Comida portuguesa com atendimento atencioso e rápido! Bacalhau dourado, sempre e frango assado!

Fuimos de celebración. En total 7 familiares, teníamos ganas de probar algunos arroces de la carta. El servicio fue excelente, las raciones muy muy abundantes y de buena calidad. Se puede aparcar sin problemas. El arroz caldoso de mariscos, brutal, el de pulpo aceptable ya que le añaden cilantro y no me gusta demasiado ese sabor. El precio muy ajustado. Lo peor, el ruido, pero de eso no tiene la culpa el restaurante, somos chillones.

Excellent food. We had "feijoada de polvo" which was yummy. Worth a visit.

We went for a family dinner counting 9 guests. The restaurant is a bit outside of Elvas on the main road, theres good parking available. We started with the octopus salad, clams, fresh cheese and olives. All fresh and delicious. Main courses were lamb, monkfish cataplana, dourada and steak. The lamb was so tender that it fell off the bone and melted in your mouth as you ate it, what a delight! The cataplana was tasty and well composed with monkfish, shrimps and clams in a wonderful savory broth. The steak was ok but nothing special, we recommend to eat local food to get those good experiences. The restaurant was busy and buzzing with life so we understand the long wait time after ordering the desserts. They didn't have many fresh main desserts left at this time so we went with some pre-made desserts that were just fine. All and all a good experience. We will return.

Restaurante tipico de arroces al que fuimos mi familia y yo a comer; si bien el arroz de marisco estaba ESPECTACULAR, el arroz de pulpo le sobraba bastante cilantro por avisar a quien no le guste demasiado está hierba. Las cantidades son ENORMES así que cuidado también cuando vayan a pedir, el arroz para 2 podría ser fácilmente para 4 jajajaja pero vamos ninguna queja con eso estaba TODO buenísimo, el trato fue amable y cordial y los precios son espectaculares. 10/10
