Se a sua prioridade é a comida e não a decoração, é este o sítio certo! Excelente atendimento onde quem manda é o cliente. Iscas grelhadas com alho, acompanhadas com batata cozida e verduras, ou batata frita caseira, sim... não há cá batata frita do McDonald's... Sobremesa, café, brandy 1920 e ainda um licor para que gosta, tudo por menos de 15eur/pessoa. Serviço de excelência por preço de amigo. Voltaremos para provar a feijoada. Obrigado.

Un lugar increíble. La comida súper abundante, el trato increíble. Muy muy bien de precio. La camarera que atendía en la barra y llevaba los pedidos take away es un encanto. Súper recomendable. Si algún día volvemos desde España, volveremos sin duda. Aunque no nos coja de paso. Muchas gracias por todo. Soy la persona que casi se ahoga comiendo y que ayudasteis tan amablemente. Sobre todo el pobre chico que casi no oosia conmigo. Un día para no olvidar
