Bons produtos! O atendimento é bastante lento, mas compreensível pois só está uma pessoa a trabalhar. Vale a pena esperar! Recomendo as broas de batata doce, tigelada e ferradura.

Excelente, amei a carne, a batata frita com casca, o vinho. De certeza que ei de voltar mais vezes, muito obrigada a toda equipe pelo atendimento espetacular

Sobre a pastelaria são muito saborosos, a massa é feita na hora, vai a mesa ainda quente, macia. A sandes mista vem com fartura de recheio, os cafés que pedimos e o sumo de laranja são feitos com muita qualidade de produto. O atendente parece o Giraya, atende balcão, tira pedidos, confecciona os produtos, assa os pães e organiza todo o local. Parabéns continue com esse brio. Pena não morar aqui perto, viria todos os dias.

Para Almoçar é preciso reservar. O espaço é giro. Entramos num café /mercearia. Depois vamos para os fundos. É aí onde podemos comer. Na reserva escolhemos o que queremos comer. Carne, carne maturada ou bacalhau. Nós escolhemos a carne. Que posso dizer... Magnífica? Estupenda? Simplesmente carne, sal e pimenta. Que espetáculo. As entradas, queijo fresco, presunto e pão, também muito bom. As batatas fritas com casca, magníficas. Os doces no fim também bons. Comida e bebida à vontade. Tão bom, não pode ser barato, mas vale a pena cada euro, e não é demasiado caro. Pagámos +- 18€ por cabeça.

Gostei imenso do local, bem simples e típico. Estivemos lá no pequeno almoço, uma bela sandes de presunto...um pão estaladiço e um presunto farto e delicioso . Os croissants também muito bons. Tudo tem bom aspecto, vamos voltar para levar umas empadas e tigeladas para Lisboa.
