What to expect

The menu offers seafood to share, cataplanas and rice dishes as well as individual mains. Razor-clam rice, monkfish rice and octopus cataplana illustrate the coastal focus; a separate children’s section provides simpler pasta, chicken and fish dishes.

The operator directs reservations by telephone. Ask about portions and availability when selecting shellfish or a sharing dish rather than assuming each listed item is an individual plate. Its position is at the western end of the seafront, away from the fishermen’s beach.

Planning your visit

  • Reserve directly by telephone.
  • Ask about sharing portions and seafood availability.
