We’re so excited to share the news that our restaurant is back serving evening meals again from today!

And we’re doing things a little differently... introducing authentic Portuguese-inspired dishes - from traditional petiscos to comforting mains and indulgent desserts.

We can't wait to see the restaurant come alive again.

Served Monday to Saturday from 6pm-10pm.

This bar has been here since the 14th century. Medieval locals would have stood in the same place, sharing a drink and telling stories. No phones. No distractions. Just candlelight and conversation.

It still blows our minds to think about.
