With its three floors and a lovely exterior terrace, this wonderfully decorative and atmospheric restaurant is ideal for large numbers of visitors, and there's a special group menu available that showcases the best of what the kitchen has to offer. The cosy rustic-chic interior with its chunky wooden tables and vaulted ceiling is festooned with black and white photographs of writers, musicians and Hollywood's finest. Traditional Portuguese gastronomy has a starring role here, with dishes like grilled bream sprinkled with aromatic herbs, and tuna steak in ginger taking the lead. Support acts include an array of fresh crunchy salads, various pasta plates and mouth-watering desserts – try the lemon sorbet with vodka! On warm summer nights tables are set under a beautiful courtyard embroidered with twisting vines and illuminated by spotlight.
