    Absolutely our favorite restaurant in Lisbon! It was an explosion of flavors with every dish we had. Jouao Philip and the entire team, really amazing service, ambiance and people.

    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.

    I’ve been here at least a dozen times and it’s consistently good. No need to change up the menu.

    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 ;)

    9.5/10

    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!
