    We had a lovely table with a view by the windows. The Cataplana stew for 2 had enough fish and seafood for 4 people and tasted great. But the best thing about this restaurant was the friendly and attentive service. The waiter went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely evening.

    The food was amazing and very well presented and a very good price after having booked through the fork (30% off food) we got seated quickly but found it took a while before we got asked for drinks and food, but turned up quickly there after - any questions I had about the food were answered well regarding weights and unit sizes

    Highly recommend! The seafood platter was exquisite and we enjoyed a lovely meal sitting outside in the historic square. Our service was fantastic - a 10 out of 10 overall!

    Touristy spot. We’ve had truly authentic local food in other parts of Portugal, which made this place stand out—for the wrong reasons. It felt more like a tourist trap than a genuine local experience. The food was average, especially considering the higher prices. Overall, not bad, but definitely not worth going out of your way for.

    We're order the mix seafood. Good taste but disappointed only one oyster. If one more oyster for two person is better.

    Obrigado por partilhar a sua experiência connosco. Ficamos muito satisfeitos por saber que apreciou o sabor da nossa mariscada. 😊 Relativamente à quantidade de ostras, gostaríamos de esclarecer que este prato é concebido para uma pessoa, razão pela qual inclui apenas uma ostra na sua composição. Ainda assim, compreendemos perfeitamente a sua sugestão e agradecemos a atenção ao detalhe. O seu comentário é muito importante para nós e será levado em consideração enquanto continuamos a melhorar e ajustar os nossos pratos, para que a experiência seja sempre a melhor possível — seja para uma ou para duas pessoas. Esperamos ter o prazer de o receber novamente em breve!

    Alright Place in a lovely neighbourhood. The food was good, maybe not excellent but good and there is nothing wrong with that given the price. Ambience is okay maybe missing a few touches here and there. Service was quick. Felt like they forgot about the promotion attached to our booking a bit too easy, however after a short reminder no problem, still feels backward to ask or remind when it clearly shows on their system.

    Mar ao Carmo

    Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback tão detalhado. Ficamos felizes em saber que apreciou a comida e a rapidez do serviço. Trabalhamos sempre para oferecer uma boa relação qualidade-preço, por isso é ótimo saber que isso foi reconhecido. Lamentamos que a experiência com a promoção não tenha sido tão fluida quanto deveria. Tem toda a razão — não deveria ser necessário lembrar algo que já está registado no sistema. Agradecemos por ter mencionado isso, pois ajuda-nos a melhorar os nossos processos internos e garantir que não volte a acontecer. Quanto à atmosfera, agradecemos a sugestão e iremos considerar alguns ajustes para tornar o ambiente ainda mais acolhedor. Esperamos voltar a recebê-lo em breve e proporcionar uma experiência ainda melhor! 🌟

    I’ve been to the restaurant tonight with my family, attracted by the excellent reviews read between the fork and Google. When in, the waiter asked us several times if we had booked through the fork (with a 30% discount). We ordered a dish to share, some appetisers and a main course: the first dish to arrive is the salmon (indicated on the menu as a slice plus vegetable aside), result? a piece of salmon with 1 potato, 1 piece of broccoli and two slices of carrots. Cost? 20 euros. After 40 minutes (while waiting for the main course) the waiter approache to ask us if it’s everything ok, there he realizes that the main course was never sent in preparation for the kitchen. We asked to have the bill, because at this point we were tired of this terrible service, and when we complained that we had had different treatment from the other guests just because we had booked with the fork ,the waiters didn't even try to deny it. A total scam, pay attention.

    Overall the experience was nice, the staff was friendly with some good advice and was also attentive. The dishes ordered was a good portion, albeit felt a bit over cooked with some of the seafood. The white wine sangria was very nice and refreshing, especially after a long day of walking. The location of the restaurant is located in a quieter part of the city, which was nice being tucked away.

    We were 4, booked through The Fork and enjoyed a special treat. The service was good, ambience - just okay, and the value for money was without remark. We ordered grilled octopuss, grilled sardines, octo carpacio, two soups, a huge seafood platter for two, (1/2 lobster, prawns, octopuss, mussels, clams, cod fish, two desserts and 3 bottles of red Lisbon wine, which was quite good too! All in total for a little less than €200

    Good croquettes as an appetizer. Excellent and very tasty fish rice. The serving was enough but quite less generous than one might normally find at Portuguese restaurants. Taking into account the Fork discount the price was reasonable. Wines are too expensive,: a wine glass is priced at one third the price of the bottle (rather than the usual 20-25%).

    Booked a reservation through Fork at this restaurant on Christmas Eve, which was not honored the staff. Probably for the best however, the restaurant smelled terribly of rotten fish. Never had the chance to taste the food, but I wouldn’t recommend it based on the reception we received.
