some tasty appetizers include grilled octopus, cod and shrimp fritters, and shrimp and crab 'pastéis', which is plural for 'pastel', a deep fried savory pastry - pastas and risottos are popular favorites that include lobster, shrimp, octopus, and mussels, which can all also can be found alongside the squid and seared grouper, in the variety of moqueca dishes offered, which are hearty seafood stews.

menu prices are in-line with the high-quality and eco-friendly cuisine, which uses recycled oil, and provides generous portions and plenty of sides.
