in the last weekTombés par hazar sur ce merveilleux petit restaurant Portugais, nous y sommes retournés le lendemain ! Merci à Amilcar pour son professionnalisme, sa gentillesse et sa patience, ainsi aux personnes des cuisines, tout était excellent ! Daurade, sardines, maqueraux et encore viande "maminha de vitela", jusqu'aux desserts faits maison et locaux. Un lieu à l'écart du centre touristique, fréquenté par les locaux, que nous conseillerons sans aucun doute ! Obrigada por tudo
