Definitely takes advantage of the location of the fort and is above average prices. The food is tasty, however.

We had lunch twice here. Beter than you would expect for a beach restaurant. Friendly service also helps it to make the whole lunch better (including Russian lessons :-)

The restaurant is located in the Ilha do Pessegueiro Beach and one can enjoy a thrilling view on the island right in front. Like most of the restaurants in the region (Sines-Porto Covo-Vila Nova de Mil Fontes) the assortment of fish and seafood is large and the quality spotless. My suggestion goes definitely to the monkfish "Cataplana" (a slow cooking process in a closed copper pan which prevents the loss of the ingredients’ aromas, ensuring full and excellent flavour).
Finally, the deserts - mainly inspired on the Algarve's most traditional recipes - cannot be missed! Fig tart is one of the specialties. The wine list is adequate despite not being great.
The service is friendly but not sophisticated and the dining room is large. It is recommended to book in advance.
Not a cheap restaurant but unquestionably worth the visit!

We ate here twice - once outside, and once in the restaurant. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food was very good. The restaurant had a real family-run feel to it, and was one of those places that you could visit for a special occasion or after a day on the beach without feeling uncomfortable. I can recommend the grilled sardines. I would certainly visit this restaurant again.

We have just returned from this restaurant for lunch. The 2 children had chicken and pork cutlets and loved them. My wife had a simple tomato salad due to feeling a bit average from a dodgy Squid meal from a restaurant in Porto Corvo yesterday. I had the grilled Sea Bass and it was truly the best simple fish meal I have ever had. It was perfectly cooked and was equally as fresh. The wait staff have obviously got a few issues with each other because there was a full on argument going on in the middle of the restaurant.. Was all in Portuguese, so we couldn't understand it, but was still entertaining!
Would definitely return here.
