"Passing through on the Motorbikes and popped in for dinner the special pork and rice was to die for. I asked the chef would she marry me and come back to Ireland if I divorced my wife but she very diplomatically declined.All joking aside it was brilliant."

"De passagem num dia de jogo do benfica vs maritimo, arriscamos a entrar e perguntar por mesa, prontamente nos foi indicada uma mesa mesmo com casa cheia, como verdadeiro benfiquista desfrutamos da nossa refeição perante o jogo, carne de porco a alentejana simplesmente 5 estrelas e bacalhau com broa, preços acessíveis a todos e talvez ate barato de mais para a qualidade que nos foi apresentada, so posso ficar satisfeito e feliz, 5 estrelas e força glorioso."
