The food was gorgeous, we sat at the bar in front of the kitchen and the chefs explained every dish to us, great experience. The food was stunning, particularly the gnocchi and the beef!! Highly recommend

There were 10 of us and we had a pleasant dinner at this restaurant. Most of the dishes were nice, with a few exceptions:

- 'bbq carrots' dish was just sliced carrots on the top of black tahini. Nothing more, that just sliced carrot. Not worth it.

- we had 8 octopus mini burgers and nobody tasted the octopus. The patty was made of minced fish, (maybe) octopus, which is impossible to taste. But it was tasty anyway.

- gnocchi tasted very interesting, but don't expect a common dish, very nice.

We have tried almost everything from the menu and it was tasty. Portions were not big, as expected, so take this into account.

My girlfriend and our friend were trying to find a place to eat last minute on a Thursday and had walked around for a while looking at several restaurants that were either full or off-putting in some way.

We stumbled across this one and even though there was a wait I can’t imagine a more perfect evening. We ordered the entire menu and every dish was sublime. The block lost power half way through our dinner and that just added to the overall experience of the evening.

This is a must-visit for anyone coming through Lisbon. I cannot adequately express how truly incredible this meal was.

Overall - 9/10 -  Amazing, the best quality of food within 50 euros. I'd come back to Lisbon just to go here again.

Atmosphere - 9/10 - Really good cozy feel.
Value for Money - 9/10 - Great quality for the price.

We tried several dishes recommended by the restaurant. The croquette was a fried meatball (not good at all), the gnocchi was too greasy. The cured fish was really thick and with a strong fish flavour, the sauce tasted like fish water. The octopus and the pork were good.
Service was very slow and inattentive
