7.5/10The food had a unique taste. The fish was very nice but there were some dishes that might need a refined tongue to fully enjoy them. The servers we had were nice - the Sommelier was outstandingly great.

5.5/10The 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.

9.5/10The food was delicious - classic Portuguese ingredients used in exciting ways on the appetizers. The mains were classics but high quality. Will definitely return!

10/10The 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.

7.5/10The menu was out of date. It included acorn-fed ham, but there was no ham available today at lunch. That was disappointing.

10/10This 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.

7.5/10Service 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.

The food was *chef’s kiss* (looking at you squid and desserts) Very cool and chill place but with a touch of class and fine-dining. You don’t get bullshit plates here - the main ingredients are in your plate in plain sight, modest but perfectly cooked. Will return 1000%.

9.5/10Quality food and outstanding service. It is our first visit and we were provided excellent recommendations on food and wine. We ordered mainly seafood; alistados, scallops and mullet. Fresh, sweet and cooked to perfection.

6/10Stylish take on a traditional Portuguese fish restaurant. The food was great. The room is nice. The lights could’ve been dimmer. My issue as a single person eating there I was encouraged to order way more than I needed to. The waiter felt more like a used car salesman than someone interested in my having a good meal and night at hot restaurant. Waitstaff are supposed to guide you through your meal not just to encourage you to have a bigger bill. Point in case: some of the larger appetizers are indeed main courses. I know this because after being convinced to order three small plates, a main two side( fish because it’s a fish restaurant!) the Portuguese guy who came and sat next to me, had one plate: steak frite (?) and a beer, I didn’t see the waiter telling him that: oh don’t order that you should have 5 more courses. It made me feel ripped off and unwelcome. Oh you know those gullible stupid tourist they can afford it. I wouldn’t go back.

9.5/10
Beautiful food in a classical, laid back ambiance and very friendly service. We tried the octopus and the squid, which were both incredibly soft and cooked with amazing flavors. The bread here is incredible (natural sourdough). And the desserts are original and amazing in their simplicity. All in all, a great experience. Will return and do recommend!

7/10This is just a comment for my tastes, but the rib eye was a delicious cut of meat but it was ruined by far too much salt. The side salad that was just lettuce and onion was drowned in dressing making both dishes difficult to eat.
