The Portuguese rice pudding was the highlight. Creamy, not too sweet, with a hint of cinnamon. Just the right texture. A really nice way to end the meal.

If you&#39;re looking for a local dining experience, this restaurant has a fantastic vibe with a mix of locals and tourists enjoying the food together.

The roasted chicken is wonderfully juicy and seasoned just right, a real highlight of the meal.

Grilled sardines were spot on, codfish cakes pretty solid too. Service quick and friendly. Prices fair for what you get.

Been coming here for years now. Grilled fish still fresh, still cooked right every single time. Place gets packed but they don&#39;t rush you out. For the middle of Lisbon, prices are fair. Not the fanciest spot, but I keep going back for that fish. That says something.

If you&#39;re looking for a local eatery with hearty meals and delicious desserts, this is the place to go. The portions are huge, and the service is friendly. Just be sure to bring cash!

The veggie dog was solid. Big, flavorful, and the soy sausage worked with the slaw. Nice to have a meat-free option that actually tastes good.

The owner and his wife keep things running smoothly. Food was solid, nothing fancy. Felt comfortable eating alone here, which is rare for me.

Very good restaurant, the food is excellent, the staff are smiling and helpful, and the prices are affordable. Highly recommended.

The grilled sardines were the real deal. Plenty of salt, charred skin, came with boiled potatoes and a bit of salad. Menu changes daily, so I just went with whatever the fish was that day. Fair price for the portion. Didn&#39;t care much about the room, but the food did the talking.

The staff is very kind and friendly and the food is great! We ate cheese, garlic gambas, octopus and fish! The sweet rice was also great! The place is a bit narrow, but I think it&rsquo;s typical of the neighborhood! I recommend it!

The garlic shrimp were properly seasoned, fresh. Real Alfama spot with football on the telly. Mixed crowd but the food did the talking.

The chicken samosas were the reason I came back. Crispy, not greasy, and the filling had that nice kick without overpowering the spices. The African-Portuguese mix works better than I expected. Wings were good too, though a bit saucy for my taste. Fresh ingredients, you can tell. Would like to see more veggie options on the menu though.

Good Indian food, fresh ingredients and fair prices. No outdoor seating though, which was a bit of a letdown. Still, the quality makes up for it.

Came here with a couple friends last week and honestly the terrace is the spot. Bossa nova playing low in the background just makes it feel super chill. We grabbed sandwiches and they were really well made, you can tell they actually care about the ingredients. Not the cheapest but fine for the vibe. Would come back for a lazy afternoon for sure.

Came here with a couple of friends on a random weeknight and honestly the veggie tapas were the highlight. We ordered a bunch to share and everything was pretty solid. Place got a bit busy later but that just made it feel lively. Would come back if I&rsquo;m craving something light and casual 🌿

Stumbled in on a busy Saturday. Got a table after a short wait. The Portuguese wine was solid, food hit the spot too. Service kept it simple, no fuss. Prices fair for what you get. Nothing fancy, just a good meal when you need one.

The cocktails are the reason to come here, honestly. The barman actually talks you through each drink, you can tell he cares about what he&#39;s making. Food was decent but the drinks are what stood out to me. Service was friendly the whole night too.

The grilled octopus was so tender, really fresh. I liked that they keep things simple and focus on the fish. Just remember to bring cash, that caught me off guard.

The space is gorgeous, no doubt. Service was sharp too, never had to wait long for anything. But honestly, the food stole the show. I had the grilled octopus and it was cooked perfectly, smoky on the edges, tender inside. My friend&#39;s seafood rice was solid as well. Only thing, it&#39;s a bit pricey for the portion size. Still, I&#39;d come back just for that octopus.

The sandwiches here are super delicious, especially the spicy ones. It&#39;s a great fast food option that doesn&#39;t compromise on quality.

The tagliatelle al rag&ugrave; was the only thing that mattered. Meat sauce had that slow-cooked depth, pasta was properly chewy. Didn&#39;t care about the crowd or the noise. Ate, paid, left. Maybe slightly overpriced for what it is, but I&#39;d order the same dish again.

Simple, honest food and the prices are hard to beat. I liked that you can mix and match the daily dishes for lunch or dinner. Service was friendly too.

Beautiful location &amp; ambience. The sushi and sashimi were excellent and the presentation over dry ice made it very artistic. We will definitely return!

Came here with the kids and a magician stopped by our table while we waited for food. That was a nice touch, kids loved it. Staff were patient with them too. Food was decent, nothing crazy but fine for a family spot. Place gets busy though, so expect a bit of a wait.

The inside is way nicer than the outside suggests&mdash;spacious and modern. Food was solid, staff were lovely. Good spot for a chill meal.

Stopped by for a late snack and a drink. Bartender knew their gin, helped me pick something different. Cheese plate did the job, nothing fancy but solid. Place has a good buzz without being too loud. Maybe a bit pricey for what you get, but fine for a quick stop.

Solid seafood rice by the Tagus. Loads of clams, prawns, octopus in there. Portion was big enough to skip dinner after. Casual spot, nothing fancy. Fine for a quick lunch if you&#39;re in the area.

We had a lovely time at a lovely restaurant.  Food was yummy, service was outstanding and pricing seemed fair.  We enjoyed a Garlic Octopus starter as well as the Goat Cheese.  Roasted Salmon, Curried Shrimp (excellent seasoning not too spicy) and a shared Shrimp in Rice.  The meal ended with a Creme Brule and we all walked out happy.
