Restaurant Jano
We didn't feel like waiting in line at a neighbouring restaurant, so we picked this restaurant right next door.
It was after the lunch rush. As soon as we walked it, an employee loudly complained about it never ending. I found it quite rude and shocking but said nothing in the hopes he wasn't referring to more customers arriving. I did check the restaurant's opening hours online just in case they were closed from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., but it said they were open. I even asked an employee if they were open to be extra sure. I hope we weren't intruding. If we were, they could have just pretended they were closed.
The restaurant was almost empty save for a table of customers and 4 employees. An employee seated us right away,... next to a container that was catching water from the dripping air conditioner. An odd choice considering that all the other tables were free.
After a few minutes, the employee from the beginning came to take our order. He and 2 other employees brought the entrées, main meal, drinks and dessert. The wait staff checked in and made sure we had everything we needed.
The chicken was crispy and perfectly seasoned on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. It paired perfectly with the soft bread from the table basket.
I couldn't get enough of the thick, crispy-and-soft homemade potato chips with skins on the edges (portuguese potatoes). They're addictive.
The pastel de nata (egg tart) was rich and flaky, and fresh custard oozed out with every bite. The flan was okay, but we were expecting a fully intact wedge like in the picture, and instead it looked as though someone had taken a big bite out of the tip. The kitchen should consider cutting it in a different shape.
The decor, music and nature scenes were calming.
I think we just caught the staff on an off moment.

When I took the lids off some products several weeks after buying them, I realized that not one, but several of them had already been opened and were no longer fresh. By then it was too late to return them, and it would have been difficult to prove that I wasn't the one who opened them. If the store doesn't have enough staff to properly cover that much square footage, they should reduce the amount of products they sell. I won't be going back.

Found lots of nice secondhand items for only 5€ each. There should be more changing rooms.
