    Wonderful food, friendly and welcoming atmosphere and overall positive vibe with the experience. Food was excellent and host was warm and inviting. Wonderful choice for anyone. Best restaurant we have booked via fork during three months of European travel. I highly recommend it. Also restaurant is in a quiet part of town and walk to and from lodging was a wonderful experience in itself.

    Unfortunately they do not take allergies seriously at this restaurant - we had a bad experience and an anaphylactic episode as a result of food either contaminated or served containing the allergen that we made clear was a serious risk. I reached out to them to ask if there was something in the dishes provided that could potentially be an unknown trigger - and despite their response they have not been forthcoming about how the food served to us was not safe.

    the service was very nice and friendly, but the food was really nothing special. tried the tuna (that was very hyped in other reviews) and it came with a lot of dried onions that seemed came from a bag. also the other dishes didn't have much flavor but were just looking fancy. I'll probably not be back sorry

    The food was incredible: mixed ceviche, burrata with shrimp and golden rice were so tasty and delightful. Service was good and the space, though small, never felt uncomfortable.

    Lovely food but service was terrible - there over 2 hours and only served 5 small plates. No big plates, no desert and waitress who didn’t give a toss

    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 ;)
