Casa Simão

We'll be upfront: this old-style, barn-
like eatery has harsh lighting and zero romance, but that's because the delightful family-
owners concentrate on down-to-earth fare - they whip up great-value meals such as
javali
estufado
(wild boar stew) and grills. Go for the daily specials.

tasty international dishes in a cosy, mosaic-filled, environment.
