Once you eat here, you'll understand what the hype is all about. We got a table without a…read morereservation, but it was about 9 PM at night on a Friday. Holy moly, though, we are so happy that we made the trek from our hotel to this restaurant. We shared one of their giant tiger prawns on sea salt that they are so famous for, along with garlic clams in a white wine, broth, and garlic shrimp. OMG it was all SO delicious, and we couldn't get enough of the broth that came with the clams.
Definitely get the bread that they offer because you need something to scoop up all that yummy garlic butter. We were also super excited because they had gluten-free bread to offer, which made my friend and partner so so happy!
The service was excellent, and the server went so far as to advise us that we had originally ordered too much food, and recommended we removed one of our original selections. We're so happy that he did, because we were stuffed afterwards. The ambience is so lively, we were seated at a communal table meant for eight, so we shared it with another party, but it didn't feel too cramped. Yes, it is a bit pricier for sure, perhaps one of our most expensive in Lisbon, but well worth it.
Make reservations ahead of time if you can, and ask servers for recommendations based on your preferences. Keep in mind that some of the prices are based on a kilogram, so if you want just one or two pieces, it won't be so expensive.
You won't be disappointed!
