Lovely inspiring restaurant filled with Portugese decorations & art expressions. I loved the rabbit stew and vegetables, it was something the waiter recommended. A treat followed by Brides dessert. I am sure if my workplace was in that area, they would see me more often over lunch times.

We had a very pleasant visit. The food was good and the porsions were generous. The restaurant is clean and we received good service. We were happy when the bill came as it did not break the bank. It is appropriate to take your whole family or even a date.
