Reviews
So I ordered fried salmon. the food is decent, not much oil like in some other places. The fish was well fried, not charred, with grill marks. I can say that it probably required some small sauce. But probably that's not a genuine portuguese way of serving it, I agree. Vegetables were good but here as well I would also prefer just a tiny bit more texture = a couple of crunchy leaves or something like this. Just felt a bit incomplete. So i would recommend taking a salad with it. Staff is helpful and nice. Place itself is good for a quick lunch after stopping the streets of lisbon. I think they mentioned that they got AC inside.
We have recently visited this restaurant and tired the Seaman's Platter, Seafood rice, Grilled Sea bass, Seafood Cream soup, Garlic prawn and Greek Salad. Every dish are too much delicious and they served it in a proper manner. The staff are also so friendly. I just love this place.
We were served by Dhruba and Paulo and had a really good meal. They were warm, friendly and made good recommendations on what to order as we were unfamiliar with Portuguese cuisines. Not pushy, just honest suggestions 😊
We stopped here for lunch while on a tour of Cascais. We sat outside so the view of the street was quiet. Our server was very nice and brought out the drink and appetizers relatively quickly. We ordered garlic prawns and Spanish style mussels. Both were delicious (though the prawns looked like regular sized shrimp and not what we were expecting) and the sauces for both were the best part of our whole meal. Very flavorful and well prepared. My husband got the cod fish and I got the octopus. The cod was very tender but literally tasted like butter. The octopus was very chewy and almost impossible to eat. The boiled potatoes on the side didn’t taste seasoned but they were cooked through. My husband also had a side of potatoes and bok choy, which he said didn’t taste like anything. The bathrooms were very small and unable to close the door, so I had to hold it shut while using it. The bathrooms were clean. The portion sizes of the food were small considering the cost. The appetizers were so delicious but the entrees were very bland, it’s almost like they were cooked by different chefs.
