    Food was delicious but service was slow. They didn’t ask if we want anything else, maybe didn’t want to bother us? There was no music and it was a quiet night. Overall an okay restaurant.

    We ordered 4 differents dishes each on worst than the other, sword fish too dry, flounder raw, octupus taste like a rubber ball and the bacalao without flavor with a chef hair included (That the manager wanted to charge me hahaha) AS A TOURIST I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYBODY

    This place is really good. We selected Vela Branca because my wife wanted paella and the paella here is excellent. I had the sea bass and it was very good. We saw the comment about FORK customers being treated differently (as in not good). NOT TRUE. We received preferential treatment and were given the best table in the restaurant. We had a bottle of white wine from the Douro. Nice wine and reasonable price. Creme brûlée was also very good. Service was spot on. Highly recommend.

    We came back twice in 3 days! This time we ordered seafood soup and grilled golden bream. Still very happy with our experience!

    Plates are not the same as in the original menu. They treat you differently if you go with the fork. Also, 5€ beer which is crazy in Lisbon.

    Paella de Alloz Preto and Arroz de Palvo were super delicious and the price was quite reasonable. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

    Good food, wine and service generally. Disappointed with the bachallau though. Fork Discount partly given. Not planning to revisit.
