Went for the music and enjoyed the food. They cook meat over a charcoal fire and the skewers were delicious with a side salad and lovely homemade olives.

If you want to hear traditional Portuguese music this is the place to come. They had Fado every evening, and although it is very different is none the less something to experience. The food here is also good, typical local specialities.
