    Excellent authentic Portuguese flavours. The food was tasty and Sam the waiter was so charming and attentive. Slightly overpriced but the discount deal with The Fork brought it to about within range. We were hungry and ate very well.

    The paella and piri piri chicken were great, but the prawn curry was bland and a small portion, they had no vegetarian burgers, and they had run out of all desserts on the menu.

    Very friendly service and fantastic food. Our original New Year’s Eve dinner plans got cancelled, and we found this as a last minute backup. The flaming chorizo is a must have, plus the sardines are a tasty starter. Very soft bread as well. Francesinha was a huge stack of great, bread, cheese and egg. Wife had the Bacalhau com nata (cod in cream sauce), also recommended. Glass of house red wine was a very generous pour. Highly recommended.

    Seafood Rice: 3.5 out of 5 stars. The Seafood Rice punched above its weight, in terms of flavor and the cost of the dish. There were 3 or 4 shrimp heads, one medium-sized shrimp still in shell, a lot of small clams, and a few logs of overcooked, gummy surimi. The dish was flavorful, so no complaints overall given the 50% discount. However, I would expect better and more ingredients if we were to pay full price. The house white wine paired nicely with the dish.

    Located in B.Alto District in Lisbon city centre, this "Tasca" offer various typical Portuguese food. With a friend I got opportunity to have 50% discount, that un a turistic area (famous for their movida) found me fundamental as total payment. I chase "Bacalhau com Natas" & my friend "Salmão" as sobremesas "Mousse de Chocolate" & "Carameo". Everything taste good! Little bit undervalued (especially also for higher price).

    Asked for some bread and butter while waitting for some people. The bread was dry, clearly out of the microwave. The food was ok. The octopus salad was acceptable and the octopus rice was clearly made with canned tomato and had too much onion on it. The size of the portions was also good.

    Here you can taste the best seafood in Lisbon, wow! It is not a spot where many tourists come, so the prices are normal.The service from the waitress who helped us was also excellent. I will definitely come back here.

    I was there with my girlfriend to try some Portuguese Food. We had Bacalau de Nata and the typical grilled Octopus. They were delicious but we would like to spend some special words for Sam and his female colleague: they were special, I’d suggest to the other restaurant to go to Sam and learn how to treat customers! We really felt cuddled, Sam was often there asking if anything more was needed! 5 stars totally deserved! Thanks Sam, good job Sam!
