Stopped here for coffee and ended up staying longer than planned. The espresso was solid, and sitting outside across from the church made it feel slower, in a good way. Not a fancy place, just a decent spot to chill for a bit. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Lots of pastries to choose from, though I only grabbed a few sweets. Prices felt fair and the staff were nice. Place had decent seating too.

The grilled fish and octopus salad were really good. Place was packed with locals, so we waited a bit for a table. Staff knew the menu well and helped us pick.

Good was delicious. We ordered the two entrees the waiter suggested, steak and seared tuna. Both were delicious. Highly recommend having reservations.

The homemade dessert was the star, honestly. So creamy and rich but not overly sweet, which I loved. We came with a few friends and ended up sharing bites of everything. The fish was cooked well too, nothing crazy but solid. Service was friendly enough. Would come back just for that dessert again. 😊

The wine pairing here is really worth it&mdash;they pour some local varieties you don&rsquo;t see everywhere. Food was tasty, staff friendly. Just wish they&rsquo;d slow down between courses, felt a bit rushed.

The steak sandwich and tomato soup were spot on&mdash;flavorful and cheap. Just note the kitchen closes early, so get there in time if you want food.

The food was solid, nothing fancy but tasty enough. Portions are decent for what you pay, which I always appreciate. Sat on the terrace, it&#39;s right by a quiet park so the vibe is chill. Not the cheapest spot in the area but you&#39;re paying for the location too. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the neighborhood and want a relaxed meal without breaking the bank.

Showed up early since they don&#39;t take phone reservations. Got a table fast. The hot stone steak is a DIY thing &mdash; order it raw if you wanna cook it yourself. Kinda fun, kinda messy. Staff was nice about it. Solid quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

Food was solid, but that tablet ordering thing kinda kills the vibe. Felt a bit cold, you know? Garden area is nice though. Portions are huge, definitely not for small appetites. Service was friendly enough when they actually came by. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area and craving a big meal.

Dropped by for a casual dinner with a small group. Local dishes were solid, and the house red surprised me. Easy parking out back. Service was quick enough.

Barnacles were a first for me &mdash; fun to try, garlic bread was the real winner though. They&#39;ve got all kinds of weird sea creatures on display, some still alive in the tank. Kinda cool to look at while you eat. Place felt a bit touristy but whatever. Worth it for the experience.

Panzerotti was solid &mdash; big, hot, and only &euro;5. Picked my own fillings, tons of options which was cool. Dough was nice and crispy, cheese pulled everywhere. Maybe a bit greasy by the end but honestly for that price I&rsquo;m not complaining. Would grab one again if I&rsquo;m around.

A bit of a walk from the center, but the food made it worth it. The owner and her son were really kind, and spoke Portuguese with us. Simple dishes, fresh ingredients. Pretty good meal.

Big portions, that&rsquo;s for sure. Food was tasty too, nothing fancy but solid. Music was loud enough to give the place some energy, not annoying. If you&rsquo;re hungry and don&rsquo;t mind a bit of noise, it does the job. I&rsquo;d go back if I&rsquo;m in the area.

The owner really knows his gelato&mdash;he even made a negroni flavor for a local cocktail week. Super friendly and happy to chat about the process. Great spot to hang with friends. 🍦

Lunch special was a solid deal with wine and coffee thrown in. The beef had that grassy, grass-fed taste though &mdash; took me a minute to get used to it.

The seafood rice for two was honestly enough for three of us. Portions are generous, no doubt about that. Menu has plenty to pick from too. Service was friendly, just had to wait a while for the food to come out. Sat near the window, chairs were comfortable enough to just relax and not rush. Fine spot if you&#39;re not in a hurry.

Cozy spot, seafood was fresh and the staff actually seemed happy we were there. Cheesecake for dessert hit the spot too.

The Francesinha hit the spot&mdash;loaded with meat and that thick sauce. A solid lunch pick, though the kitchen shutting at 3pm caught me off guard. A cold beer alongside made it work. 🍺

Came for the pizza, stayed for the pizza. Crust was chewy, sauce tasted fresh, not too sweet. Place is bare bones, but honestly that&rsquo;s fine with me. Service was fast, no fuss. Prices felt fair for what you get. I&rsquo;d go back just for that margherita.

Stopped by for lunch on a busy day. Seafood was fresh, no complaints there. Had the mussels and the garlic bread on the side &mdash; solid choice. Portions are generous, almost too much for one person. Place was packed, so service was a bit slow, but nothing crazy. Fair for the price.

Outdoor seating was nice, food pretty good. Octopus and tuna were solid, though the limpets didn&#39;t do it for me. Portions are big, so sharing works well. Service was fine, nothing special.

Great burgers and that local cheese plate was tasty. Service was a bit slow, but the spot is super central.

The tasting menu was really good, especially the miso cod&mdash;so flavorful. Portions are on the smaller side though, so come hungry if you&#39;re sharing with friends. Nice spot for a catch-up dinner. 😊

Cozy atmosphere and very attentive and friendly staff. The menu is varied, as is the wine cellar, and full of good options. The meals were very well presented and prepared. We really enjoyed it and will do it again!

Great experience at Fuji sushi. It&rsquo;s away from the touristy areas. Food was good but having been to sushi places around the world it&rsquo;s not quite there. Although the  fish used were fresh but the sushi rice could improve. Staff were very attentive. The place was nice and intimate. I would come back and try their a la carte menu since I had the omakase.

Stopped by for lunch and honestly the tortillas taste like they&rsquo;re actually made in-house, not the store-bought kind. Got the salsa too, decent kick. Owner was friendly, didn&rsquo;t rush me. Margarita was solid, maybe a bit strong but no complaints. Place is a little out of the way but I&rsquo;d come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

The grilled squid was pretty good &mdash; nice char on it, still tender. The white bean and prawn stew had a decent amount of flavour too. Solid enough spot if you&#39;re into seafood. Mine came out a bit slower than expected, but the food made up for it.

Buffet lunch here &mdash; plenty of options, soup, meat, fish, salad. Desserts leaned too creamy for me, but the oceanfront view kinda makes up for it. Sat there longer than planned just watching the water. Fine spot if you&#39;re not in a rush.
