"I had heard from a local that there is a significant Portuguese population in the area, so I decided to look for a good restaurant. The exterior of this place may not be very inviting, resembling a run-down '70s pub. Once inside, the decor looked a bit worn out. However, the few tables that were occupied at 2pm on a Thursday were filled with regulars who warmly welcomed us. We tried to order the cataplana, but it wasn't available that day, so we opted for a meat mixed grill and a fish mixed grill, along with a couple of glasses of house red wine. I recommend bringing more people next time as the portions were generous. The meat mixed grill included flank steak, pork chop, bacon, chicken fillet, and chorizo, while the fish mixed grill had salmon fillets, sea bream, prawns, sea bass, and more. All served with rice, new potatoes, chips, and salad. Optional piri piri sauce was available, but beware, it's not for the faint-hearted. The wine was enjoyable, and the coffee was good too. We started with fresh bread, olives, and fish pate. The atmosphere truly felt like a local café in Portugal. The waitress was kind, helpful, and friendly, and the chef even came out to check if everything was satisfactory. More locals arrived and greeted us warmly. This place is like a Portuguese version of a British greasy spoon, but just like some greasy spoons, it delivers what it promises exceptionally well. I highly recommend it, just make sure to bring plenty of friends and come hungry."
