Almost luxurious environment for a imaginative cuisine

We advanced a few yards along this road, secondary, and we quickly find a home with certain grandeur where the neon will not let us deceive. It's right there. We went and parked in the ample parking. We walked to the ornate door covered by a roof-shaped pediment. We rang the bell and then a willing employee opens the door and kindly invites us to enter.


The environment is exquisite, even luxurious. Richly decorated room, where walls are exposed to various Impressionist paintings in which the female element is in evidence. In the back of the room, the fireplace that gave its name to the house, and the center is a huge round table framing. The tables in soft shades of dark yellow, contrasting nicely with the walls in shades of pink. Everything is fresh, very clean up. From the ceiling hangs a few lamps in the shape of chandeliers golden color. Perhaps an excessive refinement, but is not bad.
Washed the sights is time to move to action with the things that really matter, or dinner. To whet your appetite, if weather and hunger do not tighten, it is recommended a stint in the bar, where you take a drink, maybe a dry Port.
For dessert, depends on your taste, but about grout with honey or grape then easiest tart dried fruit may be an option to consider.

But the dining experience does not stop there. The manager Sergio Intercourse likes to innovate, and often conducts gastronomic weeks as the week of fish where the fish dishes are in evidence, or the week in Japan in which you can eat sushi.

Innovations of a house that despite his 55 years of existence, continues to monitor market trends, adapting to the more flexible manner. It is a policy that practices every day at lunch, for customers who like to eat well but do not intend to pay € 20 per meal. For this audience has created a gourmet menu for only € 9.5, with a potluck, but without compromise on quality.

The brigade staff is adequate room for 72 seats and the service is attentive and kind. Promptly, someone shows us a table available, in which we sit comfortably.

We begin by the inputs, where are the hot roll with butter and accompanied by no garlic in addition to cheese, olives, fluffy crepes and samosas with soy sauce. Then, looking for long letter is not difficult to see that more than a regional restaurant or Portuguese, there are several dishes that are the result of a creative cuisine.


We start with the lobster salad and shrimp, a dish light, delicious and very well presented. The following is a fish soup, and hot clams and a slight tang of herbs. It's worth trying. Finally, he concludes with a tender tournedos of beef to the head.
