    Location food and ambience was awesome but when you sit down at the table, there is an spread of olives and bread and then they bring you cheese and butter for the bread then they proceeded to charge you €10 for the “starter dish”. Still an overall inexpensive meal and it was all delicious.

    I recommend going one day and ordering only “Petiscos” to share. We did that and it was amazing. Always have a bread basket to go with. Everything that has seafood is great (we don’t know the others because we only did order seafood 😅)!

    It was the best hospitality and services I have experienced in Lisbon. In additon, all the deals were delicious and they were very attentive to the children's food. I will revisit in the next visit in Lisbon.

    Average food in a cool part of town. Strange imposed cheese starter already at the table for 10 euros which we couldn’t eat because my wife is pregnant. Absolutely fine but nothing special and wouldn’t visit again if we return to Lisbon.

    Food and service were excellent. Delicious, good quality food at affordable prices. The only glitch was their card machine was not working, so you had to pay by cash which is inconvenient (cash-based dining is not common anymore). Other than that, it was perfect!

    Friendly but formal service, great food (the best choco frito I’ve ever had including Setubal/Arrabida side), beautiful tram&old city&river view from the terrace. Perfect gem in the heart of the city!

    So happy to have found this great little spot. The outdoor terrace with a lemon tree growing in it is so lovely, the food was really great and the service super friendly and helpful. It was so much fun to eat here, highly recommend. And you even get to see the trolley roll by!

    Gorgeous setting & atmosphere, felt very high class but not pretentious. Really great service, very attentive and friendly. Amazing small plate options & fish selection. Not many options for meat (only 4 different types of steak), but the steak was tasty. Tuna steak was great. Not loads of options for veggies (a few small plates and 1 veggie burger) but the veggie in our party said the veggie burger was incredible and he was very happy with his dinner. Overall great meal and would recommend to others for sure.

    Loved the staff who was friendly, helpful and chatted with us a lot. The food was good. I would recommend you to take the tuna for the starter and octopus for the main dish. Enjoy!

    They have the coziest terrace and very friendly service. We were there two times during our stay in Lisbon. The first time we had many different tapas. The 2nd time we decided to have main dishes. Whatever you will decide for, you will have the most delicious food. If you decide for the main dish, try the grilled octopus. It‘s their speciality and rightly so!

    Good food with reasonable delivery time, fast and professional service with good knowledge about the menu, and a mean gin&tonic. Highly recommended.

    I have been coming to Lisbon for about 10 years, when you first came here you could not go wrong with any little hole in the wall. Recently with the influx of visitors this is sadly no longer the case. This is not a bad restaurant but it definitely caters to people that don’t know the true quality of Portuguese traditional cuisine.
