Service was excellent. Small restaurant where you can enjoy a full meal or a tea or coffee with a pastry or muffin or a small savoury treat like a croquette. Sit outside to enjoy beautiful views of the river and surrounding hills.

Though we had to wait for the meal for quite a long time (about 40 minutes!) it was totally worth it. The "Bacalhau com molho de camarão" (codfish with shrimp sauce) was very good.
