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!

We also ordered a crab, which was prepared with the pate of the crab. Everything was extremely fresh and the service was exceptional. We loved everything we ate! My personal favorites were the prawns and cataplana, which came in a broth so rich and sweet that my family asked for more bread to sop up the remainder. Would absolutely come back to Lisbon just to eat here again!

After two years since our first visit, we came back and enjoyed another great meal here…read more The ambiance and decor was still mostly the same with a vase mor two switched in placement! Table seating was by the front and along one wall with the rest at the bar that dominated the middle of the restaurant. Menu was almost the same with a great selection of seafood ranging from tacos, ceviche appetizers to pasta, fish and shellfish entrees with many Asian flavors. The Peruvian ceviche was very nice with thin slices of fish, radish and red onions. The corn nuts added a nice crunch. It also came with a small bowl of toasted crostini chips. The cuttlefish tacos were delicious.. Big chunks of cuttlefish topped with tomatoes and placed on a small tortilla with a white sauce. We actually ordered just one but comped a pair. Sea bass was the best with its crunchy pan fried skin side topped with nori and the moist fish went perfectly with the barley and miso sauce combination. Even the bok choy was cooked well. The squid ink pasta had a mild sauce but scallops were nicely seared. At the end the owner offered us a shot of ginja to try for our first time. It was sweet but at least lower in alcohol,16%. Another great meal and service even two years later. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting some seafood here in Lisbon.

It feels very local, servers/bartenders don't even speak english but they do understand. They have great tasting and good quality food.

We have shrimps with garlic (sooo good!!!) and grilled salmon (a little salty but with some oil and lemon it's really good).

They are not joking when they say that they serve the best octopus in town. The octopus is so tender, and the garlicky sauce along with the potatoes are so delicious. We also ordered the fish of the day which was a grilled sea bream served with sautéed vegetables. The fish fell right off the bone and was so flaky and grilled to perfection. They heard that we were celebrating our honeymoon, so our server gave us some complementary chocolate cups of ginjinha. I highly recommend that you book a reservation in advance. They fill up quickly, and we were lucky to snag a seat. The atmosphere inside is cozy but elegant. Easily one of the best meals we had on our trip, and we will definitely come back the next time we are in Lisbon!
