We had lunch here. The food was absolutely delicious and we particularly enjoyed the stews. The service staff were very friendly and really knowledgeable about wines in Portugal. I got to try many different types of Portuguese wine here.

Food is amazing, I can feel the hard work of chef to cook the local cuisines for all customers. Prawns & tuna are so fresh .
Grandma Stew is very special to me and my wife, we are from Taiwan, this kinda of flavor of pork is not so easy to find, the pork is stewed by beer , you can actually smell the aroma when waitress served it to the table.
The dessert is just unbelievable, pearl is so soft, then creamy source with nuts mix up. I bet no body can resist this dessert .
Highly recommend to come if you want to find a warming local restaurant.

Our first dinner in Lisbon, and it was a great one! 👍🏻

Staff were friendly upon our arrival, got a table for 2 without a reservation on a weekday around 530pm.

The grandmother stew was a pork knuckle of sorts, alongside some roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes! It was very flavourful, and the amount of meat is in abundance 😅

The fish and prawn rice was like a porridge/risotto to us, little bit of gravy to go along the rice - which delivered an amazing umami with each bite! The fish and prawns were both very fresh too, and it did came with some clams as well, supposedly for the flavour.

Sangria was good, the better one we had today. While the port ruby wine was a little too sweet for us.

Overall a great first experience and was glad we made it here for our first dinner! 👍🏻

Impressive!!!!
Highly recommend cataplana de peixe e gambas
It's shrimp head based sauce with seafood cod and prawn. So great!!! We finish all the soup inside. Also the porte wine and white wine are so fit with this dish. Wanna return again.
