But the tour the force is actually the food. Every plate we saw served had great presentation and looked very tasteful. We had for main course the typical "caldeirada à pescador" (traditional fish stew) which was delicious. Very good and original entrees.

Price is well adjusted, paid 67€ for 3 people.
All in all a great display of Portuguese food at a great location and with professional and attentive service.
