Really friendly owner and great food. We had the bolo de caco, grilled chicken and grilled tuna; the portions were big and super tasty. Lovely view from the terrace as well.

Food was ok, nothing too fancy. The tuna was cooked well but the side vegetables were tasteless, and I'm not a picky eater. If you're hungry and in the area, give it a go
