😐 Good fish but service too much confused. Pay attention to the bill. One plate (x2) for 56€, I paid at the end more than 80€ with a glass of wine (paid as bottle) , 1 water e 1 cheese (bad) not requested. Ok, I'm tourist, I understand.... People often mention fish, restaurant, wine, service, nice, main, staff, good,

    Lunch for four people, very nice waiter welcomed us. We had two soups of the day and it was vegetable soup with carrot pieces and cabbage - very tasty. One of us had rich fish soup which included a tomato-base and three different fish types. As a main course we had two plates which were on the menu for two persons but as a shared plate it could have been enough for four as a main course. Octopus was excellent, and both white fish. Cod was a bit salty but very good too. As a dessert we had coffee. With the menu we had a bottle of Mateo rose wine. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone craving for nicely cooked seafood.

    Want to see some portugese tile? This place is amazing. When you walk in you see the live tanks and an ice table with fresh fish backed by hanging Iberico hams. They butcher the fish when you order your meal. How fresh is that? As our Uber driver said, "you're in Portugal, eat fish". They have meat on the menu and it's ok but the fish is fantastic!

    This restaurant is 1 min walk from Rossip train station. From the door, the whole atmosphere is very presentable and charming with fish tanks and a frozen fish display. When we went there was almost empty with 2-3 tables used. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The dishes are well presented and very tasty. And they did not offer card payment because they had some technical issues.

    I rarely post reviews, especially restaurants in tourist areas. Came across this restaurant randomly, it looked so beautiful so I had to come in and take a look! Then we ate here after seeing all the seafood on display. The prices are in line with other reputable restaurants in the area, but the portion are so generous, you are guaranteed full with only a main course! They will bring you bread/olive/tuna pate, they are not free!!

    Slightly disappointed with the meat variety. However, my main disappointment was the small meat servings. Everytime I went to get more beef I was only served 2 very thin slices, as you can see from my pictures! Olives were also bitter.

    Optus salad is really cold and not fresh. The main course is so plain. The staff wasn’t very welcoming also. I know Covid time there’s no buffet but come on, the price is not cheap and it’s not good at all.

    Bad experience, unreasonable prices and fees. The waitress was in a bad mood. The important thing was that the waitress didn't tell us about the food information and gave us bad service. The person has only one sentence: sorry. Not recommended, the food is mediocre, the price is expensive, the service is poor. They ruined our mood.

    Insider tip for affordable and still really fine food with many local dishes and wine. Atmosphere is nice as well as the staff. Unfortunately, the communication can be a bit difficult, because they barely speak English. It was around 35€ in total for a rich fish soup as starter, lamb chops as main dish and (half) a bottle of wine. I think that's quite fair! --- Insider tip for cheap but good food with a selection of local dishes and wine. The ambience is good and so is the staff. Unfortunately, communication is difficult because almost no English is spoken, but it seems very authentic! For fish soup as a starter, lamb chops as a main course and a (half) bottle of wine around €35, which is absolutely fair. Clear recommendation.

    I can not recommend this place. Sadly the food was just so-so and the worst part - I had to look for lady who worked there in service. We were the only guests in the restaurant and she decided that chatting on phone outside of the restaurant was more important than taking our order or answer our questions. Extremely unfriendly service which was quire shocking. Meanwhile food was overpriced compared to its quality. Other places served same dishes just tastier. Order a la carte on early afternoon. I have traveled in February, hopefully it changed since then.

    This’s my sixth time coming to this restaurant. It’s always good and delicious with good wine. The lady waitress are so kind too. Thank you for all staffs here. Update, one more time in here, I want to tell chef, the salmon you grilled is so delicious. Perfect. crispy outside and tender inside.

    The octopus was superb, the green beans, and potatoes were a nice balance. House white wine was easy drinking too. The gentleman that served me was friendly and smiling.

    No cosy atmosphere. Bitterly services. Fish and crab prepared okay, but without any nice presentation. Not recommendable so far.

  • 4/5 Monique P. 4 years ago on Google • 35 reviews
    The service was great, but the grilled octopus was not. It was warm, not hot as it should have been. It was, however, very tasty. I adored the ambience in this restaurant.

    The food itself was amazing 10/10. However, the service wasn’t the most friendly and the price isn’t too cheap either. But if you’re looking for a fancier restaurant and have no worries about the price, I’d definitely recommend :)

  • 5/5 Lucia 2 years ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Cozy atmosphere, very friendly and professional staff. Large selection of fish dishes and very fresh. Price performance match. A bowl of olives and a bowl of Vitello Tonnato are offered at each table at the beginning.

  • 3/5 Sue T. 1 year ago on Google
    Restaurant has beautiful decor, and the food is amazing. Sadly the staff were totally inattentive and miserable. Patrons would walk-in and be ignored, not seated or offered menus. Our waitress never once smiled. The guy behind the bar ignored everyone. While we walked in early by Portuguese standards, at 6 pm, no one greeted us. We had to ask if the restaurant was open. While they said it was no one offered to seat us for several minutes. We watched numerous people peek into the place, not sure if it was open or not. I suspect they lost hundreds of dollars the night we were there.

    A wonderful authentic Lisbon restaurant serving excellent fish.

  • 1/5 Larry N. 1 year ago on Google
    It gave the appearance of busy, but it was an English tour group that got dumped here. Poor attitude, poor service! Stale bread! Should have left before we ordered our entrees. Overcooked fish, frozen vegetables! There’s a bunch of great cafes within 2 minutes walk, Don’t even think of going here!

    Went here with my school, they have already been warned about my gluten free menu, however, when I got there they just told me to eat from where there were no bread or crackers (it's a buffet). So I ended up just eating white rice and salad. Everything else was mixed up or had gluten, and there was probably cross contamination in my food. Wouldn't recommend for celiacs. Had to come back here the next day, again, they did not have options for me, in fact, they had even less.
