Absolutely sensational decor, food and ambience. We all had main courses and desserts and all the food was absolutely delicious. The lemon tart was absolutely humongous and the tiramisu was to die for. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.Google review · J.T. · verbatim | ||

Ask DOW on ChatGPTDOW ranks venues with a 100-point Hot Score, recalculated monthly from live Google data. Three signals, in this order: written review activity — text reviews over 50 characters in the last 90 days, the heaviest by some distance; the standing Google rating from 4.0 up; and Google Business Profile completeness — phone, website, opening hours, description, photos and categories. In Portugal and Spain, reviews written in the city's own language carry more weight than English ones. We don't publish the exact weightings: a formula you can compute backwards is one you can farm.
