4 weeks agoWe went using Google, and it didn't disappoint. Centrally located with air conditioning (important!), and attentive waiters (we understood each other). We ordered a starter of delicious broken eggs, a generous portion. Then we had grilled cod and Portuguese-style beef, beautifully presented and even better tasting... well worth it.
