The worst. Got starters we did not order, and had to pay if we tasted some. The cheese looked like it had been sitting out in the sun a couple of days. Stay away. The music was good tho!

The most worst service ever! We came, and without ordering food yet, we got some bread, cheese and some rolls for starters. We didn't order this, so we thought these were starters from the house for welcome. At the end of the night, I see at our bill some amount of extra 16e. I asked just to check what that is and she wanted extra 16e for something we never ordered!!! She said if she puts bread on the table and I eat it I have to pay. I was shocked!!! I said if I wanted starters I could order something else for those 16e not bread she gave me. Does that mean that if she puts a glass of wine of 100e I have to pay for that too? This ruined the whole experience, I felt so bad. Fado music live. Singer is amazing. Sings from the heart. Food nothing special.

Pretty good! Great prices for a LOT of food. Come hungry because the portion sizes are huge. We got the sardines appetizer (more like a meal), octopus rice, and tuna black eyed peas salad. Most dishes come with a salad or with potatoes so prepare to be full. They had a nice outdoor patio to sit and enjoy the food. They also have live music every night at 6pm, it was I believe.

We visited the restaurant because we were staying nearby. The garden and the crowd in it were promising. Unfortunately, we waited for more than an hour for our food. I ordered the codfish but it was tough and dry like it had been frozen for a long time. The hostess didn't even apologize for the late food. I'm sorry I didn't read the reviews before we sat down. I rarely give low ratings, but these really don't deserve more. Prices too high for the quality of food and service.

(Translated by Google) Excellent restaurant with live and stray fado. 💯🆒 (Original) Excelente restaurante com fado ao vivo e desgarrada. 💯🆒

What you see in the picture is a 15€ portion of cuttlefish. When I got served the portion the smell was unbearable. Cuttle fish is one of my favorites and I know how it's done. The cooking was terrible with burned bits and no grill marks. I can guess it might have been either grilled in advance and warmed up on the grill or it was just old fish. My partner could smell something as soon as the plate got close to the table, when I complained the did change my portion to something else. I'm any case overall quality of the place bad, avoid it and don't make the same mistake we did. Pros. Polite service, good drinks, music. Food quality very low.

It took 15 minutes just for the waiter to take our drink orders. After another 10 minutes, we had to order again as the waited had forgotten our order. After another 5 minutes they found out that they didn't have all the drinks we ordered, so we had to re-order. The sangria was quite sour and tasted like they had mixed bad white wine with sparkling water. When paying, they "mistakenly" charged us 20 instead of 13 euros. It took us 5 minutes to get our 7 euros back, and they didn't even apologize.

It's a tourist trap. Terrible service. They are clearly understaffed. We waited forever. Waiter was in a bad mood and made mistakes, e.g. forgot the plate of one of us. Food was OK, just average, but poorly, quickly prepared, e.g the salmon was almost raw. Choose somewhere else.

I put 5 star for the service of waitress Senhora Augusta which gives to the client good service of her best. 1 star for the restaurant and food quality and their cheating for tourist people. The time we ask bill ,instead of bill they wrote on paper everything . As a person I live in PT so long time I can see the way they are trying to avoid to pay taxes to the government from what they are earning. Usually on the bill taxpayers can ask Fatura which with number of taxpayers but here is impossible on the paper lol. And when u ask to pay by card they even don't let you use card machine which shows its scammers,and they will show you nearest Euronet ATM which charger 2-3€extra for withdraw money . I been agreed to pay whatever the game they were playing bcz of respectful visitors if I'm alone or with another person I would never be agreed how they want. As a person I have been worked/experienced I would called police or give a call to social seguranca for thier illegal works. They just wanna rip of tourists, so sad.

Food is good. Performance. Service is busy. I would definitely recommend it anyway. General portions, fair price. And for local experience and fado. I would say it's a must for tourists.

