10/10A small, quaint restaurant with a limited menu, but a true gem. The food was delicious, the server was warm and friendly, we loved her wine recommendation and ordered a 2nd bottle. The chocolate mouse was rich and creamy. And the Fado performers, 2 guitarists, one of whom also sang, were wonderful. Felt like an authentic Portuguese experience.

10/10The food was delicious and I loved hearing the musicians perform. The music was moving and made for a really nice experience. It started out fairly empty but filled up by the last set. I was too full to eat more but I wanted to try everything on the menu! The service was exceptional and the chef even checked in about how my experience was! I’d definitely recommend!

10/10A hidden gem among Lisbon's restaurants in the famous Alfama. A short, well-thought-out menu - Portuguese cuisine with a modern twist at its best. Very nice owner who will talk, advise and offer delicacies. The desserts were amazing!
