We started with the cheese plate and bread. The dips the bread came with were heavenly. And everything on the cheese plate has a purpose to merry together with each other.

The restaurant got quite busy shortly after we arrived. It's a bit cramped inside, but there's the option to sit outside if you prefer a little more space. I had mixed feelings about the taste of this dish. It definitely leans heavily on the salty side and has a noticeable oiliness. The flavor leaves a lingering, calm saltiness in your mouth.

My husband loved the salad dressing and I loved the garlic cooked cabbage. Who knew simple seasonings could go such a long way? We also got a bottle of their Electrico Ze de Mouraria- a nice light white that pairs well with the fish. We sat outside; the weather was perfect and the buildings provide enough shade so that there's no struggling to see. We enjoyed our meal a lot!

Both times service was great, atmosphere is wonderful whether you eat outside or their gorgeous inside room. For lunch we ordered the cod fish baked à braz, the grilled calamari, and the black linguine with shrimp. Great portions, great value. The next time around we got their outstanding codfish fritters and the fried green beans which we Portuguese call "garden fishes." Just like my mom used to make them. Make sure to stop there and try some traditional Portuguese cuisine with some modern twists.

We got seated pretty quickly and we were very happy that there were multiple umbrellas up because the sun was definitely shining brightly that day. We saw some of the specials recommended by Yelp and chat GPT and decided to get some small tapas that were local to the area. A lot of them were with tuna and octopus. And they were very very delicious small portions which was great for us because we didn't want to have too much of a heavy meal as we were going to have a big dinner later on Service was spot on. We had three separate servers come check on us throughout our hour and 45 minutes there. Very pleasant, big smiles on their faces, and we're very quick to see if we needed any extra items. We were happy with our overall experience and prices, even though in a touristy area, were reasonable if you focused on the topaz and a bottle of wine.

This is a…read morelarge house of many darkly painted rooms that were not at all dim due to some bright lighting, no real artwork. Books & vintage typewriters. Lots of space but many of the 2 seater table face in a direction of no view of the room. Can I mention the "walk" here was monumental ? Insanely steep and up up up. A Bolt back was reasonable enough not to miss this place if you are not close by. We walked from near the Baixa/Chiado station. The food, absolutely superb. Exactly what I would expect what a Michelin Star venues would serve. Service exceptional. I think that the highly regarded Roasted Eggplant with Miso Caramel & Pistachio was one of the best dishes of my life, and I am not always a fan of eggplant. This was a firm block of roasted eggplant with a volcano like coating of this insanely crazy umami-sweet-decadent sauce. Honestly, if we lived here I would frequent just for this as an entrée and not share it one bit. For mains, we shared the duck leg confit, barley & mushrooms and the black pork neck, shrimp, white beans and coconut milk. Dessert for Lee was the eucalyptus and also the basil mint ice creams and mine, which makes me giddy, was a chocolate soup (was like a think pudding) with peanuts and passion fruit daquiri mousse..topped with pop rocks. The food here is a work of art without being fussed over, imaginative and well executed. Unsure how anyone could fault one aspect at all other than the uncozy atmosphere in the rooms without a fabric chair or couch. Highly recommended !!

Thanks yelp to leading us to this old school restaurant for our first dinner in Lisboa…read more A tasty mixed salad, pasta (is it squid ink) with perfectly cooked seafood and grilled octopus leg. Wow, the octopus is just perfectly cooked and seasoned. Melt in my mouth delicious. The pasta was also cooked perfectly with a couple of mussels, clams, shrimps and scallops on to of the neatly displayed pasta. Okay, it all cooked perfectly. The scallops were so sweet and tasted we if they came straight from the water, which they probably did that morning. The simple salad was fresh and refreshingly light. I loved the crunch of the sea salt that was mixed in. Crunch crunch For me, everything was a bit too salty and despite this, still I ate it all! Don't let the looks of this place deceive you!

Very interesting experience overall, wouldn't recommend…read more First good point: we had a reservation but were thirty minutes early and they were able to seat us immediately. Two meals were incredible, two meals were awful. Incredible: fish of the day and pork cheeks. Awful: tenderloin Trindade (cold, undercooked, chewy, much waste), meat croquette (like deep fried baby food, little taste, tomato rice tastes good but was watery). Ambiance: it was noisy! They struggled to take cash and we felt like we were in a shell game with all the back and forth. Eventually we accepted being short changed by a couple of euro just to get out.
