“ Wow. We'd been travelling through Spain for a week looking for a decent fish restaurant, and turns out we had to come to Portugal to find it. The place is gorgeous, the service was exceptional from both the front of house and chef, and the food was out of this world. Hands down the best seabass I've ever had and my partners Gambas was unreal. On top of that they had an amazing suggestion for a mozzarella salad starter All that while looking out on the bay. Amazing. ”
“ Great restaurant on the beach. The food was some of the best quality food I've had, dessert and starters were definitely my favourites, seafood was super fresh. The owner/chef also come to check in on the customers and ask about the food which was a nice touch. Definitely feels like a little gourmet restaurant, highly recommend ”
“ OMG!!! Let start by saying that this was the best food we've had in portugal this far. See bass and green wine is a must. Even the chef came to introduce himself which made us feel so special. I would absolutely recommend this place with the most beautiful view while you're basking in the sun on the beach. If I would give it a 10 star I would. Must visit. ”
“ A beautiful restaurant in Caminha beach! The views are awesome and the food espectacular. We ordered the steak angus and chips and it was divine, along with the oysters and shrimp s. A must if you are in this area of Portugal. ”
“ A really lovely spot for lunch. We travelled all the way from Barbeita, mainly to head to the beach, but this restaurant was why we chose this beach. The food was really good, we had the cod and the octopus - some of the freshest seafood we’ve ever eaten. Then the view is just gorgeous as well! The staff were also really lovely, and our waitress was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Would definitely go again. ”
“ Innovative and delicious cuisine. Fabulous mussels! Amazing Tuna Tataki. Gorgeous presentations, great wine. Professional service. A fantastic, leisurely lunch, above the gorgeous beach, views of the Minho River & across to Spain. ”
