5.5/10This was the most expensive meal we have had in Portugal in 3 weeks, and yet definitely wasn't the nicest. The picanha was tasty but was served swimming in juices, sloppy and wet, the baked potatoes where small and hard, and there where extra charges for eveything which felt greedy and disappointing. Sad as we eat here 25 years ago and it was amazing.

6/10Was our favourite restaurant 20 yrs ago during regular professional visits to Lisbon. Not nearly as good on recent visit. Missing key ingredients of picanha (black beans, rice, sour cream) and the beef was not nearly as tender or thinly sliced

8/10The venue was quiet, but the staff were friendly and welcoming and we liked the ambience of the blue and white traditional tiled walls. Menu choices were a little limited though walking by earlier at lunchtime there were many ’pratos da dia‘ - specials - on a blackboard at very good prices. The baked cod with spinach and potatoes was tasty but be careful of bones. Wine choices were also good, though I only spotted one half-bottle size, a very decent Planalto Douro white which we wanted to accompany the fish.

8/10Nice ambiance and friendly staff but the ayce picanha took too long to arrive, every time we asked. Not a great value for money restaurant, there are better options in Lisbon for similar food. Difficult to park the car nearby.

7.5/10At the beginning of the meal the service was kind of slow, seemed they forgot about us. At the end it improved quite a lot specially the quickness of food brought to the table.

10/10A total MUST-GO restaurant. Top notch Brazilian picanha, served with mouth watering black beans, rice and cheese baked potatoes. A client since the 90s — this is a Lisbon household name. EXCELLENT! Congratulations!!!

10/10A most unlikely place for a fine restaurant but worth looking for. Very friendly staff and delicious food reasonably priced.

6.5/10The place is as cute as a button, the staff very kind and the ambience convivial. Also the wine list is limited but good at fair prices. The issue is the food. For ONLY 3 main courses on the menus and basically no appetizers you'd think that they would excel. They don't. The steak came out overcooked when it was meant to be medium rare, the staple Bacalau was as bland as they come and needed severe doctoring up to be edible. So on balance...how does this place stay alive? Please get a Chef that can cook and has a reperire beyond 3 staples?

10/10The food was excellent! I'm actually surprised by how much I enjoyed it... Having grown up with this type of food, I'm typically not too impressed, but this meal I thoroughly enjoyed.

6/10The waiting staff were friendly and the restaurant is small but clean. The menu is very small (which is often a good thing in my opinion). There was no need to order the listed starters of bread with oil or spicy sausage as this was automatically brought to the table. I ordered the “Chorizo” steak which is listed as coming with a “linguine sauce”. I was not asked how I would like the steak cooked. Luckily it came Medium and was good. The linguine sauce turned out to be a bowl of pasta which I found to be a strange accompaniment! My wife had the baked cod which unfortunately was over cooked and dry. Dessert of Almond cake was also slightly disappointing. As there are so many other interesting restaurants in Lisbon we wouldn’t visit again.

10/10Small, intimate restaurant outside the heart of downtown. Walking distance to Hilton Emerald House. Very nice ambiance, food cooked perfectly. Limited menu. Would go back again and recommend it.

5.5/10We were excited to eat her upon recommendation and vicinity to our hotel. Our first reservation was canceled by the restaurant and upon arrival of our second reservation we were turned away, only told that the restaurant was closed and they didn’t have our reservation. We were excited be seated with our 3rd attempt. We were brought sausages and bread and were told that they were happy we came back. We ordered an appetizer, drinks and 1 entree to split/share. Upon receiving the check, we were charged for the bread and sausages, that we didn’t order, and were charged for two entrées. There was nothing on the menu that addressed that each person would be charged for an entrée. We asked the waiter and he tried to explain that two people ate, thus two charges. We asked for the bill to be corrected and with a scowl he took the bill and returned with only one entrée charge. He left the sausage and bread charge on the bill. We wanted to leave at this point and just went ahead and paid the ticket. I feel that this restaurant operates hoping that people don’t look at the bill and just pay. The food was at most average and I would not recommend.

10/10Nice little Restaurant with few dishes, but for eating Picanha the Choice. Picanha is a Brazilian dish, steer meat cooked over woodfire. The smell of wood fills nicely the place. To drink the original version of Sangria, the white one. The service is friendly and attentive. We did get the Fork 30% pff after asking. Being in Lisbon would go there immidiatly again.

10/10Visited this restaurant about 10 years ago and came back yesterday and was not disappointed. Food is still really great, portions are huge and the selection of wines is nice. Staff is really friendly and the atmosphere of the dining room is beautiful. Can definitely recommend and hope to be able to come back some day!
