This is a Portuguese 'tapas' place, cafe style.

Be warned, there portions for their starters can be very large. We are more used to the sorry excuses for tapas sold by La Tasca and such like, so we ended up over ordering by a long way. Normally 5 dishes would be easy for us, but not at this place.

We ordered the following

Octopus Salad - nice
Squid rings - big and lots
'Parma' ham and melon - lots, but this one we took away
Beef and chips - it was like a large rump steak had been cut into chunks with chips and gravy
Belly pork - very tasty smokey grilled meat
plus there was a bowl full of black and green olives and bread

Yup, very much defeated. We should have cut back by two dishes and definitely one of the meat ones.

We had a refreshing Vinho Verde as well. It all came to £48 including a tip, but we could have taken off about £18 and still would have been full.
