We found this hidden gem while wandering the streets of Vila Real de San Antonio (in Portugal but…read moreright across the river from Spain). It is the off season and many restaurants close down for a bit so we were happy to find anything to eat on the deserted streets let alone this treat. The server was happy and friendly and the food was prompt. I gave it five stars because of the environment, service, and food. I would call it comfort food, Portuguese fish and a rounded out menu for those who need a bit of everything. Their pureed vegetable soup (all the soups I've ordered so far in Portugal have been pureed so far..Ireland and France also) hit the spot. Rich and flavorful (ok I added pepper and my extra salt) it was a great way to start the meal. The tables outside are a wonderful way to enjoy the warm weather and people watch the shoppers along the promenade. When it's cooler out or you want the cozy feeling then go inside. There is a wall water feature in one corner and a fireplace feature in the middle of the front room which lends so much charm to the experience. At least pop inside for a quick look before you make your decision. We were glad that it was cold outside or we never would have known that this was much more than a sidewalk cafe. I've added the menu and pricing with some interior photos. Good place, food isn't fancy but it's good and great pricing. We drank the house red wine and it was a perfect food drinking light wine. Cheers and enjoy.

We came here because I asked a guy in the street what was the best place to eat dinner in town. He…read morepointed me to Jaime. We had secretos of Iberian Pork and Golden Sea bream. The fish was well cooked yet moist the french fries didn't even need salt they were that good. And lastly the Secretos were just top notch! For desert we asked for semi frio de bolacha which they served us bolo de bolacha. Really weird, but we didn't want to complain. When we got the bill we were charged for bread 2 butters and a sardine paste that we didn't eat nor touched. Mind you the food was absolutely delicious. The waiters are nice and attentive. We were served in no time even though they were busy. We might come back, but we will sure to ask for the orange complaint book if they pull this on us again!
