"The owner is a bit grumpy (rightfully so..I do t speak any Portuguese..he probably speaks several languages), but outstanding food….I will come here again, even if just passing through!"
Victor Siebeneck
"We were looking for restaurant to have lunch and it was the rush hour. The choice of this restaurant was because it seemed clean. The service was a bit slow, but during rush hour it is not easy to find availible options in Fatima. We only ordered the main dishes and water. The foods tasted regular. In the end, it was enough for us and we crossed the street to enjoy the desserts."

"One of the worst dining experiences our family has ever had. We were six people, and everyone agreed: the food was incredibly bad, the prices were outrageously high, and the overall quality was unacceptable. The lowest score available is 1 star — if I could give 0, I would. Definitely not recommended."
