    Rump steak, whole chicken
    Elizabeth C.

    A really nice restaurant on a side street filled with restaurants vying for your attention. This was one of the busiest that night so we figured we'd give it a try. Definitely try the whole roast chicken (you can't miss them - there are tons roasting on spits in the front of the restaurant), which has lots of olive oil and ask for the hot sauce, which is delicious. The busboy accidentally dropped a spoon on my dad's coat, which I wouldn't have remarked upon except that he went out of his way to get some cleaner and a brush in order to fix it. I thought that was above and beyond in terms of service.

    Grilled octopus.

    Amazing food. Low key place with a wide ranging menu that's decently priced. I had the grilled octopus and is was fresh and grilled to perfection. I would highly recommend this place.

    Grilled octopus. (€15.50) So tender and the sides were a great compliment

    My first meal in Portugal and was happy to find it. If it wasn't for this place I probably would've settled on McDonalds.

    I've never given 5 stars but this came close. I had the bacalao and it was the best I had in Portugal. Quiet and cozy atmosphere.

    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?

    What's the hype?! We…read morewent on a weekday night and it was full but not packed. We were first in line and seated immediately. A small line of one or two groups at a time formed throughout the night. We were seated outside and there was a street performer with an acoustic guitar - def added some great vibes to the night. It was a chilly December night but the heater provided *just enough* warmth. We ordered the codfish cakes which were alright - nothing too special. Since it was a little cold out, I also ordered the chicken broth. It was bland, but good in its own way. There was some rice and chicken bits in it that tasted really good. The rotisserie chicken that they are known for was EXTREMELY salty. We were a group of 6 and ordered 2.5 rotisserie chicken (so 5 pieces) but this was actually way too much. It's a little better (but still salty) if you don't eat the skin, but that's the best part given how crispy it was! I tried to drown out the saltiness by using the piri piri sauce and it helped a little bit... but biting into the chicken meant biting into the undissolved salt bits. Given how salty it was, we could not finish it at all and left behind 3 pieces. Service itself was meh. They made sure to inform us that the tip was not included in the bill.
