What to Order
Seafood Rice for Two (Arroz de Marisco Para Dois)
This is a generous rice dish brimming with lobster, crab, clams, mussels, shrimp, and squid, all cooked in a flavorful tomato bouillabaisse.
"The seafood in it is generous and delicious. It's made to order (so takes a while to come out) but it's well worth the wait. You'll get your hands dirty, but so long as you're prepared for that you'll have a fantastic meal."
Nathan Green
Cataplana
A traditional Portuguese seafood stew, typically cooked and served in a distinctive copper clam-shaped pot, featuring a variety of fresh seafood.
"If you like seafood, the cataplana is a must try."

"I recommend grilled calamari, creme brulee, soup was excellent as well."

Creme Brulee
A classic dessert featuring a rich custard base topped with a contrasting layer of hardened caramelized sugar.
"From shrimp, and grilled chorizo appetizers to a bitoque main dish and creme brulee for dessert! Food was fantastic!"
