9/10It was bustling, locals place. With a separate room for we few tourists. Simple, good, fresh seafood. We had the lobster. And our server Lulu was a hoot.

10/10Top tier A+ service. Super low key establishment, no frills, just good food. Definitely a spot where locals come to drink and eat. High quality seafood and great prices.

10/10The person who waited on us was so welcoming and helpful with the menu as we don't speak Portuguese. That made all the difference in our having a wonderful dinner and time at the restaurant. The seafood is so fresh and delicious. Go eat there. You won't be disappointed.

10/10The restaurant was recommended by a friend as the best example of an authentic Portuguese seafood place in Lisbon. Not only was the food outstanding but the staff were incredibly helpful - their suggestions were invaluable. I wish we could go every Friday!

9.5/10This is a Neiborhood food place close to the Palace in the old town are. It was a wonderful experience and happy to go there. Is not a tourist place but a pleasant environment. The service and the seafood were outstanding. Is not a fancy place, but a place you feel safe, well treated and with fresh seafood to offer. A place to go again when we visit Lisbon, and a place to recommend to friends.

4.5/10The sapateira crab was excellent, but the 2 shrimp dishes were overcooked. We ordered ham and cheese appetizers that never came. They said the crab would take 30 minutes to be prepared, but it took an hour and a half. We could barely get the attention of the waiters to order dessert (which needless to say we skipped) or to get the check.

9.5/10It is a local seafood place with a neighborhood vibe. Food is fresh-taken right out of a tank up front. They only take cash so be prepared. The owner was extremely nice and spoke good English . The 28 tram goes right in front of it as well as some buses and stop is one block away. We would go back.

8/10Nice local place with fresh seafood. Very simple decor and nice service. All customers looked local and well known by staff. The server was speaking some English and explained menu in simple words: fish, shrimp, soup. So we ordered what was suggested by server. He brought to try different crab claws which were salty. Shrimp was salty as well but was fresh. Seafood soup was not salty finely and had plenty shell seafood like crab and shrimp and claws. It had too much rice that absorbed liquid and it was more like risotto not soup. Overall, food was good. At the end we got a bill written by hand on top of another bill that we could not understand and they would only accept cash that we did not know before. Luckily we had cash to pay. It was interesting experience.

9.5/10Great food at good price. Basic place. Would have never gone in if it hadn't been referred to us. Love it though. And a good opportunity to walk around the Graçia district and enjoy its nice murals.

10/10A great local fish restaurant, that serves authentic basic, delicious fish dishes and superfresh seafood to many local customers. The best price/quality in Graça. If you want to escape the touristic parts of Lisbon and experience what Portugal is all about.

9.5/10What a fabulous experience. Brilliant service with great suggestions of food. We wouldn’t have dreamed of ordering lobster but it was amazing and the other choices just as good. Shocked by the bill. So incredibly reasonable. Everyone should go.
