I stayed in an AirBnB above this restaurant in October 2023. I decided to stay close by for dinner my first night and really loved it. It did not feel super touristy at all. The seafood was well prepared and reasonably priced. I like it so much, I went back again the night before I left! Recommended!

We came with a food tasting group and it was fabulous. This family harvests their own olives and makes their own olive oil. Due the the drought this year, they weren’t able to make any, but we were fortunate to taste from their reserves. Excellent food, nice vibe! For an extra treat, it’s located next to the narrowest street in Lisbon!

Visited this place on a food tour, so we were able to try a few different items. The cod cakes were delicious. And I normally don't like sardines, but these were pretty good. Some good wine as well. Definitely recommend a visit!

Great food and I'm soooo fussy. Best burger ever in 51years!! Great coffee too. They do service a more adventurous menu though, minutes from ships, in fact heading to one now for 10 days.

Came here as part of a food tour when I visited Lisbon three(?) years ago, made such an impression on me that I revisited once I moved to Lisbon. Always brings lovely memories when I pass the restaurant. The fish cakes and tomato rice were delicious. Lovely restaurant and very kind staff. Their olive oil is also amazing.
