The tomato soup was a little strange as it had been egg in it. I noticed what looked like a yoke that match the color of the soup and then thought the white was cheese but no it was an egg so if you're vegan advised. French fries were good, get your own serving because they aren't very big. They do have 1 L bottles of flat water available. And it's a good spot to people watch as people come and go from the greenery of the Overlook and the castle/ fort.

Quite tasty. I wish I would've asked half with Nutella and pay that extra 30 cents. The dessert and drink selection is extensive and on a Sunday night, the place is busy.

We had the coffee and caramelo gelato bola on it, being from America I like my coffee ice cream very well seasoned of coffee this one was not as flavorful and tasted fake. The caramelo however was the best I've ever had. The bananas and kiwi were perfectly ripe, the pineapple was overripe. The crepe was very good just thicker than i had expected. The chantilly was on point and the Nutella drizzle made it a complete dessert. The chocolate drizzle i could have done without, not the most flavorful and a bit chalky for my taste and i love dark chocolate so it just didn't vibe with me. The service was spectacular! We went mid day after having churrasco. We have driven by at night though which seemed to be just as busy as during the day. Great local sobremesa spot.

As the nights are starting to get cooler after the sunset (7:30), they had located many heating lamps and positioned cozy blankets on chairs just in case. It was quite pleasant. Food-wise you can order a tasting menu if several courses with optional wine pairings or do what we did and select from the ala-carte menu. We've learned with the big portion sizes here in Portugal to cut back a bit so we ordered two starters (burratta with tomatoes and the scarlet shrimp with rice). The burratta was a standout with creamy sweet cheese nestled in a tomato confit. The shrimp was interesting-it was almost like a mini lobster and the server removed the head at the table for me. We decided to share a main course-the veal tenderloin which was good but not nearly as tender as one might expect. In between there were little small bites from the chef and we ended with a luscious chocolate dessert. The white glove service was a swarm of activity instantly refilling glasses, clearing plates and changing silverware-it was a little much for me as our table was right at the crossroads of the activity. Wine list is huge as you'd expect with everything from wines by the glass for €10-17 to bottles in the hundreds and even thousands of euros. I saw one that was €6 thousand on the list. As is common in this kind of place, prices were steep and our dinner with 2 drinks, 2 glasses of wine, 2 starters, 1 main and 1 dessert was around €150. Bottom line a lovely place with great service and food and high
