Bar Estrela

Waht can i say about this place - it's fantastic!

You can either eat up stairs in the restraunt or down in the cafe. Either way its vibrant and authentic - a true taste of portugal!

In the summer you can sit and watch the world go by on the pavement - which is a nice way to spend an evening!

The food is basic fare - but very well cooked. THis makes it really good! On top of that it all comes at an unbeleivable price.

We ordered four plates of tapas (including a broad bean and pork cassserole that was fantastic - along the lines of a cassoulet), had a bottle of wine, desert, and a whiskey and port (100ml, 10 year old, top quality). The whole thing came to £45!

I would strongly suggest that you check this laid back little piece of Portugal out. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, one last thing.. go for the egg white desert - it's truly stunning!
