Inside was classically decorated with many square tables that could be rearranged for groups of 1-2 or larger. We did not need a reservation but it was a Tuesday night at 8pm. Service was friendly but could felt similar to the service you get in many tourist restaurants and the idea of American tipping seems to be taking root. Food portions were hearty and seemed to be a more formal take on Portuguese comfort food (I imagine). The Cod Duque was under seasoned with the Octopus done well and the sweet potato puree was just....there.

Grate Place for Vegetarians! ;)…read more Just arrived in the city and wanted to eat somewhere i was already prepared to eat rice and salad as usual because there are not many options for healthy vegetarian food in Portugal and so with out knowing we went in to Taifa and it was a jackpot! They had a lunch menu which was also available for vegetarians. Well prepared and you can feel the cook knows that one can make a lot of grate things with vegetables so it was a really grate meal we were stuffed and happy. The menue inclided FRESH JUCE (!!!) SOUP, and Polenter with vegetarian Napoliana and salad! Was really nice! Of cours you can have it also with meet. Service is really nice and friendly and everyone speaks good english! Atmosphere is very chill and relaxed! And the price is also below 10 euros. So its grate for low budget travelers Grate place!!! 5stars!

You check in and then they ask you wait in their waiting area next door which looks a little bare and the outside patio seems like a smoking area. After we were called, we walked upstairs to a brightly-lit dining room. Lots of serving staff and all very friendly. Their menu is extensive and it's great they have photos too! My favorites had to be the giant tiger prawn, razor clams, and the crab head, but everything was tasted good and the seafood tasted fresh. Would recommend!

There…read moreare several restaurants on the same block but we decided on this one, as they have the duck rice as one of the daily's specials, and we didn't get to try it on this trip yet. We sat outside as weather was beautiful (though turned out too windy to enjoy al fresco dining). The waitress brought over an English menu. To our dismay, the English menu has items like hamburger, pasta, sandwiches and all the stuff, but nothing Portuguese. As we enjoy exploring local cuisines, we struggled through the Portuguese menu, with some help from google and the waitress. We ordered a morcela assada, which is blood sausage roasted on a ceramic dish. I have to say, this is definitely one of the best morcela I've tried. The skin is crispy, the stuffing flavorful and not pasty. It was a really big sausage but I couldn't bear to waste any and gallantly finished it. The duck rice came baked, shreds of duck meat mixed in the rice. Again, nice flavor. For dessert, we had some sweet Portuguese melon and the local specialty, tortas de Azeitão. Whether you are homesick or culinarily adventurous, this place offers good service and delicious food at a reasonable price. Although i didn't get the hamburger, so don't complain if it doesn't taste like home...

It's situated in a small square (not far from the main square) that is surrounded in an area of shops. Having the shops was an extra bonus and a wonderful way to visit among the locals.

And the food is outstanding. Love the amazing Shrimp dish with ginger, garlic and chilis. It's not spicy just very flavorful! The grilled veggies and tomato rice are also delicious.

Thank you to Rachel, Pamella, Andre, Filipa, and all others we met in this lovely restaurant!

When I asked my friend in Lisbon where to go for seafood, she told us that she usually go to…read moreSetubal for seafood as the ones in Lisbon is not quite as fresh. Then another Portuguese local recommended this place. We didn't come during peak lunch hour, but the place was still rather busy. This place is not exact on the waterfront, separated from it by a wide street, though the view is quite open. We are glad the menu is available in English and the waiter is also fluent in English. We ordered a sole, and a risotto. Overall, it was a very enjoyable dinner, the quality of seafood is very good, and the price very reasonable. There are lots of seafood restaurants lining the street and as it was our first time eating here we don't know how it measures up to its neighbors, but it was definitely a pleasure experience.

Halfway into a very informative historical tour of Portugal, our tour guide informed us that we…read morewould be having lunch at Restaurante O Miguel. Since he is a local, he highly recommended that we order the Fried Squid meal. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly employee that led us to a table within the outdoor seating area. After providing us with menus, we ordered one fried squid meal and two glasses of the Periquita Rosé. 10 minutes later our meal arrived at our table. The fried squid was absolutely delicious. It was perfectly fried so that the exterior of the squid was crispy (not dry), and the inside was surprisingly juicy. The pairing of fries with the squid was so delightful that we ordered a second fried squid meal to share amongst ourselves. The Periquita Rosé was just ok in our opinions. However, my wife and I are not fans of Rosé, we merely tried it because our tour guide recommended it. We ended up ordering a round of the Planalto dry white wine, which was better in our opinions. If the fried squid meal was an accurate depiction of how the other meals on their menu taste, I'm disappointed that we couldn't have revisited this restaurant at least two more times. I HIGHLY recommended this restaurant to any seafood lover!
