The pastries here are really good, and the coffee hits the spot. I sat by the window for a while, just watching people go by. Staff were polite, didn&#39;t rush me at all. Only thing is the seats are a bit hard, but for a quick stop it&#39;s fine. Nice little place to unwind.

Been coming here for years, and the terrace view at sunset is still the best part. Always worth it.

The vegetarian lasagna was the star for me. The pasta sheets were so fresh and the layers of vegetables had a nice texture. Paired it with their white Alvarinho, which was a great match.

The set lunch menu is a great deal, and the staff are very friendly. The tables are nicely spaced, so it never feels crowded.

Decent spot for a quick lunch. The calamari was pretty good, and the portions are fine for the price. Service was quick, which was nice. A solid choice if you&#39;re in the area.

Came for drinks with friends. The free tapa with each order is a nice touch, makes you want to stay for another round. Tried the marinated ribs, they were really good, tender and flavorful. A solid choice for a casual evening.

The set lunch was a nice choice. Our waitress suggested the tiramisu, and it was the best part. Really enjoyed it. The manager was also very helpful with the menu. A comfortable spot for a relaxed meal.

The staff gave great advice on portion sizes to avoid waste. Really appreciated their thoughtful approach.

We&rsquo;ve been stopping here since 2017 when we&rsquo;re in Portugal. The food stays consistent, and the cocktails are really good. Staff are friendly and make you feel comfortable.

Grabbed a burger and fries here during a quick lunch stop. Burger was juicy, fries had decent seasoning. Milkshake was the highlight, honestly. The 50s diner thing with the jukebox is kinda fun. Service was fast enough for me to get in and out. Price is okay for what you get.

Went for lunch and honestly the portions caught me off guard. Half portion was plenty for two people, we couldn&#39;t even finish. Food was solid, nothing fancy but well done. Place gets busy around noon, tables are a bit close together but it&#39;s fine. For what you pay, it&#39;s pretty fair.

The pork tenderloin really stood out &mdash; best I&#39;ve had in a long while. Steak was cooked right too. Squid had good flavor but nothing crazy. Solid meal overall.

The service was super friendly and quick, which was perfect for our group of friends catching up. We shared some tasty street food that really hit the spot. Just a nice, casual place to hang out.

Nice terrace right by the river, quiet spot to grab a drink and unwind. Food was decent, nothing fancy but it did the job. Service was attentive enough, didn&#39;t have to chase anyone down. Prices are fair for the location. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area and want a relaxed evening.

Buffet place, but the sushi&rsquo;s actually decent. Rolls aren&rsquo;t packed with rice, which I appreciate. Fresh enough for all-you-can-eat. Just don&rsquo;t come starving at peak hours&mdash;service gets slow. Still, for the price, it does the job.

The salmon ginger salad really stood out &mdash; fresh, light, just the right kick from the ginger. Menu had plenty of options, which I liked. Place had a nice buzz to it, not too loud. I&rsquo;d go back just for that salad again.

The seafood rice was proper generous and full of flavour. Could&#39;ve done with a bit more salt but the wine list made up for it. Nice spot for a relaxed evening. 🍷

Fresh ingredients and fair prices. Staff actually paid attention when I asked for help. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something simple.

Stopped here on a random walk and honestly the terrace view over the town square is the best part. Just grabbed a coffee and a cheeseburger bun, nothing fancy but it hit the spot. Nice little break spot if you&#39;re wandering around. Would come back just for the view honestly. 😊

Came for the bacalhau &agrave; br&aacute;s, left happy. Half portions are a good shout if you wanna try more stuff. Duck rice was solid too. Service was friendly, no complaints there. Place got busy later on but that&#39;s on me for the timing.

The Merenda Minhota starter was pretty good, and the Lombo Grosso came out cooked just right. Pudim abade priscos was a decent way to finish. Maybe a bit busy for my taste, but the food held up fine.

The snails are still the star here, honestly. Fish dishes are solid too. Service gets a bit slow when it&#39;s packed, but that&#39;s fine. Prices crept up over the years, though still fair for what you get. 🐌

The grilled sea bass was cooked perfectly and the vegetables tasted really fresh. Nice spot for a lighter meal in the old town. Service was attentive without hovering.

Pork chops were the move here. Big plate, decent price, and they came out juicy, not dried out like a lot of places do. Portion was almost too much for me, but I managed. Nothing fancy about the spot, but it does the job when you want a proper meal without spending a fortune.

Grilled cod was spot on, super simple spot but the food does the talking. Good for a chill dinner with friends, nothing fancy.

Stopped by for lunch, mostly locals and a few fishermen. Got the grilled fish &mdash; tasted like it came straight off the boat. Way fresher than most places around. Price was fair too, not touristy at all. Staff was chill, didn&#39;t rush me. Place is a bit worn but that&#39;s part of the charm. Would eat here again.
