I have not seen the interior of this restaurant, but the terrasse is beautiful. The service is quick and friendly. The menu is a mix of pizzas and french style dishes. For starters, we had the garlic bread which is freshly made pillowy rolls of bread/pizza with a delicious aioli sauce. I also wanted to try the fresh foie gras and it was amazing. Perfectly cooked with a flavorful reduction. It's not easy to find fresh foie gras and this one was perfectly well executed. This starter really made my day. For mains, we had the duck breast and a pizza. The duck breast was very good, maybe a little too cooked, but still moist and tasty. The pizza was good but nothing exceptional. For dessert, I tried the crèpe flambée with beirão licor. It's pretty went it arrives (the flambée part), but even if the crèpe itself was well done. It was not very tasty and I was convinced by the licor de beirão. Overall the price was reasonable. Not everything was perfect, but some of the dishes were really delicious.

I had their name sake pizza, and it was worth every cent. The staff were very welcoming on arrival, facilities, and seating area immaculate. If I'm ever in the area again, I will return

Though I find restaurant food to be generally too salty for me, I really enjoyed the dishes from here. The decor is calming and elegant, and the servers are amazing. The young couple who own it work front of house (Joana) and kitchen (Chef David); the yummy cuisine is French-inspired.Check out my video - https://youtu.be/EYtnHbCjGXk

There is not a better, more pleasant restaurant to eat in than this. Joanne and her staff are excellent. David’s cooking is amazing. We’ve been in Cela a week and have eaten here three times. Looking forward to our next visit!!!

Our first visit was a very spontaneous idea because we had our hotel very close.And it was definitely worth it because we were blown away! First thing was a very warm welcome and competent service from the owner herself. Then this incredible food - we had to book a table for the evening immediately two days later because it was so delicious. A great french cuisine touch because the chef is from Belgium and you feel the love for local/regional products. Last words: Great staff, amazing food from the heart and lovely restaurant (the interior design is very thoughtful and you feel home immediately).Go there and try it! :-)
