    Food so delicious and fresh! The creamiest burrata I ever had. The wife and husband owners Valentina and Rafael are also the chef and waiter. Super friendly and welcoming but never intrusive. Rafael plays guitar and sings bossa nova once or twice in the evening.

    The boss is singing behind the bar, and his wife is cooking delicious dishes in the kitchen. We had a very good moment there. Don’t hesitate to come and Taste Valentina’s cuisine!

    The hospitality of the owners was remarkable. Food was great as well. If it hadn’t been our last evening in Lisbon, we would have been back.

    This is a small cosy restaurant specialized in Brazilian food. The owner is very friendly and the service is good and fast. The food is delicious and there is a good selection of local wines. Highly recommended.

    Fantastic find, the welcome from the hosts and owners was warm and felt genuine. The food was fantastic and authentic and we even got a short guitar recital from the owner who plays and sings really well. We don’t speak Portuguese but the host had excellent English and menus in both languages helped . The only down side it was very quiet the evening we visited but hopefully that will change as we would absolutely recommend a visit and thank you for a great meal and fantastic evening.

    Thank you so much, we are happy you enjoyed your dinner with us. Unfortunately it was a quiet night, some times it happens… The next day we were so busy that Rafa couldn’t even find time to play… so every experience has its unique flavour. Hope to see you again some time!

    Excellent food and service. The restaurant is owned by a married couple that share their love of great food and service. One of the best meals I have had while traveling in Lisbon. It was so delicious I returned for a second meal!! The chicken stroganoff is a must try!
