Classic traditional cusine with few well prepared signature dishes. Quality and Quantity good value for money.
Traditional Portuguese cuisine done well, but I feel like you can get this type of food just about anywhere in Portugal. The only drawback is how hot the restaurant was with not enough air conditioning. Family who lives in Lisbon seems to have really appreciated the food otherwise.
The best meal of our trip to Lisbon! We’re so glad we made the effort to visit this restaurant. It’s located outside the main tourist areas, but getting there is easy and affordable with a taxi or Bolt. The place has a sense of history, and most of the diners are locals—a great sign. Every dish was expertly prepared and full of flavor, surpassing all the other restaurants we tried during our five days in Lisbon.
A famous place to visit if in Lisbon! I ordered the special meat option, and I'm glad I did. Super tender and flavoursome. Good value and menu with speciality dishes. Good choice of wines and cocktails too. Staff were friendly and we didn't have to wait too long for our orders to be taken. The fresh bread and butters were delicious too. One to visit!
We didn't have a reservation and went on a Monday, ringed the doorbell and I gotta say the first person who I talked to was not friendly. Our experience completely changed after being welcomed by the other waiter who helped us all night, along the 2 other ladies. I had the amazing bacalhau na brasa and the rest of the table chose the duck, which was well cooked and came in a great combination with the rice and chorizo.
The best restaurant in Lisbon for the “typical & comfort” Portuguese food. Service is also the best ! As starter please have the “bacalhau patanisca”, a must-eat! But best is definitely “Pato corado com arroz”, the Portuguese “like risotto” with duck. The “lombo” beef also outstanding. To finish, as a desert, try “montanha russa”, a bit sweet but worth’s the calories
