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.

My husband found this local gem online and it did not disappoint. Yelp says they open at 6, this is…read moreincorrect. They open at 5:30pm. 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.

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!

Cute, elegant, authentic and fully deserving of a star review…read more Tasty spot - the name itself - is perhaps the only downfall of this wonderful little restaurant, tucked away off the cobbled streets of Burgau. The food, decor and atmosphere scream out for a more sophisticated name to match the quality of the service offered. Nonetheless, a fantastic little bistro a stones throw from the beach. I had the Swordfish steak that comes with potatoes and fresh seasonal vegetables, and whilst the fish itself wasn't the very best I've ever had, the potatoes and vegetables were cooked and seasoned to absolute perfection. My girlfriend had the chicken which came alongside a apple, mango chutney - a brilliant twist on a simple dish. Very new and a little out of sight, this place is a true gem in Burgau and a meal for 2 with wine and bread starters set us back just €43 - a steal for the quality we received!

After a week with the other half's…read morefamily, staying in a large villa 5 minutes away from the centre of the town, we headed to Look for a quite night together. We booked during the day, though it wasn't necessary on this occasion, but totally recommended if you're visiting during peak times i.e. weekends and summer. The decor hasn't changed dramatically, with a modern feel that can feel at odds with the surrounding natural beauty of Luz, but helps to make it stand out. It has changed managerial hands since our last visit, but is still owned by the butcher of Baptista (the local supermarket) so the meat and food quality was on par with our last visit. Our waiter was super friendly, explaining that it was his first night, but there was really no need as he was spot on throughout the night. We started with the grilled goat's cheese and some seared scallops. The goat's cheese was overdressed in my opinion, with strawberries and pineapple, taking away from the actual simple beauty of the dish. The scallops were tasty, on a simple bed of grated carrot and salad leaves, but there was too much oil on the plate to fully enjoy the dish. Onto mains, it would just be rude not to go for the steak! I had the fillet and the other half went for the rib eye, both cooked medium rare, with the standard side of vegetables and 'steakhouse potatoes' i.e. chips. We were both going to have the peppercorn sauce but were recommended the mushroom along with the pepper and were more than happy to listen - really glad we did as the mushroom actually turned to be the best! The chips were a bit of a disappointment in my opinion as they weren't anything special, but the vegetables with garlic were very tasty, and the steak was simply perfect. It's quality meat cooked perfectly, and everything we had remembered. We were both stuffed at the end so no desserts, but a white port on the house - very much the style of Luz - was the perfect finisher offer.
