The food was superb with a large selection of appetizers and main courses we filled the table with everything from steak to clams and even octopus. The octopus was my favorite from the entire trip to Lisbon. The service was excellent and kept our Sangria flowing. The restaurant is not huge but every seat was occupied and the staff were friendly and helpful with the large lunch crowd. We will certainly return next time we are in town.

We went for the onion soup, which in my opinion, was the best part of the meal. For main, we had what was a traditional Brazilian dish, mainly because they didn't have a compelling seafood option as part of the lunch deal. All in all, the menu looked good, but I felt that it didn't truly embrace the local seafood dishes. The range was a bit limited as well. Service was pretty prompt and good. Our food cafe out on time, and everything flowed smoothly. Ambience was cozy and quite literally a hole in the wall. We sat outdoors, which was nice on a breezy spring day like today.

The ambiance was inviting, with warm lighting and a vibrant atmosphere that buzzed with conversation--perfect for unwinding after a long day. I was greeted warmly and seated at the bar--my favorite spot. Within minutes, I had a glass of wine, and the server guided me through the menu with excellent recommendations. The best part? You can choose your steak cut right before ordering, adjusting it to your appetite. The staff, including the chef, were incredibly friendly and engaging, adding to the welcoming vibe. Pro tip: in Portugal, Medium Rare is more like Blue Rare, so ask for Medium if you want a true Medium Rare. Can't wait to come back!

I just went to this restaurant in February of 2019. I selected a buffet and meat option for 23.99€…read more That option included meat from Brazil if I recall correctly. There are al la cart options and 2 other buffet options with meat. I believe you can also just do the salad bar. A 2L sangria was 15€. The staff was very attentive. Even if you turn your indicator to red they might still come to your table. One waitress brought french fries and fried bananas, they complemented the meats well. I was also surprised how much I liked the hot pineapple they offered. Deserts were extra. My server said they had chocolate cake but what I got was a different consistency than cake I was expecting, it was still very delicious. They opened at 7pm on a Tuesday.

I think the first time I tried piri piri chicken was just a few years ago in London at a hugely…read morepopular chain, Nando's. It's rotisserie chicken doused with a spicy hot sauce so what's not to like? I knew it was a Portuguese-originated dish, so I looked for a place famous for it. Here on a Sunday evening, there was quite a queue extending up the cobblestone alley, so I realized this must be the place. Although it was at least thirty people deep, it didn't take more than twenty minutes for Jamie W and me to secure a table upstairs. It was a homestyle dining room set-up that hovered between cozy and crowded depending on the fluctuating volume level. Interestingly all the servers were male, and while ours was the most junior, he consciously followed the behavior of his veteran brethren. There was no question about our main course, the 13,5€ Frango Assado No Espeto (Roast Chicken on the Spit) (Photo 7). It was tender and succulent enough albeit a bit under seasoned, all the more reason to pour a liberal dose of the piri piri sauce (Photo 8). Our sides were simple but shareable, the 3,2€ Batata Fritta (French Fries) (Photo 9) and the 4,3€ Salada Mista (Mixed Salad) (Photo 10). Both were fine, though we really wanted to try their Cream Spinach. They were already out of it in the kitchen. We were quite satisfied nonetheless, and their service pretty much worked like clockwork. Jamie and I agreed we'd definitely come back if the passion for poultry strikes us on a return trip to Lisbon. In the meanwhile, I'll just do a run to Costco, buy a rotisserie chicken, and dream of Portugal. FOOD - 4 stars...succulent poultry with a unique spicy kick AMBIANCE - 4 stars...like an old-fashioned dining room in a Portuguese home SERVICE - 4.5 stars...they move quickly and courteously TOTAL - 4 stars...a Lisbon institution worth checking out RELATED - Exploring Lisbon?

The dishes were cooked deliciously and the sides complemented well. The meat cuts were the perfect amount of fat and lean meats. It was juicy and cooked to perfection! Would recommend the filet mignon and the pincanha steak. Our sides were mashed potatoes and vegetables, I recommend the mashed potatoes! The complimentary appetizer was a nice start to the meal as well. Skip the bread basket since they charge $$ pp. For a Friday night though the place was empty and there weren't many local individuals only tourists visiting. One thing to add is this place is definitely pricey, but do think it's an average spot to eat at. Docking a star since I wasn't blown away by the taste of my meal but think it was an average steak restaurant to go to. Note: The restaurant is considered a RESY restaurant however they do not accept AMEX cards (which is common in Portugal). Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Taste: 4/5
