Came here twice, and I can't recommend enough this place enough. Order from the chef's menu and you can't go wrong. Arroz con Leche (rice pudding) was divine. Same with the chocolate mousse. I not even a dessert guy but they were both bomb. I had the mixed seafood platter and tuna steak. Both excellent. Omg. This is the best food experience I have had in a long time!! I am a true foodie and I am very happy to announce...this is it! The real thing!! Flavours are exquisite! Such purity of taste!!!!!! I have come here twice in three days, it truely is that good! I have had: the octopus salade (absolute perfection; Such flavor such taste, so tender! So fresh!) The black pig (i have no words..it is so so so amazingly good and that is an understatement, I would have licked the plate if I would have been alone 😅) and a dish with cabbage that was surprising and delicious and the second time I came I got the chocolate mouse as desert. Because if the main food is this good...desert must also be, right. I was not dissapointed!! Yes I was so happy. The tasteful herbs, the exactly right cut of seasalt, such details of taste and freshness and this mouse; It was everything a real mouse should be. Real beautiful chocolate (none of that nonsense they call cacao fantasy) and enough of it, deliciously fluffy, made with real eggs, and especially wonderful soft texture and orgastic delicious. Thank you for this experience. If I would have stayed more days, i would have come back to taste even more of this food! The prawns with garlic were delicious. The octopus was nice, however it was a bit hard to cut. It felt like it was re heated as it was a bit rubbery. It was hard to get the attention of servers at times and it all felt very abrupt and rushed, the space is very crammed It feels very tight. It was a bit expensive at over €30 per person for what it was… it was nice but the casual/crammed atmosphere doesn’t justify that price in my opinion!

Small restaurant hidden up a staired alley with amazingly good food. Packed tight filled with graffiti wall and colorful tables - befitting to its owner, Marie's life story (see the menu). The salad was unpretentious good. The grilled octopus was excellent. The sardines were fresh and delicious. The bread pudding, her dessert specialty was homely good. It was one of the best meal we had in Lisbon! We came again and were greeted by another round of equally delicious meal of seafood. Highly recommend it!

Food was great. Multiple signs said cash only but they did accept card. Must stress size of place -tiny place with tiny tables and chairs. You have to move tables to get in/out of the chairs. I would not recommend if you are taller or wider as it would be very uncomfortable to sit and enjoy your meal. If you can get outdoor table or upstairs seating then def go in and enjoy. Sadly they were out of the duck rice that reviews rave about, but the shrimp rice meal was good. Soupier than expected. Garlic shrimp app was best we had on our Portugal trip. Friend had the mixed meat platter and it was really good. Neighboring tables loved the rice pudding. The chocolate mousse dessert was the richest and fudgiest I've ever had. Its rare I don't finish a dessert because its too rich but this was one.
