    The food is good and reasonable prices. For a family of 4 we left 65 euros. The service can improve a little. Simple things like clearing the appetizer dishes before bringing mains.

    Nice homemade cook with big portions. The room is noisy and tight. Efficient and kind service.

    Although situated in a high touristic place, the restaurant is far from a tourist trap, because it's really an hidden gem of Alfama: tasty traditional food, and really nice people working there that will make everything to make you fell comfortable!

    Very nice and authentic place. The decor is nice, the food is excellent and it is really not expensive. We came with a group of 10 people, and all were very happy

    Great little restaurant! It's a bit out of the way, which makes it even more pleasant. Food is solid, tasty, good portions, and reasonably priced. We would definitely go again!

    My fish was good but my grind ordered a steak which was very tough. Every thing else was ok. I think this restaurant is a little bit overrated but for the price it is ok.

    We waited 15 minutes to be seated, 20 minutes more before someone came to ask us if we want something to drink, and ofcourse 30 minutes more before we actually ate. It was not super busy. If that wasn’t all my lobster on grill was literally straight from grill- no spices oil or anything added. My partners dish was full of potatoes, as if someone in a hurry just made it. If the taste was the only issue I would not be upset but I had dysentery in the night so not sure what hygiene they have. This place is for people who have no clue about Portuguese food and want to eat for cheap. It has ambience of authenticity so you believe that it maybe just low key good food, but in fact it is not restaurant quality food.
