“ Loved the food here - modern Portuguese tapas dishes. We had the sardines, croquette, prawns and cuttlefish- all very good and reasonably priced too. ”
“ We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and its memorable taste when we came across this little gem by surprise. Very friendly and efficient service, available in English and Portuguese. Their beer tap was apparently broken though, but they still had bottled beers. We started with the shrimp in the beer sauce and were blown away by how delicious it was. Order with bread! The beef sandwich and the raw cod were ok, but the other stuff we had including the octopus, duck croquettes, and squid tacos were very tasty. Located very close to the very, tram, bus station. Vegetarian options available. Kid friendly. Handicap accessible. ”
“ We were full after third dish but had to order two more and a dessert because everything was simply so delicious. The best dinner of our trip to Portugal. The fish dishes were the standout but we couldn’t fault a thing. We cannot recommend enough that you travel over the river to here and enjoy a wonderful meal for a beyond reasonable price. ”
