Enjoy an authentic dining experience with this delicious homemade food, carefully prepared and full of flavor. The daily menu, 8€, is diverse and includes an exquisite soup, a generous main course, wine (green or red), and a delightful dessert. Fridays and Saturday’s best Francesinha in town. Best quality and value. The owner takes pride in his generous portions, fresh ingredients, and friendly service that makes you feel at home. The atmosphere is cozy, and the restaurant is impeccably clean. The restaurant is conveniently located just a one-minute walk from El Corte Inglés in Gaia. Visit on Monday to Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (closed on Sundays). Come and enjoy homemade food with the best flavor! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Uma ótima experiência, estas visitas não se resumem só a isto de experiências mas sim uma satisfação, a vista envolvente para a emblemática praia de espinho é apenas um dos muitos pontos positivos que este estabelecimento têm para oferecer. A enorme variedade de petiscos e bebidas a acompanhar são esplêndidas para um final de tarde bem passado, o atendimento fantástico a combinar com um sol escaldante de verão faz-nos perder a noção do tempo. Como cliente frequente mas de hábitos nunca explorei muito para além dos tremoços, caracois e príncipes. Neste simples pedido encontrei rigor, qualidade e proximidade com o cliente, tudo aquilo que estamos à procura num atendimento. Não me vou alongar mais neste comentário, apenas posso confirmar que este estabelecimento é realmente um símbolo em espinho e que deve ser visitado.
