Delicious food!!! Such great quality for such a great price! Daily specials include a soup. House wine is awesome (we tried red), and the desserts are amazing (especially the tiramisu-like coffee mouse).

Depois de uma caminhada valente, talvez uns 20 kms pela Via Algarviana. Soube-me tão bem comer uma bifana como deve ser acompanhado de 3 minis. A sede era tanta!! Staff muito simpático e pronto a ajudar. Gostei e voltarei. Recomendo vivamente!! É um lugar de paragem obrigatória para os caminhantes da GR 13 (Via Algarviana), pois ela passa ali tão perto.
