What to expect

The restaurant connects a meal with the fishing-beach side of Albufeira, rather than the marina or the Strip. Fish, shellfish and meat appear in its own menu information. It is a place to consider for a sit-down meal during an Old Town visit, with the particular dining space forming part of the plan.

The terrace entrance is on Rua da Bateria, while the main location is beside Cais Herculano. Ask which dining area is being reserved so that everyone arrives at the same entrance. A table above the beach and a beach-side meal have different approaches.
