We were greeted by the owner who walked through the menu and then showed us all his photos of his childhood home and growing up. Gracious is an understatement. We felt like we were walking into a family home. Then the food came. OMG this was the best intro to Portugal. We started with the garlic prawns which were amazing and my fave part of the meal. We ordered the franchescha, cod and cuttlefish. The portions are HUGE. The service was top notch and we want to come back. This is a no brainer. Come here. It is the true Portugal experience as we dined surrounded by all locals.

The menu is translated in English and French. We came here because we wanted to try francesinha. I don't know how other places serve it, but this sandwich was doused in a tomato-based sauce. It was filled with meat, so I think a meat lover would like this. It's also topped with a poached egg. For me, the chili oil helped it go down better. The fries were my favorite!! I loved the fries so much. The other dish I tried was grilled codfish. Another Yelper's photo of the grilled codfish looked different from mine. Mine was served on a bed of potatoes covered in olive oil and sliced raw onions. If this is supposed to be their nicer fish, I'm curious what the "lesser" fish, like sea bream, is served like. Service was good. We were confused whether to pay at the counter because we saw some locals doing it. I'd like to add - I walked an hour to get here XD

I tried the lengua croquette and lengua vinaigrette with the truffle fries. The croquette was good, but the lengua did not stand out.

Our friend had the fish of the day, which was definitely the signature dish. It was a standout. Finally, the lemonade and tea/lemonade drinks were once of the best ever had. We highly recommend based on service and food. Go check them out!

In the base of Intercontinental Lisboa, this lovely but relatively small restaurant was a good choice! They had the most amazing enameled tile pictures throughout and classy decor. Very ample and attentive staff led by a young good looking and charming Maitre D was very kind and professional at providing proper table service. Just a local wine and a bottled beer but standard and good. I ordered a pork chop with butter beans with bacon side. She ordered a sweet potato ravioli with a cream sauce and mushrooms. We shared a bit. My pork chop was moderate size but very tasty and served with sea salt on side. Slightly overcooked. The beans were absolutely fabulous! Her ravioli was very good and a fantastic vegetarian option! I especially liked the mushrooms and the cream sauce with crushed pistachio was well balanced. We don't eat in hotels often but would eat here again though a little pricy (hotel restaurants are) and not exciting like others around town

We were in the on decorated by the blue tiles. Oh and the food is phenomenal. We ordered the "pica-pau" for appetizer. It's marinated pork, which is then pan fried with aromatics, onion and garlic. We also ordered the migas and ribs. Migas is a rustic dish made by repurposing leftover or stale bread. Rooted in peasant and shepherd traditions, the bread is moistened and then sautéed in olive oil and garlic. It was served with short ribs. I ordered the pork and clams, a specialty from southern central portugal. Sounds crazy but it's amazing good and a throwback to my childhood. For dessert we shared sericaia, another southern Portuguese delicacy which is a flan-type with baked prunes. Can't recommend this place highly enough and it's always a place we return to when in Portugal. Check out the photos. Service was discreet and attentive.
