“ This restaurant is hidden inside the Iberico mall across the street from the secondary school. It's cool inside in the summer and warm in the winter. The dishes are traditional and we'll prepared and the service is good. It has no windows, but the decor makes it comfortable and it has a special bruck oven for a variety of tasty pizzas too. ”
“ Good price/quality restaurant. Atmosphere is not amazing but it's good for the type of restaurant. ”
“ Broke off from the Camino de Santiago for a quick bite to eat on a Sunday afternoon. I expected it to be busy, and all tables were in fact reserved. No worries, we asked if take-away was an option, and after hesitation, he said yes. We asked for coffee as well and their response just made us feel like our presence being pilgrims was an inconvenience. Food was fine, but I would avoid if it’s a Sunday. I would happily adjust my review to be higher if service on this particular day was better. Hate feeling like a burden just because your business is busy, and you’d rather push us to the next restaurant kilometers away. ”
“ The food is very good. I recommend the codfish accompanied with a red mature wine. ”
“ Really good place, especially if you want to try typical Portuguese food! The codfish is amazing. The service is really good and the staff is kind and willing! ”
“ The food is great, but very disappointed with the table, just on the entrance of the restaurant that makes my guests cold and it's really uncomfortable with the door constantly open , especially on a rainy day like the one the we had. The food is really good but they could really improve their table service. ”
“ Amazing food, great prices and friendly staff. I was doing Caminho de Santiago and this restaurant is located on its way, you just go a little bit off the main track (I saw a scheme on the crossroads, you don’t have to do any extra walking). I had lunch here on 25th of April. It was full when I came, so I had to wait a little (but it’s fine, I’ve asked for a bottle of cold non-alco beer). I had half a dose of cabrito and it was great! Unfortunately, couldn’t finish it, the portion was generous :) highly recommended! ”
“ The food was good, staff was also efficient but I got cut in a broken glass and they had no band-aids. Also had to change my baby's diaper with him standing on the toilet as there wasn't a place to do it properly... there's room to improve! ”
