From humble origins selling codfish fritters from a beachside stand in 2008, the ‘Tuga’ (Portuguese guy) has built this wonderful family-run restaurant near Praia dos Anjos. Superfresh ingredients are incorporated into Portuguese classics, from seafood stews to custard tarts, served alongside local specialties like peixe com banana (grilled fish with bananas) and superb pork ribs with homemade barbecue sauce.
