Oops we didn't realize the fish is more of a platter and comes with potato and side salad. The salad was great, lightly stressed with olive oil and a wine vinegar. Nicely grated carrots and juicy tomatoes. The fish, saved the best for last. It was perfectly prepared. It wasn't more boney than you'd expect. Light and sweet in flavor. Paired well with the potato's and salad. We only left the bones on the plate, when Tio came to clear our table I swear I saw a little smile of approval for our deboning skills. We wrapped it up with a flan, and walked home just the right amount of full.

The owner is the one-woman show for this place. She's eccentric, in a good way. She is balancing a whole act here. She let us snag a table right at 18:30 but told us we had to be done by 19:00 since that's when the next reservation was. No prob! We placed our order for a mixed plate 1 + small sides of garlic rice and mashed potatoes. We saw a fam roll in, a group of four, and they had reservations. However, they didn't vibe with the owner and mistook her eccentricity for unwelcoming vibes - she did recommend them a nice table service serving similar foods up the street. Anyway, she called us over to pick up our orders to bring them to our tables. It was so yummy! A bit salty for our liking, but we were happy to try out her food. Her sauces are delicious and good to pour over the garlic rice. If you don't have reservations, there is always take-away as an option. Bon appetit

Food smelled delicious as the fresh fish is grilled and brought out fresh. Most fishes also come with a side of boiled potatoes lightly salted (see picture of sardines). It's a classic European restaurant on the inside with many small tables inside with a few on the patio. Staff were overall very pleasant with a constant stream of staff members bringing food and checking in. As we were travelers and do not know much Portuguese at all, they still made us feel welcome and had good English language skills.

What I wrote down in my draft when I was here a couple months ago (I'm still catching up) : "now…read more*that* is some good squid" - I'd had exceptionally mediocre squid for lunch the previous day, from a place that was also supposed to be good (it was the opposite). Squid here was delicious, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and a bunch of it. Great potatoes to go with it, too. I'd eat here every day if I could. The "couvert" was fish pate from a tin, not made in-house, but it's Portugal, so the tinned fish was still great, obviously. The olives with it were just ok, but the bread was great. I was also happy that they did, indeed, understand that we were going to share it, but only wanted a couvert plate serving for one (I hadn't been sure.) I was a little sad my wife really wanted red meat that day, so we couldn't get the seafood sampler platter for 2, but her pork chop was also great, I know because it was also huge, so I ended up eating like a third of it. Also perfectly cooked and seasoned, and it did go great with fries. The fries were also great, too, super freshly made and perfectly crispy, though the one downside, everything else but the fries were ready super quickly, then the fries showed up after we were about halfway done eating the rest of it. Definitely freshly cooked, though! Also unlike the place the previous day that served us exceptionally mediocre squid the previous day, they also sell very affordable wines here. They have a good number of extremely reasonably priced half-bottles of all types, but we didn't need a whole half-bottle of wine, so I just got a glass of the house white, which was, at least as of a couple months ago, only 2.5 euros! Seriously, I'd come here all the time if I could.I wish I had gotten to try everything on the menu.

I was also surprised how much I liked the hot pineapple they offered. Deserts were extra.

Honestly, the best Asian fusion restaurant I've ever been to and I'm obsessed with and discerning about all Asian cuisine. On my next trip to Portugal, I will go out of my way to dine here again. We went with recommendations from fellow yelpers and were wowed by the flavors. We ordered the shrimp dim sum app, spring rolls, beef noodle soup (similar to Pho), beef chow mein, green curry w/ chicken, fried bok Choi (so good!), and the Peking duck (perfection!). Everything was excellent!!! Also, the portions were generous and reasonably priced for the quality of food and service. Your taste buds will be doing backflips after one bite of their amazing food.

At the time I write this, they are fairly new. We were seated outdoors, where they have tables in the back of the restaurant. We ordered wine, I had 1/2 chicken, my wife had a chicken breast, and we ordered slaw, beans and rice, and fries as sides. The service was great and the food came out quickly. They asked if we wanted our chicken mild or spicy, and we asked for spicy. I wouldn't say the chicken was spicy when it arrived but they serve it with sides of Piri Piri sauce, which when the chicken was dipped in it, did the trick. The 1/2 chicken is a nice sized portion for someone who is hungry. I know US Chickens are genetically bred to be larger and it isn't the same in the EU, so I expected it to be a good size for me, and it was. The sides were also very good. And, since my wife couldn't finish hers, I ate the rest of the breast before we left. We were quite pleased with the quality and taste of the food, and the service was excellent. It was a great experience.
