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.

The bacalhau &agrave; minhota was proper homemade style, big portion for the price. I ate there on a random Tuesday and left full, which says a lot. Service was nice too, not hovering. Just wish they had more dessert options, but honestly for what you pay, it&#39;s a solid stop.

The sarrabulho rice really hit the spot, especially with the fireplace going. Hearty and full of flavor, exactly what I needed on a cold evening. The place has that old-school feel, nothing fancy, but the warmth made it comfortable. Service was fine, not hovering or anything. Just a solid meal in a cozy spot.

Stopped by for lunch on a work trip. Got the charcuterie board and a local beer&mdash;both were solid. Portions are generous for the price, which is hard to find around here. Owners were friendly without hovering. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Old school spot by the river, been around forever. Food was solid, nothing fancy but done right. Bill came out a bit higher than expected though.

Stopped by for a quick bite and honestly the food was fresh. Staff kept checking in, nice vibe. Place is small but cozy. Maybe a bit slow when it got busy but I didn&rsquo;t mind. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

Steak was cooked just right and the sides were tasty. Got busy but we didn&#39;t wait too long. Solid spot for a casual dinner with friends. 😊

The codfish with mashed potatoes was the real deal&mdash;flaky, well-seasoned, and the potatoes were silky. I had a glass of white wine with it, and honestly, it paired better than I expected. Lemon tart was a solid way to end. Around 25&euro; with appetizers and dessert, which felt fair for what you get. Place was busy but not chaotic.

We had the sarrabulho rice and the posta &agrave; provedor. Both were pretty good, well-seasoned. Service was quick, which I appreciated. Place was busy but we didn&#39;t wait long for a table. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something straightforward. Maybe not the cheapest, but the food held up fine.

Service was attentive, they kept my forgotten items safe overnight. Good to see that level of care.

Perfect spot for a quick bite after work. Grabbed the seafood platter to go, huge portion! Ate it on a bench watching the sunset over the harbor. Food was fresh, hit the spot. Maybe a bit pricey, but you&#39;re paying for the view.

Service is always on point here. The staff are super friendly and efficient, even when it&#39;s packed. They really know the menu and gave me a great suggestion for a pasta dish I&#39;d never tried.

Got a table on the terrace, nice view. The set menu was good value with drinks, two courses, dessert, and coffee. The lamb was cooked just right, tender and flavorful. Staff were really friendly.

&euro;8 menu with drink and coffee included &mdash; that&rsquo;s hard to beat. Food was simple, home-style, nothing fancy but tasty. Staff stayed friendly even when it got busy. Solid spot for a quick lunch.

You can watch them cook right there on the grill, which is spotless. It&#39;s a nice touch, makes the whole meal feel more genuine and reliable.

Came with a big group of 10. Food is fresh, staff is nice. Went back the next day for lunch. Quick service, good for a fast bite.

We had a brilliant experience. Good food super delicious beer. And the staff is vibe.

This family restaurant lies very close to the river, and is was lovely to get there.Though it might be a bit pricy, we enjoyed the service and the patience dealing with our orders, and the food was amazing! The grilled whole fish was one of the best fish we ate in the area. Would definitely recommend.

wonderful views and food &iexcl;&iexcl;&iexcl;  price was ok and the restaurant is very nice. Restaurant is in a castle with views of the valley.. Fodd is wonderful, Portuguese meat of excellent quality.

Good quality of food, very friendly and smiling waitress, reasonable prices. I had mussels as a starter, octopus as main and a chocolate dessert, all delicious. Recommended!

First time trying their paella for two. It was huge, definitely enough for two hungry people. The rice was perfectly cooked, not mushy at all. Really enjoyed the flavor.

The owners are so friendly, they remember our usual order. Service is quick, whether we eat in or get delivery. It&#39;s nice to feel like a regular.

The cream cheese dessert with walnuts was such a nice find. It&#39;s homemade and not too sweet, really hit the spot after the main course. A lovely way to finish things off.

The menu del d&iacute;a is a solid choice. Generous portions, quality is there. Had the grilled fish today, it was fresh and perfectly cooked. Good value for what you get.
