Small and simple place, the owners made us feel very welcome, and the Cabo Verde traditional Cachupa is absolutely delicious. It was just like Sunday lunch at Gramma house.

If you're looking for an authentic piece of Portugal/Cabo Verde then this is your place, down to the picture of Cesaria on the wall and football on the screen. Food like you'd get at your neighbour's place if they came from there. Sweetest owner.

Went there middle of the afternoon for late lunch. Kitchen was open and service was super nice. Quality-price ratio is very good. It's a lot of food too! Will go there again.
