Decided on the smallest restaurant amongst 3 similarly well-reviewed Portuguese restaurants in the area and we were not disappointed. Everything we ordered turned out to be delicious:Ham croquette balls - one could actually taste the ham and not just a mouthful of mashed potato. Kale soup with chorizo - unassuming but simply yummy.Grilled sardines - came with slices of bread to soak up the oil and grilled peppers.

Everything we ordered turned out to be delicious:
Ham croquette balls - one could actually taste the ham and not just a mouthful of mashed potato.
Kale soup with chorizo - unassuming but simply yummy.
Grilled sardines - came with slices of bread to soak up the oil and grilled peppers. It was so nicely done with a crispy skin and moist flesh that even the skeptic was converted.
Roast pork - my favourite dish. The pork was really tender and flavourful. Unlike many places serving similar dishes, the skin was crunchy but not teeth-breaking hard. Just this dish alone was worth returning.
Seafood rice - a generous pot of rice with lots of seafood embedded inside, in addition to the half lobster and mussels on top of the rice. It was a shame we were so stuffed and couldn’t finish the dish.
The only let down was the desserts which were lacklustre compared with the other dishes. Also, we feel that the restaurant should offer ordinary water instead of charging for bottled water.
Special mention to the waitstaff who was particularly attentive and cheerful. Her reminder that we initially over-ordered was also much appreciated.
