What to expect

The restaurant occupies a converted former barn, decorated with old local photographs and objects connected with farming and shellfish gathering. House choices include monkfish rice, stuffed squid, grilled cod and fish from the grill. Mussels, limpets and percebes are also described by the operator, connecting the menu with the surrounding coast.

The address is Rua Ribeira do Poço 11 in the town, not one of its outlying beaches. The operator’s contact page says it does not take reservations, so contact it for the visit arrangements rather than relying on an online booking intermediary. Ask which shellfish and fish are available when deciding on your meal.
