    Authentic Portuguese cuisine. Very reasonable prices and central location. Fried shrimp with garlic, Octopus rice and Steak with eggs is excellent. We came back for a second time!

    Service was attentive. Ambience is simple but fine. The. restaurant was not very busy, which was good for conversation. Food, however, was OK at best. Only one of four in our party was happy with their food selection. We’ll keep exploring other dining options in the city and not return to this one.

    If you order something they don't like, the staff will get sulky and make you feel bad. They don't seem to understand much English, and although the food is not bad, the service made my husband leave. The locals were very friendly.

    Owner provides personal touch. Complimentary cod cakes, goat cheese/bread, and aperitif are an amazing touch. Entrees are the real Portuguese experience. Price was very reasonable. A must go!

    A small local restaurant, family run, away from the glitz and glamour that offers great food at reasonable prices. A real personal touch from the owner but he can’t be rushed. Cash preferred to card when we were there.

    I love the food at this restaurant so much that I returned to Lisbon on my way to the Algarve, specifically so I could have a meal there.

    Just a simple, relaxed, authentic place. And a great value. We had wonderful experience given that we just wanted some authentic Portuguese food that we could easily walk to after hitting the happy hour at Canil Cerveja.

    This restaurant served authentic Portuguese cuisine. The menu had many options and excellent prices. What I ordered was tasty, and food rations were abundant. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a place to eat in Lisbon. Here's a heads up: plan to have cash, as their card system was down.

    Very genuine Portuguese restaurant, thanks both to the owner and the quality of the dishes. A real Portuguese experience. Nothing fancy, but if you are looking for a local experience, then this is your place.

    If you want authentic Portuguese cuisine this is the place to go. The garlic shrimp was great however the cod fish cakes were pretty dry and lacked flavor. The rice that came with it was great.

    9.5/10

    We had Portuguese beef which was served with crisps. It was good quality and value ans the waitress was friendly and understood what we wanted and advised on the wine. The cheese and bread served as an appetizer were delicious and good value. Would recommend for a good quality and good value eat. If you're looking for something upmarket and quiet this isn't for you as it was full if large groups but food is good value. It's cash only.

    Excellent food! Fresh and well prepared food. A family owned restaurant not a tourist place. I highly recommend taking the short walk off the main strip. We will definitely go nack

    The location is just off the main tourist street. If you're looking for authentic dishes at a fair price, then give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. You will NOT have anyone out on the street trying to lure you in, sit you at a table, or thrust a menu in your face. Try the octopus salad and the seafood rice with a 1/2 litre of white wine and bread. Enjoy!!!

    The only downside of the restaurant is that they don't take charge cards, cash only! Unfortunately we didn't discover this until it was time to pay.

    Simple family run local restaurant with no frills but lovely food, and at a great price. Local people, local food at a great price. Beer and wine also well priced. It’s also close to the main tourist areas, but away from the tourist traps. Don’t be put off by it’s simple appearance- try it!

    Authentic portuguese experience in city centre. Good simple Portuguese dishes, definitely recommend trying some of the starters also because the clams and, bacalhao cakes were amazing. Staff is quick, always running around but super kind.
