Traditional portuguese cuisine. Away from other crowded turisty places. Mainly locals. Tasty and really yummy food. The bacalao bras was super tasty.

This is my second time here and again, the service was excellent and friendly. Food, of course, was wonderful. Planning on bringing my series of guests over.

+2The food is excellent and really not very expensive. Deep fried Piglet fritters Appetizer is really delicious (I dipped it in the meat sauce that comes with the bread and olives, but don’t tell the traditionalist) Pumpkin soup is amazing (again don’t tell the snobby conservatives but wipe that bowl clean with the bread) Pork Ribs with Peas and Poached Egg/ very tasty and tender pork on the bone, firm peas / great sauce (nonchalantly eat the pork off the bone if you have to) The pork cheek entree is exceptionally good and very unique. Highly recommend. Nut cake Morgade Do Busdaco KILLER GREAT. The bathrooms are really unique and clean. Staff is attentive. Cool facilities The vibe is casual, very friendly and efficient. Order more than you think you need, you will LOVE it so much.

If you want a true taste of Portugal, this spot delivers big time. No fuss, no over‑styling — just honest, consistent, beautifully crafted Portuguese food. The location is cool, the energy is lively, and the service is fast, friendly, and on point. A must‑try in Principe Real.

The food and wine were amazing! Great garlic prawns, with their lovely Mafra bread, and really good cornbread cod! The standout was the service though! So good! Thank you!

Good food, not too imaginative, perfect sound-isolating decoration, making conversation possible and extremely nice service.

Special dishes from the beginning to the end. We tried 3 different "petiscos": tomato salad, pulpo salad and pastel de bacalhau. For the main dish, duck rice. The orange touch made it superb
