The food was fantastic- steak for me and monkfish for my wife. The wine and bread were great. We struck up a conversation with a French couple at the next table and hope to see them on the path.

The focus here is on rotisserie chicken; they have other items but they're not the main event. It's very big inside, 2 stories and even early it's pretty busy. The chicken is well seasoned and very juicy; enough so that you know why it's So popular. Sides I can barely remember , but everything else was good- it's just that you will Always remember that chicken! Other than that, my only other clear memory of that dinner is that it was very reasonably priced. If I were in the area again, I'd return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

I am delighted that I tried this place. Upon walking in, there is a diner countertop that one can…read moresit at and basically watch the kitchen prepare your food. There is also dining upstairs. As I came in on my own I opted for the one open stool at the counter. The restaurant was busy on a Monday early evening, about 5:30-6:00 pm-ish, with what felt like mostly locals. They have a regular menu, a daily menu printed on the counter top, and they also do Take-Away. Their specialty is definitely their roasted chicken, which one can see cooking on spits at the entrance of the restatruant, conjuring such amazing smells that truly open up the appetite. The staff is sweet and did their best to serve me, with my English/Spanish and no Portugese self. Everything I ate was top-tier without being fancy. Simple and flavorful. I ordered a 1/2 chicken (way too much for me by myself) that came with batatas (french fries- which I didnt love), so I ordered a side of white rice and a salad, as well as what I would call a carafe of wine (it was definitely either two very healthy pours or 3 regular ones). All in all, I paid $15 euros, which I thought was a great value for all that I was given and how tasty everything was.

É isso que deve esperar do Quinhentos &Cinco, uma iniciativa de António Nunes, Paulo Nunes e Paulo Gomes, já com negócios na restauração, que recorreram a Vítor Matos para construir a carta e selecionar os vinhos. São 230 referências de todas as regiões do país, entre elas cerca de 100 tintos, 55 brancos, seis espumantes, seis champanhes e três colheitas tardias. A cozinha é de raiz tradicional portuguesa e revisita muitos pratos criados por Vítor Matos no passado, daí a Cozinha de Memórias. Defender os valores nacionais, recuperar e preservar tradições, impulsionar e promover a arte e os seus intervenientes são os valores máximos deste projeto. Aqui só se produzem pratos com ingredientes bem escolhidos e selecionados, que dão a cada receita uma combinação inigualável de aromas e sabores, e tudo é servido no ponto certo. Arroz de polvo, Bochechas de porco preto, Costeleta de carne maturada ou bacalhau com migas e enchidos, são alguns dos pratos que compõem a carta, assim como as sobremesas tipicamente portuguesas. A elegante decoração e aposta no design tornam o ambiente requintado e descontraído, ideal para passar momentos únicos de prazer e bem-estar. Aqui, o pormenor faz a diferença.

After being seated , we sat for a good 15-20 minutes before someone came to our table ....we were the only customers. She took our drink and appetizer orders. Good wine list. Salads and a shrimp appetizer were good. One in our group had octopus and he said it was good. One had salmon, alright. Another 2 shared a steak and enjoyed it. My self, and another in our group had the cod. It was terrible. We could not eat it because of the bones, and the fact that it was dry and chewy. They put a breading on it and bake it and it was dried out. We should have said something. Anyway, the service was slow and food was nothing special. There are only 2 people working this restaurant. There are too many other restaurants to explore.
