Beautiful setting inside an old fortress with incredible sunset views over the water. The service was friendly and attentive, and the red sangria was excellent. We enjoyed couvert with bread and olives, followed by the octopus and chorizo-crusted cod — both generous portions and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the Algarve!

Omg this was awesome! We arrived in town and walked by, they were able to give is a reservation for 8pm. The vibe was warm and lively, and the setting was amazing. The food was incredible. Such a great place for our first night in Luz ( piri piri chicken was excellent and the mushrooms risotto was long the best I have had)
