We really enjoyed the restaurant—great food, unique flavors, and reasonable prices. We even got to try kangaroo and crocodile—first time ever! 🙈

What a pleasant surprise! This 14-seat restaurant was not on my radar until I discovered it here on The Fork. Two of us created our own “tasting menu” by ordering an assortment of items on the menu to share. We had the guacamole with plantain chips, pulled pork croquette, and kangaroo tartar to start. All amazingly good! For mains, we split the wild boar pie and duck breast. Everything was perfectly cooked, well-portioned, and so delicious! We ordered two different New Zealand red wines by the glass to complement our meal, but they didn’t really wow us. Our waiter was friendly and very prompt with bringing food to the table. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I’ve already planned what different items to try the next time we come back!

Loved every single bit of the menu, couldn't recommend more any other restaurant this much in Lisbon at the moment.

the review: I guess most people come to this restaurant because of the Crocodile & Canguru. As our first visit, we needed to gauge the quality, and thus we avoided this. We had the shrimps with green peas' panacotta (GREAT) the duck (nothing special - quite bland, in fact) and the 36h pork (GREAT again). We were 2 sharing it all and we were so full we had no space left for dessert (the Aussie Pavlova will have to wait). The space is nice (upstairs) and the chairs and table are quite nice and comfortable (as opposed to most places). Warm and professional service. The only (subjective) downsides are the coffee at the end (terrible Nespresso) and the music choice - we suffered a mix of second rate bossa nova tunes combined with some of these whinning portuguese pseudo-singers that make you avoid listening to radio music in PT. We'll return.

First experience with Australian cuisine. Nothing like trying crocodile, wild boar, and kangaroo. Ceviche and shrimp panna cotta were also equally delicious. A place and gastronomy to repeat. Friendly and efficient service.

Great food (im still dreaming about that ceviche), fairly priced and with great ambiance. Service could be a bit more attentive, but still nice!

Good food! Some dishes were actually unique with a distinctive flavour, others were not that special. Good service and the ambience was ok, is a really small place.

As usual the meal was delicious! I had the tuna tartare and the pork belly! I really should try something else but these are my favourites! The others had the Angus steak and said it was delicious and perfectly rare! Definitely a return visit is in our future!

The restaurant wasn’t busy during our visit, with just a few other diners enjoying the degustation menu, but we decided to go a la carte. For starters, I chose the Kangaroo Tartare, a meat I had never tried before. It was a delightful introduction to new flavors! My husband opted for the Ceviche, and he was extremely pleased with his choice, loving the fresh and zesty elements it presented. For our main courses, we enjoyed the Corvina fish and the Chicken and Prawn Risotto. Both dishes were exceptional—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. To finish our meal, we indulged in the Pavlova and the Sticky Date Pudding for dessert, and both were scrumptious; a perfect sweet note to end our dining experience. Additionally, the restaurant offers a very good selection of wines and drinks at reasonable prices, which complemented our meal beautifully. Overall, the food was incredibly flavorful, and the service was attentive and welcoming.

Only top part of restaurant area was open, a bit of a shame because the experience in the below seemed much nice on the pictures. The glasses on the table were dirty, had to ask for the server to replace them. Food is ok, from the buzz I was expecting more taste. I would not recommend to a friend.
