We got there right at 6 and they gave us one of only 2 remaining tables, telling us we had to be done by 7:30pm. We started with prosciutto & melon which was AMAZING!!!!! And reminded us of Italy. My children got the house style spaghetti which was a cream sauce with tomatoes and ham. Neither kid could get enough! The pasta was soooo tasty. My husband and I shared the Mixed Catalana for 2 - prawns and clams. It was the best meal we had during our almost 2 week trip to Portugal. The broth was so delicious I could've drank it with my spoon. It was loaded with veggies too. Came with white rice on the side and some fried potatoes. Also my husband got a glass of house red wine which was a very generous pour! They only take cash, which we did not know ahead of time. But luckily there's an ATM across the street. They turned tons of people away while we were eating. I guess their system is reservation only from 5:30-7:30pm and then after 7:30pm they allow walks in on a first come, first serve basis.

The food was divine and was exactly what we needed to get our vacation started. The cataplana was for two people but could have fed 3-4! The octopus was grilled and so tender - absolute perfection! You will love the service and the food for sure!

Having been here before and well aware of the generous servings, we eschewed starters in favour of a simple, but very good couvert. My ribs were succulent and delicious while my other half's beef sosaties were also given the thumbs up. A very nice Chardonnay met the booze nerd (yes I know it's not red. Sue me) and we wandered into the night in search of ice cream. It's not cheap by local standards but the quality and the service are excellent.

As we entered the building, it was tastefully decorated for Christmas and we were greeted with warm smiles from staff and a woman behind the counter telling us she makes all of her desserts homemade! Each and every dessert looked absolutely fantastic! They were very close to closing for the night but she allowed us to stay to experience that homemade taste. The 6 of us each ordered something different and we all agreed, they were absolutely delicious!! We were never pressured to leave or eat quickly and enjoyed our dessert and drinks with no rush or pressure from the staff. The woman came to our table and asked for feedback and we chatted with her for close to 15 minutes! Chicca is an absolute gem and her desserts are absolutely amazing! Her dinning menu is something we will come back and enjoy. We would all highly recommend this place.

We had luck at 5.30 to get the last free table and had a dinner for 3 for 77 eur with one salad, sangria, swordfish for 12 eur each and cafe with cake. Also a pizza for 11 eur.

Very expensive for a poor quality. Also they charge for every piece of bread and butter.read more

The front of the restaurant is for take out customers, while the dining room is in the back. The waiter didn't give us any menu, because chargrilled chicken is all they serve! Not much choice for sides either - salads and fries, take it or leave it. No apologies. It's interesting to see big families having dinner here, hard to imagine, for an American, that they can all manage to be satisfied with the same dish, without some diet or preference in the way. As you can imagine, for a restaurant like this, they do one thing and do it really good. Tender chicken with a wonderful chargrilled flavor. My husband loves grilled chicken so this is like the 4th chicken place we visited on the trip, and this one is the clear winner. The fries and salad are just meh though.

We started with the family lemonade which was so refreshing and had lots of fresh citrus in it. We felt like we were at a family dinner here with how welcoming it was. We got the Sevilla style squid which was ok, the piri piri helped add flavor. The prawns were plump and flavorful in a nice sauce that we used our garlic bread to sop up the flavors. The sea bream was such a nice and light flavor. Crisp on the outside but soft and meaty inside with fries nicely seasoned and cooked. It's off the beaten path a bit on a side street but still central to town.
