a month agoÉ daqueles sítios onde apetece voltar. Tem um espaço ao ar livre muito agradável, perfeito para uma refeição tranquila. Os grelhados são muito bem feitos, nota-se a qualidade e a frescura dos produtos, e tudo é servido de forma simples mas saborosa. O melhor de tudo é que os preços continuam bastante acessíveis para a qualidade que oferecem. Boa comida, bom ambiente e excelente relação qualidade-preço.
