What to expect

Stone walls and wooden beams frame a menu connected with the local coast. Beyond grilled fish, examples include cockle xerém, razor-clam soup and bean stew with whelks. The setting belongs to the old riverside quarter.

Choose a regional dish or discuss the available fish with the restaurant before ordering. The town location works for a meal during a visit to old Portimão. Use Largo da Barca rather than a Praia da Rocha beach address when planning your arrival.

Planning your visit

  • Located at Largo da Barca in Portimão town.
  • Ask which regional dishes and fish are available.
