We only stopped for coffee. Americano with milk which was a great strong one so will be going back again. Didn't try food but it looked good. Guy who served us spoke perfect English and helped us with directions to supermarket

We stopped to have some drinks after being approached by one of the waiters. The beer was good and reasonably priced. We decided to eat and chose chicken club sandwiches, this was a good choice. Very fresh and were served with a small portion of fries. The bill , including the tip, was €35. I would definitely eat here again.

Amazing food amazing value. Wish we had discovered this little gem earlier in our holiday. Had 2 mains 4 drinks a dessert and a cocktail and only came to 33.50 euros Amazing value and food was so delicious. We just came for drinks and thought let’s try the food it’s a good price. We weren’t expecting anything amazing but boy was i wrong. Some of the best I’ve had in Albufeira. Try the Francesinha it’s out of this world.
