Been here a few times, once for &agrave; la carte and once for takeaway. Food&rsquo;s solid, wine list is decent too. Nothing fancy, but it does the job. Good spot if you&rsquo;re with a group and don&rsquo;t want to overthink it. Service was fine, no complaints.

The steak sandwich is still as good as the first time I had it. Been coming here for a while now, and that dish never lets me down.

The service was genuinely good &mdash; attentive without hovering. Food came out looking really nice too, properly plated. But honestly the space itself stood out to me, clean lines, tasteful decor, and the background music was at just the right volume. Easy to have a conversation. Only thing is the seats are a bit hard after an hour, but I&#39;d still come back.

Came here on a whim and honestly left impressed. The vibe is chill but still feels a bit fancy, which I liked. I ordered the octopus and it was cooked perfectly, super tender. The chef really knows their stuff. Only thing is the place got a bit loud later on, but I&#39;d still go back for that dish.

The bacalhau Fortaleza was huge&mdash;easily enough for two people. Flavor was solid, really well seasoned. Eating inside the old fortress walls gave it a different vibe, you don&#39;t get that everywhere. Service was fine, nothing special, but the food did the talking. I&#39;d go back just for that dish alone.

The seafood rice was solid. Soupy and full of prawns, clams, mussels. Big portion, good for sharing. Service was quick too.

Friendly staff and the food really hit the spot. Nothing fancy, but I left full and happy. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The room really is beautiful, tables nicely set, felt comfortable right away. We had a meat dish that was properly done, well seasoned, big portion too. Waiter checked on us just enough, not hovering. Price felt fair for what you get. Solid spot.

Stopped here for lunch after walking along the river. View of the bridge is solid, that&#39;s the main draw. Had a vegetarian dish that was better than expected, decent mix on the menu. Service was friendly enough, no complaints. Prices are fair for the location. Wouldn&#39;t go out of my way, but if you&#39;re in the area it does the job.

Reasonable prices for Lisbon. Got the bread with olives, sausage with egg and fries, plus a coffee &mdash; &euro;22.60 total. Solid spot if you&#39;re just hungry and don&#39;t wanna overthink it. Nothing fancy but it did the job.

Stopped by for a quick takeaway and grabbed the chicken and ribs. Meat was tender, spicy sauce had a proper kick. Service moved fast even with a line forming. Got a beer to go with it, honestly the combo worked better than expected. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and want something easy.

Craving pizza and this place hit the spot. Got the margherita and the crust was properly charred, really fresh toppings. A bit busy but worth it for a casual dinner. 🍕

Grilled octopus and scallops were spot on. The eggplant toast was a nice surprise to share with friends!

Tucked by the uni, easy to miss from outside. Got the grilled cod, portion was huge for the price. Not fancy, but you leave full without breaking the bank.

The interior&rsquo;s got this funky vibe, kinda cool with the fixtures. Desserts are the real deal though, definitely the highlight. Pasta and burgers were solid, nothing crazy but fine for a casual bite. I&rsquo;d come back just for something sweet, honestly.

Grilled cod with mayo was solid &mdash; big half-portion, really tasty. Waiter knew his wine picks. The sugar-crust dessert finished it well.

Loved the cozy tavern vibe! We grabbed a table on the street terrace, perfect for people-watching with friends. It was lively and not too loud for a chat. The wine was good, and we shared a few simple plates. Got a bit warm inside later, but the terrace saved the night.

The menu is not adapted. Went there specifically to eat one of the vegetarian dishes only to get there and to be told that they don&rsquo;t serve it anymore. When I asked what other alternatives they had the staff was not helpful at all.

The chef&#39;s table touch was a nice surprise. Grilled shrimp skewers were spot on, and that blue cheese ravioli had real flavor. Fresh ingredients, no doubt.

Tucked away from the main tourist path, this place offers solid Indian dishes at fair prices. The service is friendly and the portions are satisfying. I had the butter chicken and it was decent, though the sauce could&#39;ve been a bit thicker. The naan was fresh and warm, which I appreciated. Good spot if you&#39;re craving Indian food without the crowds.

Right on the river, can&#39;t beat the spot. Grilled octopus was decent, picanha came out quick and cooked right. Service didn&#39;t make me wait around, which I appreciate. Solid spot for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

Really enjoyed the service and the food. Only found that it wasn&rsquo;t that warm inside. But the Codfish was absolutely delicious. The owner very friendly and caring. Strongly recommend.

The food was very good. The staff was amazing. I loved the pineapple juice. Absolutely recommend.
