Oh my Lord, the food is really great! And be prepared for some pretty massive portions. I ordered a veal steak and it was literally falling off the plate, it was so large.

But coming from a long day's travel with a hungry tummy, we decided to give it a try. We wanted to have authentic Lisbon food and host just decided two dishes for us - octopus and bacalhau. Delicious-ness at its best. Both dishes were well paired with root vegetables and sides that brought out the flavors of the dishes. Specially loved the tenderness of the octopus, it's well seasoned and sweet potatoes was the perfect contrast that elevated its flavour. The restaurant looks small and unassuming from the front. The owner brought us to the back and it's actually a house with several rooms converted into several dining areas. It's beautiful and has a distinct old European ambiance. A must try!

It's a big establishment that looks beautiful outside and inside. Our waiter was very observant, bringing another customer napkins when he saw the customer had spilled something on himself, and bringing us more bread when he saw we were almost done. However, he mixed up the combinations of our orders. The beef steak order was supposed to have Portuguese sauce with fried eggs but there were no eggs and it came with mustard sauce, which didn't taste as good as the Portuguese sauce. The chicken steak was supposed to come in mustard sauce and no fried egg but it was covered in Portuguese sauce topped with a fried egg. Pao Torrado Fatitas (bread) - .65 euros. 2 Manteiga, 2 Manteiga Alho (4 packs of butter)- 3.20 euros. The garlic butter was too addicting for my own good. The beef/chicken steaks drenched with either Portuguese or mustard sauce came with two free sides (rice, salad, etcand a fried egg for an extra charge. The chicken steak was only 9.95 euros while the beef steak was 15.60 euros. I absolutely loved the spinach purée side, it didn't sound appetizing but it was so bomb. Try dipping your fries in it! Overall, the chicken steak was a bit boring even with the sauce. They didn't have hamburgers left.

This was perhaps my favorite meal I had in Lisbon. The food here is delicious, unbelievable and…read moreincredible. Upon seating, you'll be served homemade bread with olives, cheese, hot and juicy sausage (I'm pretty sure it was the chourico assado). As our main meal, we ordered the sea bass, sardines, and French fries. Although it sounds like simple food, it was insanely fresh, hot, and delicious. We had a whole bottle of vinho verde, only amount to about 6 euros, and it was amazing. This place was filled with locals. If you're headed to Lisbon, go here. Go to the local places. You may just have one of the most memorable meal of your life

So I'm…read moregoing to assume my experience was totally different because of staff or just over time decline of service. But it completely soured my experience of Portugal. We wanted to try authentic homemade food and everything at first was great. They had olives and cheese placed on the table and then someone handed us some chorizo. They handed my husband the plate and said "chorizo really nice" and he placed it on the table. We looked confused said we didn't order it but he gestured to try it. We said thank you and went to order our food (basic and okay. Maybe 6/10. They didn't have half of the items we initially wanted to try) finished and got up to paid. The olives (which we didn't eat because I'm pregnant and they made me violently nauseous)cheese and chorizo (which I also can't have because it's cured meat) were surprisingly on our check. We mentioned we didn't order it, that it was on our table & they said "well you ate it". We assumed it was a nice gesture,and the attitude we got from that simple statement after asking about it changed their entire mood towards us. Then one of the staff said "they just don't want to pay". We didn't carry enough cash on us to pay the entire bill because of it and they immediately started accusing of being thieves. They told my husband to go get cash while I stayed behind as like collateral? We were traveling in another country and I'm pregnant, with no cell service. That's not happening so when we said no that's not an option they became more hostile and aggressive. You hear about scams on the streets but beware of this particular place that will trick you into paying more then get aggressive when you question the bill. MAJOR SKIP.

The service was efficient, if distant, and the server was an English speaker. I won't rush to come back but I think it deserves another chance.
