It's a decent view past that, since it overlooks the Parça do Comercio. The service was decent. They were pleasant and were helpful with people who only knew a few Portuguese words. The prices were high for Portugal. We paid 110 euros per person. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant. It felt like a tourist trap with high prices, and low quality meat. When we were all done every person had chewed and spit out portions of the beef that wasn't edible. Such better options off the main roads.

Skip the bread so at to have room for steak and fries. The wine selection is superb. The service amazing but not overly fussy. This is bistro food. So no frills but that is what makes it extraordinary! Tip: watch what others order, point politely and say: "Ishto, obrigada!"

Cana Verde is situated in what used to be the sailor and fisherman market district and while many of us (locals and tourists alike) opted to have a sit down lunch, there were many workers who popped in for a bite or coffee quickly at the counter. Very legit. Since sardines are what Portugal is all about, I ventured a try and ordered the Sardinhas Assadas (grilled sardines). These were served whole, brilliantly seasoned with potatoes, salad, oil & vinegar and fresh bread. These were big' ol sardines, about 6-8 inches long. They were piping hot. Since they were cooked and served whole, all manner of fish guts spilled out and I just tried really hard to think that I was getting my Omega 3's while scooping up the fish bits. The richness/oiliness/flavor of the dish was quite intense, and I really had to try to make it through three of the four sardines. Luckily, the half-bottle of vinho verde I ordered made it easier to wash down the fishes. I chose this restaurant because when I passed by I could see chickens roasting in one window, and a group dining robustly with mountains of plates of fishbones. I knew I would regret it if I didn't go in. Glad I did, glad I tried the sardines, but to be 100% honest, I wish I tried the chicken..the other house specialty. Will never forget this experience!
