Go really hungry. Our lunch came with fresh bread, garlic carrots and olives. Big bowl of chips. Excellent salad and the steak was mighty.. Choose your own cut.
Excellent food close to the airport. This is not a tourist trap. The restaurant is busy at lunchtime and in the evening. At lunch, mainly workers from the airport, the rent a car etc. In the evening, local families and friends. To start with, I recommend the thinly sliced Presunto, the Portuguese version of Jamon, very good and less well known. Check out the seafood display, great options there, especially with on tap vinho verde. Otherwise go to the menu where you will find excellent options of typical Portuguese food. The dessert cabinet is also worth studying!
Really nice traditional Portuguese food and very kind staff! I definitely recommend it. If you end up choosing the choco grelhado don’t forget to ask it without ink (‘cause I forgot)
Local atmosphere, local food, nice familiar places. Warmly recommended
