My friends and I went to this restaurant as it’s our first time in Lisbon. We found this restaurant when walking and it was an amazing surprise. We ordered the lunch menu and it exceeded all expectations. The pumpkin soup was the perfect start to the meal. Then came the massada de camarão that came with flavors I’ve never tasted. The croquetes de carne were bursting with flavor and came with a delicious mustard sauce. The dessert, serradura, was the best indulgence for ending the meal. I recommend this restaurant with my eyes closed. Shoutout to Pedro, the executive chef for being so welcoming and explaining each component. This is a 10 out of 10 — hands down, my favorite spot in Lisbon! It’s an absolute must-visit. The food is unbelievably delicious, the atmosphere is charming and quiet, and it’s one of those places where you feel totally comfortable having a good conversation. We were lucky to get a table, and we ordered a bunch of different dishes — honestly, every single one was out of this world. But if you go, definitely try the pork. It was next-level 🙌 Our hotel recommended this restaurant, and it turned out to be an incredible experience. We'll definitely be coming back. Just a heads-up—they only accept cash. The waiter's menu suggestions were spot on, and we thoroughly enjoyed the octopus balls, piglet, cauliflower, woodpecker steak, and chocolate mousse."

Restaurant has good ambience,, atmosphere and gd vibes. Diego was really warm and helpful. Food wise, was a little over hyped. It was on the salty side for most dishes.

This is an overrated place. I booked a table for two and since I arrived the host had an arrogant attitude pretending he was very busy and made us wait fir a while, when I confirmed the reservation to him we got a table, but during the dinner, I noticed the place was empty, only one more table and mine. This place sales expensive tapas as if it was a luxury restaurant but the food is very basic nothing exceptional. They served red wine in the same glass I had white wine before, the same thing happened with my plate it was a mixture of all flavors of the tapas I ordered so be prepared to taste fish juice with, meat and mustard simultaneously if you ask for this kind of tapas. They asked me if I wanted dessert when I was missing one of my tapas which arrived very late. BTW they only receive cash, even that we were advised beforehand just so you know. You can find many other better options for this price.
