It's situated in a small square (not far from the main square) that is surrounded in an area of shops. Having the shops was an extra bonus and a wonderful way to visit among the locals. Nice, nice wow look at that.

We've been in Setubal almost a week and eaten out two meals a day. This restaurant is the best we…read morehave discovered. It has a great atmosphere--beautifully decorated and very romantic. And the food is outstanding. Love the amazing Shrimp dish with ginger, garlic and chilis. It's not spicy just very flavorful! The grilled veggies and tomato rice are also delicious. We also love the lemon tart (pie): best dessert ever! On top of all this, the service is great, servers are so nice and personable. Thank you to Rachel, Pamella, Andre, Filipa, and all others we met in this lovely restaurant!

Wow, what a great experience! I read about this restaurant…read moreon TripAdvisor and knew I had to try it while visiting Setúbal, Portugal--and I'm so glad I did. The service was exceptional from start to finish. The food was a true immersion into Portuguese cuisine, and the octopus was honestly some of the best I've ever had. For dessert, we chose the chocolate mousse, and both the presentation and flavor were unlike anything I've experienced before--absolutely incredible. I can't say enough about the staff and manager. Their warmth and attention to detail made this meal one of the most memorable of my travels. Highly recommended!

It would have been a 5 star rating if not for the fact that the lamb was super chewy and all fat, and the vegetables were drenched in oil. My fish selection was perfection! As was my husband's steak. I had the fish soup and was surprised to see it had macaroni pasta in it, so that was a first. Wine was good, and the ambiance was wonderful outside in the square. Inside was nice and by the time we left, it was packed.

Just awful. Don't waste your money. Been here twice- both times disappointed…read more In the first visit my boyfriend got the octopus and I got the tuna. Neither anything special and he said "this isn't any different than what I would have done - just way more oil." I came here after a week of craving a good steak only to be punched in the gut with a pitiful excuse for a meal. The food is as bland as can be with the excuse that they serve you an entire slab of salt so you can season the meat yourself. Of course, this is mainly for steaks (I believe) anything else relies on iodized salt. Honestly I go to restaurants for tasty food that I don't have to season myself, thank you, and something beyond SALT would be great. Will never come here again. Too expensive for less than mediocre food. I also literally had to search "calming jazz" on my phone since they had no music playing. God forbid a little melody disrupt the soccer game.

I've visit this restaurant every time I'm in Setubal and I'm never disappointed. You'll be greeted…read moreby one of two owners who speak great English. I was able to select my dish from the fish display which I learned is restocked daily. I always start with the choco frito which is similar to fast food fish and chips but the fish is denser, like a scallop. It is always very good. They have beer on tap and an excellent house wine as well as many other options. I stick to the beer. If you're adventurous you should try the sardines, locals swear by them but I've never been able to get all the bones out. The bones are not much of an issue if you've ever eaten fish. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, I've never been disappointed when dining here. It's a casual environment, you can catch a football game (soccer) on one of the large TVs and they typically have music playing. At the right time of year street performers will come by and entertain you if you're sitting on the patio area. The patio look out over the harbor and makes for an excellent backdrop for a casual lunch. I'll be back in October and I'll be heading there for sure, I'll be sure to add a few pictures to my review.
