The owner increased it’s prices 30% in one year (Check the prices of the menus / pictures on Google)! Wondering if he also increased the wages at the same extent

Thank you for your thorough analysis — it’s always refreshing to see such dedication to our business. Google photos are indeed a fascinating tool, even if they don’t quite capture rent increases, supplier inflation, energy bills, taxes, or the small detail of keeping a restaurant running. As for wages, we’re grateful for the concern. Luckily, our team speaks for itself — daily, confidently, and by continuing to be here.

We had a great night. The ambience is great, the open kitchen is a nice touch. The food was also very good and nicely plated. Also, a big selection of portuguese wines.

The restaurant was perfect. The service was amazing and the staff was very kind. The food was amazing, a quite fine and sophisticated cuisine, the meat was just as it should be. Great wine cave, rich in choice, we took a very original and delightful discovery. We came as a family and they were very welcoming. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere very warm and homie. Food high quality and traditional. I would say a touch unsalted, but that’s something I appreciate, cause guests can choose by themself how much salt to put. I tasted few dishes, since me and my friends shared the food. There was not something I didn’t like. Service was basic and fast. The lady was helping us choosing the right wine, suggesting also some type. Very nice experience. If you’re in Lisbon center, you better visit this place :)

An average dining experience. The place looks cheery in the pictures, but it’s a little less in reality. The food was good but nothing to write home about.

One of the best steaks I’ve ever had and everything was reasonably priced with good portions. The restaurant was dark and moody which we really enjoyed along with the service.

the place and the waiteress is kind of cute and welcoming but also a bit chilly needs some heating. and if it come to food, It's always a problem having delicious soft and properly cooked meat in Lisbon. and here the meat cooked as we wanted but it was still a bit chewy. the side dishes which we ordered and paid seperately was in really small portions. I can't say that we were full at the end of the meal. overall, it was not a bad experience but I guess I won't miss the place.

We had a lovely meal for two here, tucked away down an interesting street, the restaurant was nice and relaxed. We both really enjoyed our steak and cod dishes and there were some wonderful wine and drink options to go with it. We also ordered desserts - both were very tasty (although nuts on a chocolate mousse should ideally be mentioned on the menu). I’d recommend this place for chilled out vibes with great food and very pleasant service.

The food was pretty good! I had already tried the meat so this time I decided to try something different, breaded octupus with this beans rice. Never tried octupus like this, I was curious (as Portuguese person I'm quite peculiar with my octupus) and it went so well with rice 😊 so meat previously approved, now sea food approved!
