👍👍 Raízes - roots, what we seek in many aspects of life, culture. The food - stewed pork and beans, crusty bread and beer here satisfy deeply, memorably. Easy exchange of greetings and conversation with regular locals so pleasant. People often mention service, restaurant, wine, delicious, good, great, friendly,

    Wonderful prix fixe lunch for 10 euro: delicious pea soup, huge portion of hake with spinach, caramelized onions, and potatoes, followed by a lovely fruitcake like dessert. Nom!

    Discovered this local cuisine gem nestled amongst a lot of overrated restaurants in the area. The food is spectacular. I had the soup of the day ( spinach ) and some slow cooked pork shoulder filled with a mixture of bread, vegetables and pork meat. With some of the best potatoes chips on the side. Parabens !

    Was für ein Glück - wir wohnten direkt in der Nähe und haben nach einem guten Restaurant gesucht. Ohne Google wären wir wahrscheinlich nicht auf dieses urige, aber delikate Restaurant gekommen. Die vorherigen Bewertungen waren wirklich nicht übertrieben…und der Besitzer ist unglaublich zuvorkommend und freundlich. Wer also richtig toll und lecker essen will, der kommt hierher!

    Small resto serving Portuguese food within walking distance (2 minutes) from our hotel. There are only a few seats available in front, and there were few other customers for dinner on a weekday. Octopus and risotto were excellent, so was the codfish mille feuilles. Beautiful building, quiet, romantic atmosphere. Good local wine list.

    I don't regret getting lost three times to find this place. WONDERFUL wine, and I'm not even a wine person. . .

    Excellent food and attentive service. Inspired menu offering local favorites with modern touches. Roasted Octopus was perfectly season. Sardine chop and fillet was good with the warm pepper salad. Try to get one of the few seats in front room if not, back is fun too. Would recommend.

    Small LOVELY restaurant, where the owner is also erving the food and host the guests. The food is very good, served very nice and of high quality. Too expenssive, in my opinion.

    We really liked this place, staff are friendly staff, and the food is very good. If staying near here, it's worth reserving dinner.

    Super experience for our first dinner in Portugal. Authentic food and very small restaurant, maybe 10 tables. Beef and codfish were excellent. They accept card (except Amex) No outdoor seating

    Small dining area, about ten tables. Service was excellent, very attentive. Food was good, very rustic feel. We had the rabbit in meatballs and boneless duck leg, bread with chorizo flavored olive oil and jam to start.

    This is a fantastic gem of a restaurant! Hands down our best meal of the trip. Local, creative, superbly delicious. We learned about Marcos and his fantastic restaurant from friends who had lived in Lisboa. We feel so lucky to have eaten here! Marcos knows his wine so let him choose the pairings for you. Best dinner can’t wait to come back!!!

    We stumbled upon this wonderful, local restaurant shortly after arriving into Lisbon. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It was close to closing (near 22:00) but we were welcomed in and never rushed to leave. The food was top notch and atmosphere cozy. Get the shrimp wrapped in potato appetizer. And the white bean stew with squid, mussels, and clams was amazing. And the host recommended the best white wine pairing. Very reasonably priced.

    Wonderful food, especially enjoyed the shrimp appetizer and the bean and seafood stew. Also liked the low key atmosphere and friendly service.

  • 5/5 Marnie M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food and service is very good. I really appreciated the help in choosing a great wine and port with dessert. We had the steak and octopus both delicious. The chocolate cake and peanut ice cream were delightful. Cheers!

    We felt like we were eating in someones home kitchen! The environment is so intimate and cozy, and we got exceptional service and food!

  • 5/5 Heather S. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful food at great prices! I had the Azoran beef with a delicious cream sauce & fries. My companions had the deep fried shrimp/bean soup and it too looked amazing. I had the chocolate trinity for dessert and it packed a punch of flavor without unnecessary sugar. Service was attentive and friendly, and our server was very knowledgeable about which wines would go best with our mains. An absolutely lovely evening.

    Wonderful restaurant. Unique and delicious food and wine, all served up by the kindest owner who makes you feel like family. Not sure what else anyone would want in a restaurant.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth D. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent service. Great atmosphere. Perfectly cooked steak. Delicious lobster soup. Not too sweet dessert with a memorable flavor. Delicious wine. All at a reasonable price. Wish I was staying an extra night so I could come back again. Next trip!

    I came here with family, and the service was great. Didn’t feel rushed and the atmosphere had a local Portuguese twist. The food was delicious. Especially the lamb chops and the chorizo olive oil. Definitely a must see!
