    All of the dishes we ordered were great. We had 2 smaller plates - the fried fish tacos and tuna and then the golden rice as our larger plate. We enjoyed them all. The restaurant was lowkey and on a side street - felt much less touristy than other restaurants nearby. We would definitely go back!

    Such a good restaurant! We've been coming to Lisbon for 3 years straight now. This is THE restaurant we go to when we're here . The dishes are so well prepared. Compliments to the chef because the food is out of this world. This combined with super good service and good wine is such Winner . Next year we'll definitely be back! Much love from the belgians who you guys so gladly provided with your private airco because we couldn't stand the Portuguese heat ;)

    It’s a wonderful little restaurant, the man serving was very welcoming and gave excellent service even in 34 degree heat. The Saffron and shrimp risotto was amazing- possibly the best risotto we’ve ever had! Really enjoyed the scallops and fish tacos. From the outside it looks like a place you could easily walk past. It’s very simply decorated and not showy. We went based on a recommendation and we are so glad we did. Exceptional food made simply but packed with flavour. If we were staying here longer we would book to go again.

    Good service, but need to reserve in advance. Taste is good, but comes in a small portion, If you're big eater, you have to order a lot until you get full

    We enjoyed every part of our meal. The ceviche and the polvo are not to be missed. We also really liked the desserts. The restaurant is located in a very friendly neighborhood. We went there on a Sunday, and I would recommend making a reservation as the place is small. Thumbs up for the food quality and the service. I’ll definitely go back — don’t hesitate to visit on your next trip to Lisbon!

    This was my first time in Lisbon! I’ve been in this incredible city for a week. This was my last night, and eating in this quaint little INCREDIBLY delicious restaurant far exceeded my expectations. If you want fancy and flashy, this is not your spot. This casual cozy place has LOCAL vibes with the most comfortable genuine staff. The shrimp burrata appetizer and grilled octopus main were some of the best meals of the week! Not only would I recommend this place, but tell my friends that it should be your FIRST MEAL…. Because you’re likely to want a return visit!

    We loved this restaurant. The service was a joy. Polite, but attentive. The food was lovely. Flame grilled prawns on burrata! Wow . Tucked away in a little street not far from the funiculare. Loved it.
