We came back after 7:30pm and they had their lights on so we went in to get a table and were seated immediately. The initial menu that the waitress gave us was in Portuguese, so we asked if she had a menu in English and she brought us one. There was a tourist menu for 15 euros per person which came with soup, chicken with fries, a drink (choice of bottled water, wine, beer, or soda), and coffee. We went for that since we both felt like having chicken instead of the seafood and beef that we have had in the past 6 days. Everything was very good and you really couldn't beat that price for a good meal!

Since they just opened we got a table but most were reserved so get a reservation if possible. I started with a glass of local wine which was relatively cheap but the drinks at this place were no bargain. We started with their peeled prawns in piri-piri sauce. The sauce was tasty but once again I was fooled by what they considered peeled in this part of the world. Messy. For my main I got the pork tenderloin braised in a port wine and onion sauce it was delicious but it took almost 45 minutes to prepare (so they claimed when we inquired on where our food was after a long wait). The side of fried potatoes was very good. My wife got the vegetable couscous which was not very exciting but she said "that's what I ordered". Service was good. Overall prices were reasonable but we noted that taxes were not built into prices like some restaurants...
