Reviews
The wine suggestion by the owner was very good. The service overall as well. We arrived a bit late, so we were the last to leave. The place has excellent outside seating setting, but it was a bit cold for us, so we preferred to sit inside. The overall atmosphere felt very romantic. Rating the food is always a challenge. It was very good, but we have had better. So 4/5 would be appropriate. Overall recommended.
We came across this restaurant by chance while strolling through the city, and it turned out to be a wonderful discovery. The food was excellent, very fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Combined with the warm and attentive service, it made for a truly enjoyable evening. A special thank you to Fernando for his kindness and hospitality. We highly recommend this restaurant and hope to return one day. Até um dia!
The location is very central and the place is very cute, the food was AMAZING especially the octopus, the white sangria was great too. The staff here is very caring and nice, and we even got a flower for Mother’s Day from the chef to my mom. I definitely recommend checking this place out it is great for a calm evening and atmosphere
Best food, service and atmosphere is Lisbon!! We had the most amazing food and drinks here, I cannot recommend enough, we went for the paella which was incredible, but everything we had was delicious! You have to get the sangria - it was fabulous. Thank you all for making it one of our best evenings in Lisbon and to our amazing waiter Fernando, whom was so accommodating to us with our food requests and kept checking in on us.
Really fantastic tapas restaurant with wide ranging options to choose from, we even came back at aperitivo time another day to enjoy a sangria. I will say the service can be tested when it gets busy (which I appreciate!!) and would recommend booking in advance as seems to be popular. We got lucky with a walk-in on our first night after arriving in Lisbon. If you have allergies, be careful. We mentioned about my +1's allergy and we thought the staff member took note and as they never said anything more, we assumed everything delivered was therefore safe. However, some of the food contained the allergen so I ended up having to eat for two! Just make sure to really emphasise your allergy if needed - which we should have done in hindsight! They were apologetic when I mentioned it.
