We had our favorite Comporta dinner here! Ana was fantastic (but so was the entire staff) - she made us delicious martinis, took the time to celebrate our honeymoon, and provided great recommendations for our upcoming visit to Lisbon.

The food was delicious. Especially the mackerel, croquettes, and pork. Would definitely go back!

Very good food, lovely service with great wine recommendations. Most probably the best food so far in Comporta for us.

The food is cooked on point, very good ingredients are used and the combinations used on a single plate are excellent. The jus for the turbot was fantastic, similar to the spiciness on the Kale. Just the winelist is a little bit reduced - specially compared to some other venues in Comporta - but still fine and easy to find the right wine for the food!
