Great little spot right on the seafront in beautiful Sesimbra. Extensive menu specialising in sea food at surprisingly good prices given the location. Staff are friendly and efficient with food being served in good time. Lovely place to watch the sunset. Will be back to try Dinner on next visit.

Had this place recommended, and was not disappointed. Swordfish cooked to perfection, simple but tasty salad and gorgeous potatoes. My friend had sardines which were plentiful. Carafe of house white, 25€. Amazing value, with friendly customer service.

Wonderful view. Cool music. Expensive prices. Quality is outstanding. The lady that served us was not very nice.
Housewine was really nice. The Fish was excellent. The squid was grilled instead of fried but so be it.
Prices are high as compared to other places around so don't be shocked. Its a decent value for money and a memorable experience altogethet.

Cuttler fish fried with salad was good, but the chunks were cut far too big to be especially delicious. Inside there's a great local atmosphere but outside you're sitting tight next to each other on benches and theres disturbing ventilator noise.
Waiter's were really nice and service was super fast!

Definitely worth a visit here - the locals were queuing on our first night so our party of 10 thought it would be worth a punt. And we weren't disappointed. The staff were incredibly helpful and recommended a selection of shellfood dishes and some grilled prawns to die for! The food was delicious. We all had great fun cracking open the lobster and crab claws (with helpful instruction from the staff) and the wine was very reasonably priced. Don't be put off by the restaurant itself - it is small but functional & traditional. We loved it here!

Probably the best fish restaurant in Sesimbra, a couple of Km from the centre of the village on the way to the port keys.
You choose your fish directly as you walk in, the rest are accessories which help savour the delightful fish. Reasonable Deserts and good wine, the local jug is "Ermelinda" and perfectly acceptable both in quality and price. Easy to walk to and back.

Lovely food , I think the best we had in Seisimbra and I' m only sorry that we did' nt get to eat there more often. It is situated across from the beach not far from the Seisimbra hotel and spa beside a small bar and some shops. It is well worth seeking out for the food alone and the family are so nice and welcoming. Although they have a lovely sea view, inside the restaurant is really nice as well..... Also unbelievable value for money!

If you like suckling pig this is the place to go,its opens at 19:00 and you better be there,it takes no Reservations and by 20:00 the place is full,great price they have a wine called Castiço that goes well with the pig.
And you must try the homemade desserts,they are great.
Its a well oiled family restaurant.
