The food is amazing. The prawns are insane. Everything he prepares is mouth watering. A place everyone must visit. You are allowed to bring your own snacks and drinks to the restaurant as there is a bit of a wait. The wait is worth it . Amazing place Bruno you and your team keep up the amazing experience
Prego roll great, ribs delicious & tender, chips fresh and crispy! Great Portuguese food at a legendary local restaurant.
I lived in PE for two years.When friends and family came to visit, this was my favourite restaurant to take them to!The food is great (their ribs are the best!) and the atmosphere amazing.
Don't expect a normal sit down and be served restaurant. Rather!... bring your own drinks along and enjoy some of the best food in town at a fraction of the price it would be anywhere else.
Great food, nice staff. Their food - your alcohol, love that concept. So simple and so right to the point. Excellent ribs and t-bone steak.
Great atmosphere, friendly service and no time wasting on taking orders. Excellent food service from staff and owner himself.
Always a great meal and experience! What a bonus that you can bring your own drinks which makes it easier to spend money on more ribs which are no doubt the BEST in town
