When we arrived they tried to stick us at a really crappy table. I don't understand. We were both very well dressed, in our 60's and made it clear we were having dinner. I insisted on a better table. The restaurant was empty! We attracted at 7 pm as they opened. The food was crap from start to finish. Order bread? Of course this is a standard extra charge in Portugal. They brought two small rolls. Also ordered chicken pate. Yucky flavorless crap. Mushroom risotto a gummy mess with two mushrooms. Marinated cod dinner. Tasted microwaved! Service so rude. This place was empty, while every other restaurant along the way was packed. Now we know why. I am s very patient and forgiving diner but this place is a definite no go.

It's the best cooked octopus I've tried in Portugal, super tender and a nice char. A little on the expensive side, but great flavor. I wish it had more bell peppers on the side to add some sweetness. We also ordered tuna tartar, burrata with sun-dried tomatoes, and slow cooked veal. The tuna tartar was fresh but could have used some jam or freshness from some citrus. The burrata had a great creamy gazpacho sauce with fresh sun-dried tomatoes. And the veal had a nice tender wine flavor. The dessert was amazing, a trompe l'oiel lemon with lemon sorbet and a sweet cookie crumble. The lemon had a light chocolate crust and was filled with cream and lemon curd. Such a beautiful and tasty end to our meal.

And there were a series of small, minor issues that detracted from the experience. Bread course came warm, with a caramelized onion butter and some spicy bell pepper mayo that was ridiculously divine. This was my favorite course. Got the Cyber Punk tuna sashimi. Presentation was amazing. The tuna itself paired with the ponzu sauce was quite good. There were other elements like trout roe and crispy chicken skin, but the portions were sparse and I felt like the sauce drowned out their contribution a bit. Still a great dish though. Would order again. My main dish was the Vitela (braised veal). While the menu ostensibly presents these items for two to share, they can make half-portions of certain items, of which the Vitela was one. The meat was wonderfully tender. Flavor was had a slight tinge of bitterness and saltiness that didn't quite agree with me. Good dish overall. Service was kind and engaging. Possibly a bit too fussy over me for my American sensibilities, but they were very nice. The server knowledgeable about wine pairings and helped me pick out some for the courses I ordered. A couple of very minor issues here and there, like spilling some wine when pouring the glass, stuff like that. Also, the server shook my hand coming and going. Nice gesture but all I could think of was germs. Bathroom: Single-occupancy, upscale and nice. Toilet seat wouldn't stay up though. All in all, at decent restaurant but like I said, I had a bunch of small complaints that just added up, and it says a lot that my favorite course was the bread course. I would not repeat personally, but I think it might be worth a try for those that really love what's on the menu.

After our order was taken we were told the sommelier would help us choose our wine based on our order.

We ended the evening with a nice port and Sponge cake with sheep cheese ice cream......wonderful! Highly recommend this old world spot and get away from all of the tourist joints.

We had the cod fish stew and pork chop. The fish is seriously tough - I've never had codfish this chewy before. Portugal is supposed to be famous for cod but I didn't know it's the salted kind. Taste is ok but the fish is inedible. The pork was also pretty tough and the fries that came with it was soggy and limp. Price is average. Service is decent. It seems pretty popular as a local hangout also one that gets recommended a lot to foreign visitors but I find it rather disappointing.

I was focused on the bifanas that Portugal was known for. I skimmed the chalkboard out the door as we passed by and my hunger instincts were right. The restaurant was small and intimate seating was at par with eateries in the area. A lot of musical instruments and trinkets adorn the walls which made up for an interesting gaze fest as we waited for our food. Lunch rush was ongoing so we had to settle being sat at the bar. That's always a plus as we got to witness the buzzing crew efficiently feed the customers. We got 4 kinds of appetizers that our server recommended. They were all good but we liked the casserole baked dish the best. My wife and I shared a rice plate of the bifanas (spicy pork steak) with fries. For drinks, I got a bottled Compal juice while my wife got her afternoon macchiato. Our bill was a grand total of €17. I even corrected them as our bottle of water wasn't included in the chit. Not bad for a hole in the wall tavern. Good food and excellent service.
