Loved the flavors- this was one of our favorite spots in our entire Portugal visit! Our group of 7 felt very comfortable. As we were leaving locals were coming in to have dinner at 10:40Pm this is a new family restaurant opened less than a year ago and I can't stress the amazing flavors. I've had some bland food on this trip and thrilled to have found something flavorful - coming from Los Angeles a place with great restaurants- I can be particular about food and this place hit the spot.

Second stop was for ice cream. They were so many unique flavors to pick from - it was so hard to decide. You can sample flavors but only after picking a size (cone or cup) and making a payment. The cup sizes include one less flavor so for example with a medium cup, you can select up to three flavors. With a medium cone, it is just two. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is incredibly patient as you sample and try the different flavors. They also speak English and will help translate and explain flavors. I ended up going with a medium cup with pistachio, fig and ricotta and golden milk (turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and black pepper - it's amazing!) They have both non-vegan and vegan flavors so ample choices for all diets. There is very little indoor seating (one table) but plenty of seating (tables and chairs) outside for people watching. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Service is quick and there is clean bathrooms. The portions are generous and prices are reasonable. The quality is good overall, with all the plates freshly prepared. However it's tourist food.
