It is so much fun to have a hot stone placed in front of you and you get to sear your steak to perfection. I ordered a fillet and the cut of meat was just beautiful. For €22 the ability to cook table side and have a hot bite ready to melt in your mouth on demand is fun and yummy This delicious chunk of meat came with a baked potato and vegetables which I also tossed on the stone after I cooked my steak. The plate came with some dipping sauces and garlic butter. I asked for more garlic butter and cooked everything in it. It was so delicious and the wine list gives you many paring options, but being in Portugal even the house wine is amazing. This area albufera is not for the faint of heart. This is a crazy party zone so go early in the evening if you want some easy people watching and later in the evening if you want to see some really crazy antics. Service is fast and the waiters are attentive.

Sweet little casual tables out side and plenty inside with a TV (can't miss that game). Large fully stocked bar. Pleasant waiters with big smiles. I ordered the chicken curry which was delicious and came with both white rice and French fries (so many British here and they need their chips). Perfectly seasoned curry. Simple meal, but yummy especially for only 11 euros. We added on an extra beer and coffee and coke and the total was just under 27 for two people. Great value, kinda makes shopping and prepping and clean up at home unnecessary. I ordered the salad which was better than most in the region (many places will just plop some lettuce and a tomato on your plate) this one had onions, peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes (photo attached). Desert was a vanilla cake and vanilla ice cream. Yum. Photo attached also. The vanilla ice cream had strong vanilla flavor which was so yummy. I was just going to have a bite or two of desert and couldn't keep away from the yummy flavor (especially with the coffee on the side). My coffee is a galao which is a Portuguese way of ordering coffee and milk which is always the right amount for me. It's a casual place and we sat outside with my sandy feet and flip flops after a long walk on the beach. So casual here outside is perfect. It doesn't look like much when you walk past but well worth a great lunch or dinner to stop in and enjoy. I'll be back!

Definitely didn't think I'd be coming here for my first dinner in Portugal. Steak and Grill…read more Thought it was American food. Then we saw the word Rodizio. Rodizio is basically ayce meat options where servers bring around various cuts of meat on large skewers and then if you want it, they slice you a portion at your table. The most famous Torontonian equivalent is Copacabana. We got there before they opened. They told us 6pm. We loafed around til then. We tried going back. They told us 7pm even though their door said 6. We opted to wait. Worth the wait. The standard rodizio here costs $13.90 euros and includes the basic meat package (12 meats + grilled pineapple) and both their hot and cold buffet. Drinks cost extra, but a small beer or juice will set you back about $1.80 euros, and a litre of their house wine will cost $9 euros. Be warned though. If you order in English, specify what you want, because their fresh squeezed orange juice is $3.50 euros a glass. It's tasty, but expensive. Their hot buffet only has like 8 items including rice, beans, fries, some kind of stew, and something that tastes like a mix between salt cod and mashed potatoes and some kind of cream pasta. Their salad bar is not bad, but not fantastic either. I appreciated the pickled veggie assortment though. Helps cut down on the fat from the red meat. OH THE RED MEAT. The menu said 12 kinds and lists them out. We got more than 12 kinds. Chicken drumsticks, chicken with bacon, chicken heart, pork chunk, roast pork, pork with cheese, sausage, rump steak, steak with garlic, tenderloin, beef with bacon and cheese, some other kind of steak I can't identify, ham, rump steak roast, etc. SO MUCH MEAT. Most of it was pretty tasty, albeit a tad salty. Surprisingly, the chicken dishes stand out as being juicy and piping hot and tender. Also the beef with bacon and cheese, and the tenderloin. THEN GRILLED PINEAPPLE. With cinnamon. So good. So sweet. Amazing with the meat, especially with the beef, bacon, and cheese. I think my dad ate a whole pineapple on his own. The servers were fantastic about it though. Very lovely service. Side note that isn't rodizio: They have a la carte seafood and meat options. Mom and aunt got seabream for $12.90 euros ish. Whole seabream. Nothing else. Delicious. Slightly salty. The rest of us got rodizio and they let mom and aunt have some of our food. As in we asked and they said yes. Pineapple goes well with fish too. If I lived in Portugal, I could see myself coming back fairly often. Best ayce experience I've had in a very long time.

Service can bog down during high tourist season (June through September) but Portugal takes life in small bites - in other words everything slows down. You can spend three or more hours here eating and drinking -- in keeping with cultural norms. Top tip: You can wander the neighborhood and see what others are eating.. The Bishops Square neighborhood lends itself to a look see before committing. We choose this way during slower months. Might want a reserve during high season.
