The 3 of us had stopped to have a drink, we were so impressed with the menu we decided to order food too. We were not disappointed. I ordered a PFT and it was a knock out! One of the best I have ever tasted. Drinks were good, my daughter had a mango lemonade and she said it was fabulous. Service was welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend

Great food, a play room for the kids, friendly staff and a beautiful location! Perfect spot for breakfast or lunch, great selection of delicious food but the by the sea burger is quite possibly the best burger in Portugal! We loved it so much we came back the following day for another. Perfect for young kids as there is a lovely safe playroom in the back to keep them entertained, while you can enjoy delicious cocktails with a view of the ocean!

Ideal place for cocktails, great selection with lovely staff who really make you feel welcome. We stopped in for a drink and had our kids with us, the staff, especially the waitress was extremely welcoming, and even put lights on their smoothies for them. Couldn't recommend more.

We had a really good breakfast here. We shared the Royal Brunch which was a feast for the senses! Food was fresh and tasty. Coffee was okay, not the best nor the worst. Our waiter so very attentive and friendly! Best part for us, as a family with 2 small kids, was the kids' play area at the back of the premises.. nice touch to occupy the kids whilst the adults ate
