    Inventive dishes, delicious flavors and beautiful presentations. The duck, steak and sea bass were all incredible and the staff is professional and very friendly!

    The seasoned chicken with king prawns and lemongrass risotto is a must-try. Creative, perfectly balanced, with all the ingredients cooked to perfection. A finger-licking signature dish.

    As per trip advisor . The food was outstanding however the service needs to improve in areas or just some of the staff . Female waitress (apologies did not catch her name) was excellent . An absolute must if you are visiting Lisbon

    Food is brilliant. They have some new combinations that are worth trying (i.E. kangaroo tartare with truffled caviar and egg)... Only thing that could make the experience better is suggestion on how to eat those combinations

    We thoroughly enjoyed the 6 course tasting menu accompanied by the generous wine pairings! The service was very attentive and it was a great experience. We'll definitely go back the next time we are in Lisbon!

    This was a fantastic meal. Probably the best we’d had during a five night stay in Lisbon. We tried the crocodile and kangaroo, having never had them before. So glad we did as they were superb. Can’t wait to have them again! The corvina fish was awesome - it was the size of a large portion of tuna but the delicate taste of a sea bream or similar. To round it off, we had the sticky date pudding. Again, superb. Make sure you pay this restaurant a visit. You won’t be disappointed.

    This is probably our 4th or 5th time here and every time the food has been exceptional! We have always enjoyed the pork belly, the steak, the kangaroo, the desserts. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Lisbon! We'll definitely return!

    Food was very unusual and interesting. But we sit near a very loud company of people. This situation spoiled our visit.

    Quality, presentation, service - everything was fabulous Kangaroo tartare and prawn/pea panacotta for starters, followed by Tom Yum chicken risotto and 36hr roasted pork belly were exceptional. Shared a sticky date pudding for dessert, yum. Service was friendly and attentive, without feeling rushed. Perfect evening

    Excellent atmosphere and service. Angus steak was top signature dish - we ordered it 3 times, it was good but not amazing. For a top dish the medium steak was not as tender as expected. We did not have wine, no deserts, we have shared two entrees, and paid as 4 people €166 - that’s quite an investment. Anyway we have enjoyed being here.

    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!

    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.

    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!
