    Great service & food off the beaten track.

    Good selection of fresh & local dishes in a friendly atmosphere. Rabbit octopus lamb and fresh fish all tried and everyone pleased. Wine excellent. Various puddings which were as good as they looked.

    Traditional Portuguese restaurant

    Very traditional homemade food in a wonderful old building. The owner was lovely, we received great service. Unfortunately the restaurant was very quiet the night we visited and so atmosphere was limited but we still had a great meal.

    I agree. Staff will probably do whatever they can to accommodate. I'd say it is a pretty safe bet.
