They serve authentic and incredibly delicious Portugese food. The grilled fish (sardines and mackerel) are life changing. My wife and I haven't had fish as good as here before. The prices are also incredibly reasonable. Lunch is 8-10 euros, and includes a main course, bread with olive oil, drinks (including beer) and a desert. It's also run by a very friendly manager named Paulo. He helped us pick the right dishes and even gave helpful hints about town. You'll be making a huge mistake if you don't save a meal to spend here!

The octopus grilled definitely had complex textures tender charred grilled tentacles ends. It was great entree. The ribeye was another amazing entree the size portion was fantastic. Seasoned prepared as specified. Tender fatty but not as much as you'd usually expect also it was a boneless steak yet still it was so special. It gets packed Easily but they let you enjoy yourself not a rush to get you out. Wine great food great time with friends and family wonderful city. The fish soup was brothy with a combination of different fish pieces. The lamb chop was tender grilled medium. I do wish it was as seasoned as the ribeye but it was well worth it. The price point for 5 entrees will have you thinking it's not possible. They have fresh fish layed out as you enter.

It is the kind of place that sticks with you long after you leave. We stopped by just for ice cream and it did not disappoint, delicious and a perfect match for a warm day by the rocks. The staff were friendly and upbeat, which made the whole stop feel easy and enjoyable. One practical tip worth mentioning is that if you plan on taking your ice cream to go, finding a garbage can in the area is surprisingly difficult. Better to sit down and enjoy it there, which honestly is the right call anyway given the views.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

There are dozens of stairs to get down to the restaurant, so it is not wheelchair accessible. It is literally at the end of the cliff, down by the water, tucked in between cliffs.

We went in at around 12:30pm there was almost no one, but from 1pm it got pretty crowded with mainly Portuguese people. Staff was nice, they have menu with English, and price was good too! * * * FOOD * * * Vegetable Soup: A It's in between clear broth and creamy type, it's a cabbage driven soup with lots of fresh cabbage, I have not had such good cabbage soup in the past. Not too salty and they taste was just about right. Grilled Sardines: A It was really good! 8 euros for 5 sardines, the sardines were grilled perfectly and it's not very salty, the skin crunchiness was just about right, and the fish quality was super fresh. They also offered a bowl of salsa kind of things, sardines does have that taste that some people resist but the salsa acidity refreshed my taste buds right after, making me want to eat the sardines even more to balance it out. Excellent food, good quality and good price. I'm definitely a fan!
