The food should not be missed. Their strombolis are named after characters from the Mario Bros games, and the yoshi is to die for. We had a focacia sandwich, too, and on both dishes, the bread is so fresh, it just hits the spot. For drinks, the classic negroni is solid, but their creamy drinks are next level. I am wondering if they use fresh home-made cream because it is worth the price alone. The Irish coffee is a decadent treat, and their take on a white russian is the best we've ever tried. How to describe the ambiance? It is like finding a frog-themed library that has a bar inside, and the bar has a rock music theme. It sounds confusing, but somehow it works like magic.

They were short handed and I think they didn't really want to take us in but did. We were extremely grateful. They said it may take some time for our food to come out. We chanced it as reviews raved about this place. Also, we don't have reservations. The ambiance was great, staff was great, owner was amazing, and the food was really good. I highly recommend this place BUT I would make reservations. We learned this the hard way but got extremely lucky. We made sure to tip really well. I highly recommend this place and big thank you to the owner for taking us in.

A week in Portugal, this was my favorite place. If there were a Michelin system for casual little…read moreplaces this would be a Three Star. The food (wife) was absolutely phenomenal and the service (husband) was casual but attentive like a fine dining restaurant. The dishes were from all over Portugal like such as Cape Verdian beef; sheep cheese on toast; smoked duck with orange slices; grilled shrimp. It's about a 20 minute walk from the center of Sintra, which for the record completely empties out after the day trippers are gone.

They did not really explain the difference between tawny, ruby, late bottled vintage...etc. somewhat expensive as well, found the same glass, a 20 and 30 year vintage, for ten Euros less at Time Out market. Oh well, it was a cold and rainy day so at least we warmed up.

It's not too noisy in here. They also serve a cheese platter and olives if you want to snack on something. Pricing wise, it was about 4-4.5 Euros for a glass of wine or ginga. I like that they will give you a taste before pouring you a full glass to make sure that you are happy with your choice. Keep in mind that they only accept cash.

First off, you need to make a reservation. The restaurant is small and very popular. I was able to…read moremake a reservation for the same day though, because luckily Portugal had a World Cup match that night. We sat inside the cantina side. Our server was adorable and bubbly with a great sense of humor. She did get really busy though toward the end of our meal and it was a challenge to flag her down for our check. With that said, she provided exceptional service earlier. This is the kind of place you want to go to with others who love tasting a variety of dishes. I went with my family who is not into that concept, and so I had to choose just one dish that I would not be sharing, as no one else wanted to share theirs either. Some of the dishes were quite small, but mine was not! I ordered the octopus which was cooked to perfection and had a mix of potatoes and greens underneath. Would definitely order this again! It was one of the best octopus dishes I've ever had. The one thing we did share was the croquettes. They were delightful, but kind of expensive as they were 1.70Euros each and were literally one bite, but a very flavorful bite at that. I also had a few glasses of their summer sangria which I rather enjoyed. I would return here when in Cascais again, but maybe with a different group of people so that we can treat it as tapas as it should be instead of individual dishes. There's so much more I want to try from their menu!

My wife and I did not have a reservation but were able to get seated inside (small inside area but…read moreit was chill). We split 3 dishes and definitely couldn't do a 4th as the portions were perfect to share. Dishes we ordered were the octopus with Migas, the wild crispy shrimps and the Ze Povinho which is black pork cheeks slow cooked in red wine. The octopus was incredibly tender and served over potatoes that had a lot of flavor. The shrimps were 4 large (prawns not sure why they were called shrimo?) were fried but nice and juicy. The puree of the avocado and mango with the prawns was a winning combo! We were both pretty full but ate every bit of the pork beef cheeks which was served with au gratin potato that had a hint of dill in it which I was surprised I like as I'm not a huge dill fan.. Once we got to this spot and this are in general we knew it was the place to be at. Monday evening and packed!
