The staff was very kind and showed some recommendations for us. Sardins and octopus were really delicious.

I ordered the grilled squids. Squid were good but floating in oil (not olive oil) which was disappointing. The crème caramel for desert was too heavy

Enjoyed the 5 fish plate when I usually don’t like to contend with bones but it was easy to eat and delicious, especially the dorado fish. Did not enjoy the octopus rice as much as I expected but had always wanted to try octopus. Only complaint is the uncomfortable backless stools.

Wonderful tiny restaurant. Great concept - all grilled food. Delicious and reasonably priced. Staff was terrific. Book a lunch at Noon or prepare to wait.

My wife, daughter and I shared both the mixed fish and mixed meat plates, which were more than ample size wise, and were absolutely delicious. Our waitress (Loice) was sweet and delightful which made the experience that much more special. The small side salad (among all things) was fabulous. We shared a cheese-cake like dessert which was like a mountain of cream, with a light, sweet, caramel taste, that cannot be missed (it see that each waiter has his or her own favorite dessert and there are quite a few to choose from). This place was filled within 10 minutes of opening, so I'm glad we made reservations (long ago). Definitely fit for foodies, but also for anyone interested in exploring Portuguese food culture. This is a delightful spot.

We were cruise ship passengers who booked a lunchtime table weeks in advance through TheFork. Food was excellent - we had the mixed fish. The restaurant was small and popular with a rather cramped feeling as the tables for two are close together with stools to sit on rather than chairs. Fortunately the Bulgarian couple next to us were very nice. They asked to be moved next to us, as the table they were given first had everybody passing by on their way in and out of the restaurant.

Very small restaurant. Waitress was very nice but the value of the meal was just ok. We ordered a fish sampler plate which was 15-17euro. There were a tiny sardine, a piece of salmon, a piece of golden fish, and two other pieces that were not filling although tasting good

Go there for sardines when they are in season! The service was great, can’t say the same thing about the hostess who was not very hospitable. The chairs are uncomfortable and we are packed inside like sardines, ok if it’s for a quick lunch.

Wife had octopus which was surprisingly bland I had fish platter of 5 different fish. The salmon was very tasty The Sardine was huge but more fishy than others I have tasted. The other 3 fish were good. Coffee mouse for dessert was excellent. Overall somewhat of a disappointment

This is really excellent traditional restaurant, open only for lunch and booking is advisable. A very small menu, but beautifully cooked. Mostly seafood, but plenty of meat dishes available.

100% recommend this restaurant, we both absolutely adored our lunch, and wish we lived in Lisbon as the fish was the best we've eaten out in years! We had the mixed grilled fish = heaven on a plate!!!

Went here on the last day of our holiday last week and had an amazing lunch. Had the mix seafood and squid. Lovely fresh seafood. Will come back the next time we are in Lisbon.
