I would call it more a «TAPAS» place (snacks). Good place to relax with a glass of wine (take a white young wine (vinho verde) or strong sweet Porto, which is good for chilly evenings. And accompany the dring with traditional portuguese starters (tapas). I recommend to try the octopus salad, fried small peppers (not chilly), melted camamber with nuts and honey, or fried cuttlefish (lullinhas); or you can try «hamon» which will be cutted right in front of you. If you order «chourico» (local sausages), it will be fried in front of you on the special plate. Atmosphere is fantastic, live music nights, good location.(naer river side, parking is near).

If you like Japanese food, dont miss the chance to try many different rolls and sushi, in unlimited amount, but for fixed price. Its a sushi buffet, pay fixed price (12-15 euros per person) and eat as much as you want. Small nice restaurante in the center of old town. So, you can have a nice walk after a lunc/dinner in the restaurante.

Extraordinary place! The owner is the talanted young chef ! His food is delicious, the interesting combination of herbs, spices, see food. The place by itself is really worth to see: the secret garden right inside the bar, with big tree in the middle of the bar, hand made decorations in indian style, ancient fotos, collection of cups and pots. Amazing, artistic bar! Live music show every Sunday. I recommend to try a chocolate browny as a sweet thing.
