    This was such a nice experience. Very good atmosphere on the terrace. The white wine was great (they have a happy hour from 5pm). They have lots of toasts and sandwiches, we shared the toast with goat sandwich and sausage and it was delicious. Also very good bread. Fast service. You can pay with card. We even heard live fado concert from the bar below.

    An hidden gem in Alfama. It has a good variety of traditional Portuguese snacks and a good selection of wines. A perfect place for a quick bitt.

    Very friendly guy but unfortunately the food is so disappointing. Not a single item of the menu we ordered was decent so we gave it away to the pigeons. 🥲 chewy and over-burnt chorizo, tasteless bread, hotdog looks like a panini and they use microwave sausage.. there’s not even potatoes or French fries on the menu, only supermarket chips.. really disappointing :/

    This is the first food review I write. This place is definitely a tourist trap. Worst food/tapas we have ever had not only in Lisbon but in all places we have ever travelled to. Their Chouriço Assado tastes like you are having a pure ball of salt; the olives were stale and dried out. The cheese was ok. Again, the food is overpriced in comparison to other restaurants in the neighbourhood.

    Hidden gem in the winding streets of Alfama, under an orange tree with fantastic wines and snacks. The host as well as the music make for an ultimate experience of the true, honest and chilled night in Lisbon. We highly recommend this place. Little plus: check out the sortiments for canned fish and pottery!

    The waitress was very positive and kind, good quality of food and local atmosphere. We love the bruscetta with goat cheese, walnuts and honey. It is highly recommended!

    Delicious food, you can eat outside beneath orange tree, but also nice interior + good prices. I had the Tiberias Bacalhau com cebola e alho (bruchetta style toast with canned codfish, onions and garlic) with a small salad and "Tango" (beer with gooseberry syrup).

    I'd recommend coming here for drinks instead of food. The food was mediocre, not very flavourful and not much effort was put into it. The seating however was nice.

  • 5/5 Morgan de B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cool little bar/restaurant next door to an awful one. Staff friendly and responsive, drinks good and food good. Our hotel was nearby and it’s was hard to get a table outside

  • 4/5 Amy B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there many evenings for happy hour and a snack. So great and located in the middle of Alfama action where you can hear Fado each night from the restaurant below. Thanks especially to Nunu for his fabulous hospitality and service! See you next time!

  • 5/5 Barry P. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was sooo good. Really good value for money and Tania our waitress was fabulous. This really is a great place to have a meal.

  • 5/5 Daniel R. 1 year ago on Google
    This was our last dinner in Portugal and it was probably my favorite meal we had. It was an incredibly small space but the food and service were amazing. It is small plates so we were able to try a lot they had to offer and it was all superb. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Lisbon.

  • 5/5 Regina R. 7 months ago on Google
    The food was amazing, the green wine was excellent and the ambience was top notch.

    Fantastic friendly local spot for wine and small bites. Nuno the owner & friends were very nice .

  • 5/5 Erin T. 2 years ago on Google
    The sangria was fantastic. Wide menu with great tapas. Offer a happy hour as well with deals on drinks. We also got to listen to the fado signers from the restaurant next door.

  • 5/5 Maria S. 9 months ago on Google
    My best meal in Lisbon! The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food surpassed all my expectations. The dishes were bursting with flavor and made from the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. A perfect balance of textures and flavors. I had the pleasure of trying the best sardines ever! A true culinary delight. A big plus, the prices; very reasonable, considering the quality and portion sizes. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Augustin R. 9 months ago on Google
    Great and very cozy place. We had some Tapas, wine and beer - all perfect!

  • 4/5 JHC L. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome find in the alleys of Lisbon. Not a big place, but it’s cozy to sit in one of their tables, have some sardines/fish and a glass of wine. Service was very nice and friendly.

  • 5/5 Josue R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place in a cute little square. Excellent food, service, and sangria! Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 veronikanc 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect little place to relax. We came here two nights in a row that's how good it was. We had the cheese board, chorrizo and lots of sangria. the restaurant accross has live music and we could enjoy it from where we were sitting in more private setting. The staff was pleasant buy that's everywhere in Portugal. Never felt more valued as customer than here in Portugal.

  • 5/5 Martino M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place, with tasty toasts and excellent sangria. From the tables outside you can listen to Fado played in the restaurant on the same square.