First place we stopped as we arrived in Lisbon. Was warmly welcomed and given a table. The hostess there is so funny and a warm person. Food was out of this world and so we’re the drinks. 10/10 recommend

A typical good restaurant in Lisbon. Good food. Nice atmosphere and good Fado starting at 7 PM. Definitely a place where you can feel Lisbon in it's fullest apart from the mainstream roads.

It was a touristy destination for eats, but it was convenient for us to rest on the way to our place. The food was a decent Portuguese spread and reasonable in price, and it was interesting to watch the surroundings while eating outside in the patio area. I was still struggling with jetlag and not feeling the best, so I didn't eat much, but my octopus salad tasted fine. My mom enjoyed her sardines (minus the ridiculous amount of bones, but that's to be expected).

Visited for dinner on our 1st night in Lisbon - tol draw food, staff & atmosphere. Called in the other two nights fir a last drink on our way back to the apartment. Highly recommend.

Delicious, fresh food and friendly stuff! Came to have a glass of beer, ended up with bottle of great wine, sardines, topical Portuguese fish croquettes and even grilled calamare 🍷🍾👍🏻❤️😋.

Our recent dining experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, we encountered rude and unprofessional service from the staff. Their behavior was unacceptable and significantly impacted our experience. Additionally, the quality of the food fell far below what one would expect from such an establishment. Not only were the dishes flavorless, but they were also downright unpleasant. We were also made uncomfortable by the pressure not to talk during the Fado singing session. Overall, our experience at this restaurant was highly disappointing, and we cannot recommend it.

I had a great experience here, the woman ]who I believe manages the place is really nice and the waiters were so friendly to me. Prices were okay, food was okay, but the atmosphere, singing, and friendly waiters made me return a 2nd night. Kind of feels like the force you to stay and spend more money hahah but all in good spirit.

Nice place to eat and to experience the vibe of Alfama, especially if you get a table outside (very nice in the summer and fall), on the cross of two typical Alfama narrow streets. The food is great, large portions and all have side dishes even if they don't appear in the menu. The drinks menu is not so diversified but it's all you need. The prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly.

(Translated by Google) Nice atmosphere and quite cheap, but not cheap. The food was bad, the fish not gutted and bitter. The vegetables and potatoes were overcooked and not seasoned. On the bill then the tip was added, which I find personally dubious. It should be up to each one to decide how much the service was worth. (Original) Nettes Ambiente und recht günstig, aber nicht preiswert. Das Essen war schlecht, der Fisch nicht ausgenommen und dadurch bitter. Das Gemüse und die Kartoffeln waren verkocht und nicht gewürzt. Auf der Rechnung wurde dann noch der Tip addiert, was ich persönlich unseriös finde. Es sollte jedem selbst überlassen sein, wie viel ihm der Service wert war.

Not that good. The restaurant looks really nice but the food was bad. The fish dish smelled bad and the taste was the same with 3 different dishes. The steer was oke. When they start to play the live Fado music we had to be quite the whole time. Never again!

Terrible food I had the worst Portuguese steak I’d ever eaten and partner had a lukewarm lamb stew type dish which was all fat and bone -horrible taste too. Don’t waste your money!!!

I have visited the restaurant 3x, the food is good but the service is terrible. Except the second time I was served by a Brazilian waiter who was very attentive and kind! They bring appetizers that we didn't ask for and if we eat them because we think it's a courtesy we have to pay. The pina colada is also very good.

While I don’t agree with the 1-star reviews, the food is average and completely overpriced for the small portions. The sardines were not gutted. However, the atmosphere is great with live singing. A great place to drink a beer or sangria.

Better to be avoided. Stuff is kinda nice to you, but be careful, they play tricks with costumers. You order main food. First of all they serve you starters you do not order. So you expect its free of charge. Big mistake. I read some reviews below. I would called it 'cheese trap'. If you touch it, you will pay 10 euro at the end. Main food itself really do not worth the money. I would consider buying their main meal with 75% off. Even then I wouldnt be happy.

