Está localizada num conjunto habitacional situado por trás das agências bancárias da avenida principal, mas tem bons acessos e estacionamento automóvel gratuito no exterior.O interior é muito agradável, o balcão é grande, faz um "s" e os doces estão separados dos pães.Os preços são normais, (café 0,65â¬, meia de leite 0,90⬠e um bolo com amêndoas 0,80â¬). O pagamento é ao balcão, com um cartão que vem para a nossa mesa.Achei curioso que metade dos clientes presentes eram espanhóis, o que mostra que vale a pena atravessar a fronteira para vir aqui.Comercializam o café Sical.Recomendo.

Beautiful restaurant, friendly attentive service. The menu is extensive and written in both Portuguese and English which was very helpful.Our lunch was absolutely excellent and plentiful. They barbecue the fish and meat to perfection. The wine menu was very comprehensive.All in all it was one of the highlights of the culinary feast that was Portugal.

This restaurant is hidden away behind the main road out of Valença but it is well worth a visit. The place gets VERY busy at Sunday lunchtimes so phone ahead and reserve a table. We had Costeletas (ribs) and they were mouth-watering. You just go for it and eat them with you hands!! The place also does really succulent roast chicken and the Bacalhãu is justly famous! The staff are quick and helpful and the place has a real family vibe. If you have kids then bring them in as (unlike many English restaurants) they are more than welcome here! They have a good wine list at a variety of prices but we just had beer and you know what, that´s fine! The price was amazingly low and the amount of food would have fed a small army!! Visit this place!!

We had a wonderful lunch in this lovely restaurant, the staff were very friendly and helpful even though we don't speak Portuguese and I don't eat meat. They made a colourful and interesting salad for my main course and my husband ate the fried Cod, we also drank a good local wine. Great value for money and a pleasant location.

Food was great, but beware - they get quite crowded during lunch hour, from about 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm, and many people left due to the long wait (remember, this is Europe, people take their time over their meals). Was seated at a dirty table, waited 20 minutes for the table to be cleared and for menus. But once we got past that, the food was good, nice wines as well.

I stoped on the way to santiago in Valença. We left the inn for dinner on a day when to my surprise the restaurants were closed. we found this and went inside to eat something simple. We chose roasted chicken with fries. It felt like the chicken had not been roasted at the time. was warmed to be served. the potatoes were not crispy. The employee who served us was friendly, diligent and professional.

We had the pleasure and privilege to dine in this restaurant on an evening of Fado. We loved every minute, not only the wonderful food but Miguel the singer and his 2 guitaristas. Listening to Fado in such beautiful surroundings, even though we didn't understand Portuguese, we were totally entranced by the whole evening. The staff were excellent, and the food was some of the best and most interesting that we have experienced for some time. Not only that it was very reasonably priced at 25 Euros for the evening. An event not to be missed if you get the chance!

We took our evening meal at Fortaleza and it was a good choice. The ensalada mixta was fresh and flavorful with local tomatoes and onions. While the melon with ham was one of the juiciest and tastiest entrees I have ever enjoyed, the calamari romano reached our table dry, bland, and unimaginably presented. It was clearly sitting around the kitchen for a long time before reaching our table. The staff was very professional and responsive to our needs. Overall, it was a good meal--a five star dinner if we had freshly cooked calamari.

Stopped here on a day trip from Galicia to Portugal on a rainy Sunday having read great reviews on Tripadviser. Stood there for 5 minutes without the guy behind the bar paying any attention to us at all. The place was almost empty so it was not like he was busy with other customers. We decided to take our money elsewhere. Glad he does not work in my business....I am sad for receiving my first horribel rating, if you even try our service, but would be more sad if you gives us a horribel about Our food, because until today, its never happened. I hope that someday you will come for another visit to change your opinion.Thanks
