O melhor café de viana. Num ambiente rural, uma esplanada maravilhosa... os petiscos e comida excelente. O ambiente maravilhoso é movimentado. Funcionários muito atenciosos, simpáticos e eficientes. Recomendo

Raquel Pires 30 Oct 2025

Maravilhoso! As moelas e costelinha estavam perfeitas... O atendimento simpático e eficiente. Preço justo. Adoramos, uma agradável surpresa. Recomendamos !

José Passos 26 Oct 2025

Para além dos "viciantes" petiscos, que se podem degustar a qualquer hora, comi e "chorei por mais" com o prato de Bacalhau. Para além da excelente qualidade das postas de fora-a-fora do nosso "fiel amigo", todos os ingredientes e a forma de os confecionar são dignos de um master chef. O Sr. Roberto, modestamente, diz que não é cozinheiro. Imaginem se fosse...
