Loved this place. While it doesn’t look appealing, surrounded by fancy places on all sides, it is as local as you can get in Lagos. We were amazed by the prices and the quantity of food. The paella was loaded with mussels, prawns and chicken. Even the sangria was really good. The owner was super nice and came to speak to us. Definitely recommended!

I can't understand the negative reviews. Maybe these people are used to the artificial kind of modern restaurants that serve untypical and non-regional food. This was by far one of the best paella I ever had (and I lived in South Spain for a while). Definitely it was the best in term of "quantity". Never have I seen a paella so loaded with shrimp, mussels, chicken, etc. Definitely not a tourist trap that serves 3/4 rice with a little bit of sea food. The quality was also really good! Service was also top level. We had a really nice conversation with the boss and even got tips for further evening activities. Definitely not rude! On the opposite it was quite lovely! These are real people with whom you can actually have a conversation. Unlike some tourist traps that only say hello and bye. If you're interest in real local food, you HAVE to give this a try.

Secondo me questo posto è molto tipico , i camerieri sono gentili e il cibo è delizioso soprattutto la paella e grigliata di pesce consigliata con il vino bianco ( perola ) ps siamo di Venezia e di Treviso (italia ) e di vino e di pesce ne capiamo.

A very small and old restaurant with authentic Portuguese dishes. The fried Bacalau (cod fish); Paella with lamb, chicken, clams, mussels, prawns and fish; as well the disk platter are all very delicious. Just be aware that the bread, fish smear and olives served while you wait is not free andwill cost you an extra 7,50 Euro

Run away! Tourist trap! The quality of the food is not the worst but the owner and the waiter treated us really bad and tried to lie!

We loved our traditional Portuguese dishes (especially that seafood soup!) and the guys who work here. Very family friendly. There’s a reason why they’ve been around since 1978.

Great food, Portuguese mood (just go with it). The staff seems to be in an eternal bad mood but I actually think it is funny rather than rude. Such a Portuguese cliche! We really enjoyed the food and I can't understand people saying the owner 'lied' about it. HE IS THE OWNER, of course he will tell you the food is great. And it actually is. Homecooked food, Portuguese for real!

Dunno if I’d come back again. A bit weird staff, asking personal questions, the food portion was small, the vegetables was old but the sword fish was good.

Un mot : fuiez ! Horrible , quelle honte !

Not a good site to eat. The owner lied to us, telling us that the food was good, but actually the food was mediocre and very expensive too!!

Never go there!!! Horrible service, worst staff ever. The sea food wasn't cleaned at all and half cooked, also the lamb chops was oily and bot cooked properly. Clearly turist trap.

Would have gotten a 2 star for food quality but the board lied and said "best payella in town" Everything was over cooked and the calamari didn't even taste like calamari. The garden salad was like some lettuce and 4 sliced of tomato. Way over priced for the quality of food. Don't even try this place

The badest culinaric experience we ever had in Portugal. The boss of the restaurant was very impolite and seemed to not like tourists. We had a tuna, dorade and fish plate. They were all with loveless vegetables and the tuna was roasted dust-dry. They ruined these lovely and easy incredients. Sad kitchen but still alive because of its central location.

vedo che le recensioni sono tutte pessime...un posto così dovrebbe chiudere o cambiare gestione. ci sono tanti posti a lagos .non andate li.grandissima maleducazione .siamo entrati li solo perché era l'unico posto ad avere tavoli liberi.(abbiamo capito dopo il motivo).comunque non abbiamo cenato ,ma siamo letteralmente scappati via. troppo scortesi e maleducati. comunque cucina a vista e da quello che ho notato,anche sporca. evitate!!!

Pessimo. Il cameriere(sicuramente il proprietario) maleducato e arrogante. Ci siamo alzati ancor prima di iniziare a mangiare

kann die schlechten Rezensionen nicht ganz nachvollziehen, wir fanden das Essen gut und auch auf jeden Fall frisch, konnten uns die Fische selbst aussuchen die für uns gegrillt wurden.

Bof bof, plus que médiocre, congelé et conserves garantis... attention au pain, olives et autres attrapes nigauds servis d'office et hors de prix : à éviter absolument !

Affreux ! Attrape touriste poisson congelé sortie du congélateur devant nous !!! A banir!!!
