Back again after 3 yrs and the place still wows!…read more Always freshly made and never frozen. Service quick and efficient. Free water for diners. Place still looks the same. Always buzzing with activity , open kitchen where you can see the tarts being baked and slowly coming out. Quality is still top notch. Nothing like it anywhere in the world. Portuguese must have for sure. Only 1.5 euro each. Can't beat that. Cheaper by the dozen of course. Lol. Will always repeat when in Lisbon

The first recommendation was fresh Mussels for our appetizer. It had thr most delicious lemon sauce and was well over two dozen of the crustaceans. For our main course, I had the Portuguese Paella, which was saucer, and has Crab, Mussels and Clams. The other upsell was fresh Grilled Swordfish. No exaggeration, but the Swordfish was the best we had ever tasted! Our server skillfully separated for fillets from the bones skillfully. Rhe Swordfish was buttery and melted in your mouth. The Paella was naturally messy, but top notched, flavorful and a large portion. We are planning to return to try more of the restaurant's offerings.

This came with a side of veggies to eat with the fish if you do not like the salt taste. Fried octopus: this comes grilled with onions, and potatoes.

Will definitely be getting these again on the trip. Overall: service was quick, clean and delicious!

I stumbled upon…read morePica Pau while meandering back to my hotel after realizing that the restaurant I was originally planning to eat lunch at was closed on Thursdays. It was getting a wee bit late for lunch (~1:30 PM), and I was quite hungry, so when I passed by Pica Pau and saw how packed it was, I knew I had to drop by to give it a try. It's absolutely bustling inside; there are several tables inside and outside, and you can generally just seat yourself as long as there's an open slot. There are very few tourists here -- another great sign -- so the menus will all be in Portuguese, and it will be hit or miss as to whether your server can translate for you. However, the menu is pretty simple, so it's easy enough to intuit what they say (or to just use Google Translate) -- the menu is spread across three blackboards, one for daily specials, another for seafood, and the last for other meat dishes. Everything is just twelve euros for lunch, and it also comes with a drink and bread. You genuinely can't go wrong with anything on their menu. My mom and I both ordered from their seafood menu, and the fish is super fresh and grilled to perfection. It has a perfect char on the outside, and is super flaky and tender on the inside; they add a hit of salt and a side of lemon, but the fish honestly doesn't need much else. The fish also comes with a side of boiled veggies and potatoes, which are a great, neutral accompaniment to the fish. I ordered the swordfish, and my mom got the sea bass, but we ended up splitting both of the dishes between us (especially since they both conveniently came with two pieces). Both were phenomenal, but I did enjoy the swordfish a tiny bit more; it was a bit more tender, and they also descaled the swordfish but did not for the seabass, so it was a slightly easier eating experience.

The cod cakes are oddly pricey by themselves (as many others have noted) and are heavily upsold with even pricier beer/wine. The alcohol was all mediocre so we firmly declined. You pay the cashier for what you'd like to get and then take a ticket with your paid order to the counter for fulfillment. The cashier said that most people prefer the cheesy variety. We stubbornly opted for one plain and one with cheese and quickly regretted both buying the plain... and getting two. The plain cod cake was bland, dry, and salty. The cheese version was moist and savory and clearly the better of the two. I think this chain thrives exclusively on hype, the temptingly easy portability of each "cake," and being located inside the main tourist parts of town. I would never get another one. Is it worth throwing €5 away on a small, fist-sized fish croquette to put your curiosity at ease? Probably not, but I realize I have had the luxury of trying one before disparaging them.
