Fantastic ambience and super cozy interior (very unusual for Lisbon), good service, great lunch set menu for 25€. Place is tiny, so there’s not enough place. Also theme with „ring to enter” destroys the experience as every few minutes the doorbell rings and people queue in the middle of the restaurant waiting for the table to be assigned. Food wise, their legendary steak sauce is overrated but overall food quality and starters are very good.

Francisco was fantastic with us. Just the right amount of attentiveness and leaving us alone to enjoy ourselves. Gave a great wine recommendation too. Food was delicious, the traditional São Bento steak is a must!

O ambiente mantém-se intimista, fugindo ao conceito tradicional do restaurante pois identifica-se mais com um pub....
