Good food and ambiance. They have a tapas style menu, most of it is seafood. we were a group of 4 and were recommended to order about 6-7 plates. All of them very tasty. Would recommend a visit!

Amazing tapas style food, served by friendly knowledgeable staff. Would definitely recommend. The mackerel was out of this world, I've never tasted such delicious cabbage... each plate was a taste sensation. Excellent margaritas and a great wine list. We'll be back!

The evening started a little stressfully having sat down with the daily couvert and a water, we discovered the place was cash only. Luckily there was an ATM around the corner, however it didn't dispense any cash, so a return to the restaurant to get my wife to try. After another failed attempt to get cash I was ready to give up, however, we found another ATM which was behaving.

I was still half inclined not to go back, but we did and we're both pleased we did.

Firstly, I wasn't a fan of the table bread. A little too dense, a little too sweet. And while I'm on the not so goods, the wine servings per glass were a little erratic in sizes, though the wine itself (house white and red) was decent.

However, putting all the above aside, our meal was a highlight of our stay in Lisbon. We had half a dozen oysters, followed by an exquisite char grilled cabbage with Satay sauce (dish of our stay!), Carpaccio of beef, followed finally by a lovely goats cheese dish.

Desserts were a chocolate mousse and Portuguese style Ilse flottantes!

Staff were great, especially Barbara, who is clearly very passionate about her food. Price, including Wine around 75 Euro, which we thought was excellent value.

Stopped by for lunch early in my visit on a recommendation of a friend. Was so impressed by the food, service, and atmosphere that I returned on my last day. The menu is on a blackboard that the staff brings to your table. They then explain every dish to you and will make recommendations. Food is absolutely delicious and staff very attentive. It’s a small place so you may need to wait and it’s cash only, but there a number of ATMs around the corner in the Praça. Staff were fluent in multiple languages.

Not to be dramatic, but this was the weirdest and most awkward experience I've ever had in a restaurant. We sat down after queuing, and our waiter , the manager guy comes over with the specials . Half way through, he says, I am having a terrible day and looks on the verge of tears. Having worked as a waiter, i know it can be a rough job, so we empathise with him. He tries again , only this time he breaks again, saying hes the manager and he"s stressed because the new staff are not very good. I say, yeah it can be really tough training people. He has his head in his hands, and tries a third time, getting to the end of the menu, but he just snaps and says "ok expletive deleted you" and walks off . We are stunned and my partner is really upset. She wants to leave, but i suggest we stay because we've queued for an hour. The waiter comes back later sheepishly with a cocktail on the house he says for being a expletive deleted , which was appreciated, but the whole vibe now is incredibly weird. I've seen all kinds of waiters - lazy, grumpy, nervous and thats all normal but this was the most unprofessional thing I'd ever seen. I know how bad stress can be, but you can never , ever take it out on customers. Its the golden rule. Most of the reviews here are either 5 stars or 1, so it appears very much a gamble with this place. Scallops were nice .
