Menu

Welcome to our home!

The foundations were made by our grandfathers

and the house kept being built by the Portuguese cuisine tradition and

the family recipes that passed down through generations.

The menu was specially made by the founders, our parents, João Carlos and Maria Teresa.

We serve homemade dishes with locally sourced ingredients inspired by the traditional Portuguese cuisine since 1996.

Please feel at home and enjoy.
