Really good traditional Portuguese restaurant. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. We had the house specialty "Telha" which we must recommend as it has everything you want to try.

What a place! WHAT A PLACE. In the middle of nowhere, we found this restaurant. An ancient mill. The food is from another world. The owners, witch by the way are the ones that are cooking and serving, spend time with costumers. Explaining their history, if, off course you are in the mood. Be careful with the portions. They are huge.

Great restaurant to dine with friends and family. The owners are very friendly and serve you very well. Every dish is awsome but i allways ask for the "telha", that has several types of grilled meat, exotic Fruit, grilled vegetables.
