“ Great food with large portions. But it was too crowded and they charged more than priced for no reason, which was a bit annoying. They miscalculated the number of breads as well and charged more. That was not a lot of money but it made you feel not so good. ”
“ Found this gem of spot for dinner from a local. I was dining alone and ate at the counter. Made friends quickly. Friendly atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed every bite. My wine choice, Vinho Verde which was a perfect pairing with my shrimp sautéed with garlic & olive oil. …and of course the bread for dipping the tasty sauce. Savory. Simple, yet each ingredient fresh, zingy and treat for your taste buds. Authentic fresh delicious Portuguese food. Relax atmosphere. A must go to if you find yourself in Lisbon Portugal. ???????? ”
“ Probably my favourite restaurant in Lisbon. Full of life and local and chaotic, flavourful fish and well balanced with potatoes and vegetables. I had sardines, like a proper tourist visiting Portugal. Absolutely recommended to everyone who wants to enjoy a truly local environment and doesn't mind crowded and noisy places. ”
“ Highly recommend this local spot! If you’re visiting Portugal, you absolutely have to try the seafood — and this place is a perfect choice. The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly affordable. I can’t comment on the meat, but when in Portugal, seafood is a must, and this restaurant does it right. Also, don’t miss the red sangria — it was excellent. A great local experience — definitely worth a visit! ”
