This felt like a very authentic and friendly neighborhood restaurant. We were treated as if we were guests at a dinner party at their place. We loved it. They made a small mistake with my food and brought the wrong dish, but they compensated with a free glass of wine and corrected it right away. We had their daily specials, codfish and octopus and the sausage and orange tapas that they recommended. This sausage dish was a delicious surprise. The octopus was sooooo good! Fair prices as well.

Stumbled across this in the neighborhood and let me tell you, it was a pleasant surprise. The octopus rice is warm, savory, and so tasty. I spent around $33 EUR for two dishes and sangria, totally worth the price and will definitely be back.

Don’t sleep on this place.  This was such an unassuming restaurant.  The food, the music, the staff- incredibly wonderful.
The mushrooms with lemon sauce was a pleasant surprise that left me wanting more with each bite I took.

Shrimp tempura with salad was fluffy and plump. It did not feel oily at all especially accompanied with the salad underneath.

We almost didn’t order the tuna steak sandwich but I’m glad I didn’t go down that timeline- simply fantastic.

It was very very good! I started with a Caipirinha and some spicy olives for the aperitif. For main course, I got their special Tuna Sandwich with a side of tomato salad. The Tuna Sandwich is so amazing with the caramalized onions 😋😋 and to finish a nice glass of Porto. We had entertainment during the whole evening. The service and staff is excellent. I really really recommend this place.

This place is my favourite in Lisbon! If you visit the city, you must eat here. The place is super cosy and local and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Authentic and delicious food that you won't regret! I am not a seafood fan and I loved three seafood dishes. 😋

I highly recommend the Codfish Falafel, Octopus salad, and the tuna steak sandwich.

The price is very reasonable and affordable for the quality of the dishes.

Once again, you must eat here. Highly recommended 👌
