    The service and food was excellent from start to finish. Our waiter - owner treated us like we were very special. He had great recommendations and everything was made with top quality ingredients. The food portions were large and it was a great value. Definitely one of our best restaurant experiences in Portugal!

    Good food, excellent service. The atmosphere is more fast food than fancy restaurant, but the location is great.

    The waiter brought a pizza but instead of placing it in the table he gave it to my friend and as my friend has no space in the table and no visibility he dropped the limonade on himself. The waiter instead of bringing another lemonade yhey barely brought napkins. My friend had to order another lemonade and they charged us for that. It was akward because the lemonade was prepared by the house it wasnt a bottle and the cost of each glass was 3.5... Table service and food not good enough to bare this...

    We were the only ones in the restaurant. The server was very attentive, yet the food didn’t meet the high trip advisor ratings. I had to spend my meal picking bones out of my salmon. My husband had a beef dinner where the quality didn’t meet my expectations.

    The food was ok. Simple service. Prices high for what we ate; but it’s a touristy hence expensive zone. It’s not a Portuguese restaurant with traditional Portuguese food, despite the name and description.

    Terrible! We made a reservation for 12:30pm more than 1 month in advanced. We got there with our two kids: one of them is 3 years old, and there was not table outside. Inside smells horrible and the bathroom is right next to the kitchen and opens up to the dining room. They set a temporary table outside for us to wait for an outdoor table to be free. After 30 mins one table outdoors got free and they gave the table to a family that just had come. We left pissed and hungry. Don’t go there. The food I saw in other tables was also not very good looking

    Good food. Casual restaurant. We tried a variety of dishes - sardines, pizza, risotto and paella. Everyone was happy. The environment was much more casual than we expected. Staff was friendly.

    Service was excellent. The charcuterie board and cod fish cakes were wonderful, but the cod and bream main dishes not so much. They tasted mushy and raw.

    Lovely welcome, staff were attentive but didn’t hover and were very friendly and helpful. I tend to be put off by photo menus but the food was delicious. They made me a Bacalhau a Bras and it was fantastic! Would highly recommend.

    All dishes we ordered were really good and delicious. The owner was really friendly even though she was by herself for the entire restaurant and sometimes had to help the kitchen out

    Great first meal in Lisbon. Located in the heart of Alfama with both outside and in door dinning.

    We had best dinner during out stay in Lisboa. Everything was perfect and loved them all. Especially the grilled cod fish was amazing. They were tender and flavorous! Staffs were very kind. They served us with kindness and gave free bowl of soup for my kids. They were friendly and worked with smile. It’s also good for family because the space is friendly to kids. My family really enjoyed all dinner time and very satisfied. Of course highly recommend and will visit if we visit Lisbon again. Thanks!

    It was the perfect kind of place I needed with my kids. Just a shame they had not dessert ice cream or Tiramisu 😟

    Great place to eat fish for an affordable price ! The place is nice and the waiters are kind even tho the environment might be intimidating. The ratio price/quality is okay for lisbon even tho it is cooked with too much olive oil according to me. We had a nice time, the restaurant is perfectly located and perfect to have a break during the day. The prices are more or less 16€/dish and drinks are between 2 and 4 euros for a soda or a beer. We had a nice time, thank you
