    I would give it a 10 star if I could. What an amazing place this is for a local to have an their town. Every thing positive we experienced at this small local restaurant. Treated like we were family here Anna, the server took such great care of us. We let her explain what the items on the menu were and she also told us about the origin of many of the dishes. We left the ordering in her hands and what we got was a great experience in local Portuguese food. When we return back in town in 6 weeks we definitely make a reservation to return. Don’t miss out if you get the chance.

    The restaurant is not at all fanciful but the food is amazing. Delicious local dishes and personable service. Would definitely recommend It was completely packed when we visited on a Sunday afternoon, prebooking a tabke is definitely a good idea.

    Today i went to the restaurant Delicia de Arroios recommended by airbnb host.The restaurant is nothing fancy but tasty local Portuguese food with good price. Lunch I ordered sardines w/salad only cost 9.8euro, and dinner is grilled octopus cost 11.9euro, i like the pineapple juice w/mint(3.5euro) as well. I saw a lot of locals came to eat. Luckily I’d seat without reservation today, but better to make reservation at night. The owner n waiter, waitress are very friendly.

    By far the best restaurant service I had while in Lisbon. Where else can you get table side Bacalhau cozido com grão? Such excellent quality and so very delicious. Wish we had more time to visit this fun restaurant more than once during our trip. Can't recommend enough.

    Ich war gestern Abend mit meinem Mann da und bin unglaublich froh noch einen Tisch bekommen zu haben. Das Restaurant hat uns einer der schönsten Abende während unseres Lissabonaufenthaltes beschert. Der Service ist unglaublich, man wird herzlich empfangen und bis zum Schluss herzlich bedient auch wenn der Laden sonst viele weitere Gäste aufnimmt. Das Essen ist super super lecker!! Wir hatten die Suppe, Brot mit Oliven, Ziegenkäse mit Honig (ich schwärme jetzt noch davon), Thunfischsteak und Oktopus. Zum Schluss gab es noch eine Empfehlung hinsichtlich des Desserts, das wir auch gegessen haben. Es war alles super lecker und der Preis ist für diese Qualität top top top!! Danke danke danke!

    Wir sind aus Zufall auf dieses Restaurant gestoßen und sind einfach froh, so eine tolle Erfahrung gemacht zu haben. Die Chefin war so herzlich, hat uns jedes Detail erklärt und Tips gegeben. Wir sind einfach verliebt! Das Essen war wirklich himmlisch, man schmeckte die familiäre und liebevolle Atmosphäre. Der Preis ist mehr als fair! Ganz viel Liebe an die Besitzer des Lokals! Ihr seid toll❤️

    Great ambience and good Portuguese food! This place was recommended by our guide. We ordered the fried octopus, lamb chops, and shrimps for our meal. It was very tasty.I strongly recommend this place. This place is also very reasonably priced and affordable.

    Very nice and cozy place. We ordered entrecote, grilled fish with salad and potato (unfortunately i don't remember what fish it was), two different glasses of home wine (red and dry white), lemonade (lemon+mint), desert with passion fruits and tea. Everything was fresh and delicious. Waiter was very friendly and helpful. All menu is in Portuguese, but don't worry. Personal speak really good on English and everything will be translated and you'll be sure to find something to suit your taste) Thanks for nice evening 🤗

    Went to this location after a friends recommendation. But it's not worth a try. First, they randomly kept bread and olives on our table. Normally, people like us will think it's complementary, but it was charged, which we got aware only when the bill came. When we asked, he told us we were supposed to either not eat or return it. We ordered octopus due to curiosity, but it tasted so bland and raw. We also ordered Goat meal but just average. Overall not worth 30 Euros.

    Service is what makes a meal for the stomach into food for the soul. Love all the dishes that we had, and above that, the warm and personable service we received. Food was so good that we ate out of the dishes directly instead of wasting time scooping out to our individual plates. Wished we had more stomach space so that we could fit everything. Food was so good that I was mostly distracted from the smoke whiffing over from the other table. Was glad we chose to stay although we couldn't get an indoor seat to be away from the smoke.

    We stumbled across this oasis last night which was close to our hotel. When we asked for a table the hostess advised they were booked inside but offered us the last table for two on the patio. We thought it must be good if there booked. OMG. It was better than good. We had no idea what to have. The hostess recommended lamb for my wife and I asked for fish. We were blown away with our meal. The portions were exceptional and the food was Amazing. I was served the Tuna lightly grilled on a skewer and my wife’s lamb chops were exquisite. Wine served in a juice jar, bread warmed came in a quilted bag. We fell in love with our hostess and can’t wait to come back one day. This was definitely a highlight of our dining experiences in Portugal

    I didn't catch our waiters name but he was really attentive. He didn't have a menu in English but took the time to explain each of the dishes to us which was more than kind. The food was also delicious and well priced. I'd highly recommend visiting!

    I went there because of so many good reviews. But I definitely had the worst octopus in my life. First of all, it looked dreadful as it assembled so much a baby’s head. Secondly, due to poorly seasoned, I could very much taste the true ‘octopus’ flavor. So the whole eating process was like slicing a baby piece by piece and pushing them into my mouth. It was, to be honest one of the most memorable food experience in my life, which I definitely do not want to experience it again. In fact, I haven’t eaten any octopus ever since.

    Wow, what a great lunch I had at Delícia de Arroios! 😃 The food was really good!! I highly recommend this restaurant because everything tasted delicious! Meat served with fries, fish cakes served with a risotto, all good! The price is also very fair considering the quality and the quantity, and the service is very nice! Well done!

    Most delicious food i had in Lisbon, the waiter is super friendly. Highly recommended place

    It's the kind of place where you come for a simple, comforting and filling meal. The portions of some dishes are big and of the others very big. Prices are low, especially if you ask for something out of their daily menu, some of the options cost around 8€ per portion, for example a salmon cost 10€. It may not look like it on the photo, but the piece of salmon they gave me was huge, one of the biggest I've ever gotten. I really enjoyed the service, despite there being only one person serving all of the tables, he was super nice to us and was giving plenty of attention to every customer. Overall, this place combines low priced, big portioned, traditional meals while still being well arranged and pretty inside.

    Outstanding service by the servers. Great staff. The 4 of us went there for dinner. One of us was grumpy for no reason with the servers but they did a professional job. She even sent back the food and they brought something else for her. They did not charge for that and made sure she is happy with her food, even though she acted childish. Lovely place, lovely staff. Great food. I can tell they love their restaurant and their guests. Felt like a family. Definitely coming back next time. Much recommended!

    This is a fantastic place!! Everything we ate was delicious- especially the prawns and the cheese. The staff were so lovely and very patient, taking the time to explain the whole menu to us in English as we don’t speak Portuguese, it was great value as well
