The best part about the meal with the bread and olives. The onion and lettuce salad at first tasted like it needed salt. But as I continued to eat it, I got mouthfuls of salt, so much so that the rest of the salad was unedible. The pork had gristle in it that I tried discreetly to spit out. The piperade sauce amounted to a brunoise of the ingredients, the flavor was not developed, and there was nothing saucy about it. And finally, they were out of the red wine that I ordered, which seems like poor inventory management to me. This is probably the worst meal I’ve had in Lisbon so far.

The tuna tartare with rice and a quail egg was totally unique and flavorful. The squid was tender with a light chive studded sauce. The shrimp and pasta had a tasty contrast of flavors and textures. The staff was gracious and welcoming.

The fish was so fresh and expertly prepared! I particularly enjoyed the line caught squid with sheep’s butter. Yum!

The food was delicious - classic Portuguese ingredients used in exciting ways on the appetizers. The mains were classics but high quality. Will definitely return!

The food was outstanding. I got the omelet with shrimp and onions. Who would have thought an omelet could be so tasty. It certainly was the best one I’ve ever had. And. Y husband had the skate special which was as equally delicious.

We enjoyed each and every bite at this restaurant. Our waitress, an example of Portuguese diligence, was kind without feeling overwhelming.

The menu was out of date. It included acorn-fed ham, but there was no ham available today at lunch. That was disappointing.

This restaurant was a little off the beaten path which we enjoyed. We needed some guidance with the menu and our server pointed us to some amazing dishes - we particularly enjoyed the squid in butter sauce and the pork. The place had top notch food and a down to earth vibe.

Service was much too quick. Our four shared dishes came so quickly that we were forced to figure out how to manage the plates in a limited space, and to eat the hot dishes first. We ordered dessert to extend our dinner out and still were there for just 1 hour and 15 minutes. The food was good—not exceptional—but the rushed meal resulted in a disappointing experience. I expected better.
