prices fair. Staff honest&mdash;they flagged me down when I left change behind.

Quick lunch stop near Loul&eacute; center. Portions are big for what you pay. Grabbed takeaway, didn&rsquo;t wait long at all. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re in a hurry and hungry. Nothing fancy, but it does the job.

Solid spot. Garlic carrots on the side were a nice touch. Food&#39;s consistent, service was warm. Calm enough to actually talk. Nothing fancy but it works.

The picanha was really good, cooked just how I asked. I also tried the bacalhau, nice and flaky. Portions are big, I couldn&#39;t finish mine. Only thing is the service gets a bit slow when it&#39;s busy, but the food quality makes up for it. Fresh ingredients, you can tell.

The oysters were really fresh, and the grilled fish was decent too. Sat right by the beach so the view did most of the work. Paid a bit more than I usually would for lunch, but the portion was fair for what you get. Not somewhere I&#39;d go every week, but fine for a treat by the water.

The terrace is the spot&mdash;castle view and way more space than inside. Cataplana was tasty and huge, fed three of us easily. Just watch out, the starters they bring out aren&rsquo;t free 😅
