Skip the bread so at to have room for steak and fries. The wine selection is superb. The service amazing but not overly fussy. This is bistro food.

Do it!

We came around 1:30pm, as hot as it can get in the middle of the summer so we decided to wait for a table to be seated inside. We waited about 5-10mins and were often updated with the wait time. We ordered 2 kids meal, chicken strips and fries in which my kids devoured them in no time, and also 2 fish soups, 1 salad and 2 entrees for 4 adults to share (as it was too hot and we weren't very hungry). The fish soup was delectable. It was rich in flavor but not overly creamy or heavy. Bouillabaisse is indeed one of my favorite and a must get while I'm in France. For their nicoise salad, the veggies were fresh and crisp, with just the right amount of olive oil and balsamic glaze on top. For entrees, we ordered the sea bass with ratatouille and rice. I was expecting nicely lined vegetables which don't happen but the sea bass was perfectly cooked with crispy skin, moist and tender meat that just flakes apart easily. My kids ended up stealing most of our fish. The ratatouille was very flavorful, perfect to be eaten with rice. The cod was one of their specials for the day and it was also perfectly cooked: moist and tender. Their service was very quick and attentive. Some people may not like it being too quick and specially in Europe but we like it especially when we didn't want to spend too much time eating and more time for sightseeing. The only complaint is the AC is a little weak but this is common in most of the places in Europe. Overall, food is excellent with superb service. Price was a little higher than other restaurants in Lisbon but it is expected given its location. We enjoyed our lunch and would recommend it to anyone to enjoyed French cuisine.

This distinctly French place is just a short hop from the Boca do Inferno and Cascais. Owner Pierre-Marie and his daughters deliver an excellent example of great French cuisine without ever having to leave the country. For lunch a our group of three all chose the menu of the day which included a vegetable soup as an appetizer, a fillet of St. Pierre fish (John Dory in English) as the main course and a Pear in wine sauce for dessert. The fish fillet was absolutely spectacular, very delicate, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning. The fish was accompanied by potatoes and courgettes (zucchini) which complemented the fish in taste. The poached pear in wine sauce was da' bomb - I am not usually a fruit guy, but I have to admit that it was really exceptional. The dish was very well executed, the flavors were balanced, not too much wine nor tartness nor sweetness everything was perfect. My first visit to the bistro but certainly not my last, well worth the trip here.

Cozy homey decorated in red walls and black white photos of French life in the 1950's. Our waiter was the owner. Lovely older gentleman who was very pleasant and attentive throughout. We shared 14 euro rose which was average. Excellent selection of well priced French wines and a little pricier than typical for Portuguese wines. Appetizer shared fois gras mi cuit. I believe 12 euros. Large portion of cold fois gras served with tasty salad fig compote and toast points. Tasty beginnings. Mains confit of duck served with sautéed potatoes. 14 euro Duck breast with potatoes baked with cream and cheese. Both well seasoned adequate portions. Wish duck breast cooked less but was perfect medium.Dessert had apple tart. Overall nothing extraordinary but comfort French bistro food and a nice option if you become tired of never ending similar standard Portuguese options.

Honestly, I can't tell you what everyone else had as it was so long ago, but I had the steak and fries and I was in HEAVEN.

STAY AWAY - unbelievably bad and cocky waiter - we walked out…read more This is only the second time in my life that we walked out of a restaurant. We had reservations and looked forward to a good dinner. Pics and reviews were promising. We were greeted by a waiter (possibly french, by his accent) and got pointed (and not walked) to our table. So far - so good....bad? Then we were completely ignored. Some other guest kept coming in, got welcomed, got walked to the table....and got the food and drink menu. And shortly later their drinks. We were stuck at our table. Nobody brought the menu card, nobody asked if we want drinks or anything. The waiter and the waitress (looked new and a bit lost) kept walking by, looking at us - clearly seeing we didn't have anything on our tables yet - not even the menu. But still kept ignoring us. After about 15mins we walked to the bar to get the menu ourselves. Items looked really good (and also judging by what we have seen on other guests plates). Nothing happened for another 10min or so. The the waiter came to ask if we have aldready made up our minds and are ready to order. Ummmmm.....that's the first time you've even talked to us. We didn't even get the drinks menu yet. So he brought the drinks menu. Shortly later he wanted to know our decision. Wait buddy, we just got the menu card. He acted so cocky and behaved like he was better than us (like I said....french accent, no surprises). Other guests got a warm welcome, staff explained the menu, gave recommendations and got serve quickly and friendly. We just got parked at our table and were forgotten. No....not forgotten, but fully ignored. How is that? Huh....tell me how? We were easily capable of spending three-figures for that dinner (like we did at other places). I don't wanna come off as cocky. But we're on vacation and have the money to spend. Even I walked in casually dressed. Was that the problem? C'mon guys...your place acts like upscale, but looks like a canteen with cheap wooden tables. We've had enough and walked out. The waiter even hold the door for us (Hodor....sorry....couldn't help it) on our way out. Wow....way to go pal. We had a fantastic time in Lisbon, met many great people, great (or at least good) staff and waiters / waitresses. But this place here....One star, because a ZERO doesn't exist on Yelp. Looks like they judge the guests when they walk in. Big mistake, friends. Avoid...at all costs. All I gotta say. It's too bad, since it looks like the cooks do a really great job here! But the waiting staff just kills everything. Good job!
