What to expect

The dining room and terrace on the cobbled street give it a village setting rather than a beach-club atmosphere. Its menu themes are useful if you want to combine a fish dish with other Portuguese choices, accompanied by regional wines.

The restaurant’s own advertising page directs bookings by telephone. Ask about the portion size and preparation of a cataplana or rice dish when arranging a meal for two or a larger group. Use Travessa do Caldeirão to find the venue rather than relying on a general village-square location.

Planning your visit

  • Call directly for a table.
  • Ask about portions for cataplanas and rice dishes.