Worst experience from a service perspective and the food wasn't the best either. We were a table of six and out order came out after 1 hour and 30 minutes, plate by plate, 15 minutes apart... We were the second table to sit down and by the time our food even started coming out, some of the others had theirs already, even if they were also 6.... What was the worst part, at the end, we waited for the bill for half an hour, only to discover prices were made up by the owner. For example, we wanted just eggs - 9 euros for that. On the menu, the price was 10 euros for eggs and sausages. After the long wait and unfair prices, we spoke with the owner and he basically sat there making up the food prices for what wasn't 'a la carte'. Bottom line, food wasn't no where near as nice as other places we've tried before. Long wait for the food and rude owner. Also expect unfair, made up prices.

The restaurant's name sounds ordinary but this place a true pearl of Alfama. A great local food was served to the sound of live fado singers. We ate a delicious grilled dorade and a salad. The caramel pudding was divine. The sangria was so good that we drank it with the food instead of ordering wine. Would love to return there.

The food that is presented on their menu was not the food that was served. The service was awful and the people there were rude. Do not come here! Only good thing about this place was the Fado.

The octopus salad smelled like rotten flesh. Also, the grilled cod was slightly smelly, but not as bad as the octopus. The octopus was removed by the waiter without any discussion. It is a pity, because the staff were nice. But that’s the only positive description of this place we had. There is no excuse to treat customers like this. Serving spoilt fish is very dangerous.

A nice restaurant with a mostly high quality fado performance of different artists. Hendriqua and José are amazing! The meals are delicious, portuguese and the prices are appropriate. My recommendation!

Its cute atmosphere but quality of food quality is really low. There is no taste or flavor in salads. I got sardine and it was below average. Unless your are miserable to eat, go anywhere else

I only had a few beers here on a very nice night when Fado was also being played. They play it in smaller blocks throughout the night and it is very disrespectful to talk during these blocks of music. They really take it seriously, so pay attention as their music is amazing. Sometimes even the waiters and waitresses are also singing. The atmosphere was very cozy and felt familiar. Also tasted a tiny bit of the food of friends and I liked it.

Cheap food but good quality. As in all restaurants side dishes need to be paid for. Black sausage is black pudding so be careful. It may not be what u expect.

Cosy place, but really basic overcooked seafood is served

Fair price with drink

We had only starters here and vinho verde. It was good. The waiter brought starters on his choice but we only accepted some of it and it was fine. Good place to sit and relax.

Great food and drink. Great prices and even greater service. Highly recommended

I had fish with my girlfriend and we shared a bottle of wine for 45€ total. This was dreadful. I regret not going to the kebab grill, the man there looked just as nice but the food was probably less dry and frozen. The 🐙 I had was half burnt and half rubber, the fish was weirdly mushy and brown and bitter??, and the only positive was that the two pieces of brockoli were tasty and the location does not have a view but is nice anyway.

Food was ok, and portions small. Seating outside was nice. Its one of those places that you really just go "meh"

The restaurant is located outside of a secluded street. The food depends upon the dish was ok. Grilled octopus was good although it was not salty and dipped in to a lot of olive oil with garlic and coriander. It was a very decent portion of grilled octopus. Fried shrimp left a lot to be desired. They were dry. On the other hand, bacalhau Portugal traditionally fish was great. Served with patatos in the accompaniment of coriander. Perfect. Summing it all up it is a OK restaurant.

Not usually one to write a bad review as I know it can effect companies however this is worth an exception. The food was absolutely dreadful, the pizza and lasagne was cooked from frozen. The portion of chips shows for itself. Finally, personally I had a mixed grill and there was absolutely no taste to it. Unfortunate as I’ve been to many nice Portuguese restaurants.

Walking around old town and found this yummy restaurant. Good food, good service, good taste and good price. It made my trip perfect. Highly recommended.

cosy vibe. great food, lovely hostesses at the door. Fado was beautiful, duet was a highlight.
