We saw someone mention this place on FB a little while ago so we put it on our to visit list.
We didn't have anything booked last Sunday (we usually go somewhere 'nice' on a Sunday) so we gave it a shot.
Not a huge menu but big enough. Food is quite pricey, so good for a special meal. Situated right on the promenade, so excellent view of the sea (though overlooking the hotels' infinity pool - not a pretty sight).
Pretty sure it is Portuguese based fare (the Bacalao a la portugues is a bit of a giveaway). I had said cod dish and Jill had fillet steak (she wanted Beef Wellington but it was 'finished' - maybe another way of saying can't be bothered to do it).
It was a very hot afternoon and there was no breeze so we were wilting.
Service was a little slow but that doesn't bother us if we have something to drink.
Complementary bread roll with three 'dips' (alioli, chilli oil and mustard butter).
Jill usually has a couple of glasses of red wine and I sometimes have a white and a bottle of still water.
Now bearing in mind that the cheapest red wine was listed at €15 and white at €14, I was pleasantly surprised that the wine was only €2 per glass and was very drinkable (the water was €1.50). I was expecting it to be €4 to be honest.
The total bill was €68.50.
I wouldn't mind going again for a special meal.
