I've
been
here
twice,
first
time
in
2022
and
second
time
recently
in
2023.
I've
tried
both
the
upstairs
and
downstairs
restaurants
which
have
different
menus
and
different
kitchens.
The
first
time,
I
fell
in
love
with
this
restaurant
because
we
had
the
octopus
and
grilled
fish
which
tasted
delicious.
I
would
say
that
it
was
a
great
introduction
into
octopus
dishes
in
portugal.
During
that
time,
I
would
have
easily
given
it
a
five
stars.
However,
on
my
most
recent
visit,
I
ended
up
eating
at
the
downstairs
restaurant
because
the
upstairs
didn't
have
the
octopus
or
the
fish
anymore.
I
ate
with
my
family
downstairs
and
they
were
able
to
seat
us
fairly
quickly.
Atmosphere
was
great,
views
were
great
and
looking
over
Alfama,
great
for
a
date
night
out
or
dinner
with
family.
We
ended
up
ordering
the
octopus,
beef
steak,
chicken,
and
salads.
The
asparagus
and
avocado
salad
was
pretty
decent.
The
beet
salad
was
a
bit
unremarkable.
I
would
probably
not
recommend
going
with
any
of
the
salads
really.
The
steak
with
gravy
was
all
right.
I
would
say
the
octopus
was
the
best
dish
out
of
what
we
had
ordered.
Chicken
was
a
bit
dry.
Overall,
ended
up
spending
130
euros
for
four
people,
and
the
octopus
was
the
only
one
that
was
pretty
good.
Otherwise,
the
second
time
around,
I
felt
less
enthusiastic
about
the
food
compared
to
other
restaurants
in
Lisbon.
This
restaurant
is
okay,
though
not
in
my
highest
recommendations
based
on
the
pricing
and
value.
