The food was incredible. Our appetiser was grilled octopus which was cooked to perfection. It had benn flown in the same day and was so fresh As we couldn’t decide what to have for our second course we picked both tuna and grouper which the chef put together on one plate so we could share. It was the best ever. Our dinner was complemented with a bottle of Vinho Verde. We enjoyed our evening immensely The staff were wonderful checking in us all the time making sure everything was to our liking We will definitely make it our go to Portuguese restaurant
