5 O Ferradura é o melhor sítio para se comer em Vagos e arredores se procurarem comida do género caseira à portuguesa. Excelente qualidade/preço, comemos 1 menu por 10€ que traz pão, azeitonas, sopa, prato do dia, bebida e café. Já não se come assim por este preço em lado nenhum. Aconselho vivamente as moelas, lasanha, carne de porco à alentejana, frango de churrasco, panados,(...). Para além disso o staff é muito porreiro!
