Food was great except for the Salmon portion size but the taste was good, steak was great and beer was crisp.

It was fine, but service was a bit slow and there were no trimmings, no extras, just a fair plate of food on the table, which wasn't particularly generous. For something from mother's kitchen, it felt a bit dry, and it was definitely not typical portuguese, but it was ok.

This little place is a gem in an old neighborhood. The grilled octopus was expertly prepared and delicious - just the right amount of caramelization of the onions and octopus. The gambas with garlic were equally delicious. Don't let the location fool you, it is clean and comfortable inside. Service was pleasant and reasonably prompt after a slow start.

A great find and excellent value for money. Fish dishes, great and the brownie with ice cream. Don’t forget a glass of port at the end!

Unfortunately yesterday we received the worst service in our lives. First they took ages to bring the menus, I had to chase 2-3 times. Then forever to take orders. But the most unbelievable was food service. We waited for over two hours for our main meals and some starters came at the same time as mains! We were a group of 12 (2 teachers and 10 students, some under 18) The reservation was at 7.30, but we left restaurant at 11 because the service was so slow. When we complained, they didn’t apologise and didn’t make up for the poor service. They said it’s because we already have a discount through Fork. I felt like they treated us worse because of the 30%off discount. Avoid this place!

I ate in this restaurant during my last night in Lisbon with my family. The environment is nice and quiet, clean over the average found during my week in Portugal. The food was really good and accurate in details. Beverage a little bit overpriced, especially water, but it seems common in the capital city. I don't usually take desserts, because I don't love the sweet taste, but I tried the brownie with the ice cream. The ice cream was of a really good quality (I'm super choosy with that) and in the complex the dessert was worth it. Recommended for a more intimate dinner and to take a break from rich and traditional fared meals, which are good but repetitive.

I thought I'd get 30% discount, but that wasn't the case. The calculation used by the restaurant was confusing. The food, however, was good, despite the relatively small portions. The service could use a lil improvement.

A great little neighbourhood restaurant around the corner from our apartment. Delicious food, kind and friendly service. Excellent value. We had tapas but would definitely come back for the main courses. Real Lisbon.

A hidden gem. The area it is in is certainly not the best but the food and service really make up for it. Lovely fish and vegetables. I tried the "sandwich " from the port area which was very different but not my thing Nothing wrong with the cooking at all. Very friendly staff and beautiful food. Just go there yourselves

My husband and I both really enjoyed our meals. The quality was excellent and it was really affordable. The only thing I would say is the restaurant isn't in the best neighbourhood - it was fine with my husband there but if I was travelling myself at night I think it would be enough to put me off which is a shame because otherwise the restaurant is perfect.

We really liked the appetiser, grilled octopus was 2/10 though. Super tiny portion, literally 7zm arm plus a salad. Definitely not a main course. Staff was kind and respectful.

A small and cozy restaurant. The meat that was served was not of the best quality but it was fine, but it is a really good deal considering the price. The food was nicely presented.

This is not a place you just happen by, but it was a simple but good meal. It is clean and comfortable. You can tell this is a bit more of a local place. We shared the generous portion of chicken dumplings to start. They were delicious. I had the whole roasted sea bass that was very good. The fish was so large that I couldn’t finish it. My wife had the peri peri chicken and it was a good sized portion and tasty. The hot sauce that was served with it is no joke.
