    I arrived straight from the airport for dinner at 8:30 pm, a very pleasant place and great atmosphere I ordered the octopus, and we drank the Cancela de Abreu reserve wine. The octopus was the best I've ever tasted, delicious! The extremely efficient, fast and friendly service - we really loved it The wine was wonderfully fruity and combined wonderfully with the delicacy of the octopus! A great, highly recommended restaurant, well located close to Av Liberdade, a place to definitely return to! Thanks!

    Very disappointed with their raclette. I came with a friend who had already been there and showed me a photo of their raclette which was really tempting. So we arrived, the raclette machine was ready. A salad arrived, then the charcuterie platter (which had a bad taste by the way). And the icing on the cake, we had 4, I said 4, pieces of cheese for a raclette for two people. Me being a big eater, I was left hungry. Because 13 extra cheese. And all this for €26 per person.

    Excellent place to go and have some great food along with some perfect wine. The staff is extremely thoughtful and always available to offer an advice or food pairings. We had the raclette that tasted deliciously and at the end a Madeira wine for dessert. Thank you

    This was my favorite restaurant in Lisbon during my 5 day visit. The charcuterie board for two provided a huge variety of meats, dried fruit, and pickled vegetables. The poached sea bass was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and matched the delicious side of grilled vegetables. My favorite was the grilled octopus which was perfectly seasoned and very tender. Finishing the dinner with their not overly sweet creme brulee was perfect. Also, their wine and whiskey made for a wonderful evening!

    We had a wonderful evening here. Our hostess Clara took the time to give us a warm welcome. She paired our dinner courses with delicious wines, so she gave us really good advice. The restaurant has a romantic atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Anne-sophie C. 1 year ago on Google • 35 reviews
    Very pleasant welcome with a very pleasant waitress of Brazilian origin, a beautiful restaurant well decorated with good spaces. Very smiling waitresses and above all a good atmosphere between them and the cooks. We feel good there. But above all a very very good meal. To top it all off, they speak French.

    Average yet priced more than normal. My lamb shank was cold inside since it is precocked and only heated later. Wine was below average yet octopusy was great as friends said.

    Amazing restaurant!!! The service was incredible, the food amazing! We tried the Fois Gras for appetizers which was so so good! Really recommend this place. Super cosy and good price 😁 Thanks again we will be back!

  • 1/5 Sonia 9 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Service = great / Food = basic and not very tasty. Super salty tapenade, dry chicken, overcooked salmon. The restaurant had 3 or 4 tables occupied and at 8pm there were no longer several dishes and desserts available. With a concise menu (which is positive) you can expect all dishes to be available and tasty. Will it be a bad luck day?

  • 4/5 Евеліна �. 1 year ago on Google • 4 reviews
    The interior is beautiful, place looks good and have pleasant atmosphere. After ordering we waited for our dishes 45 min. The Lamb shank was cold but tasted good, nice sauce but I had to ask the manager to cook it more to make it warm. The salmon was dry but ok. And the duck ravioli was good, really tasty meat. All dishes were beautifully dressed. The service is okay, stuff did their job well. At the end they remove my dish (the lamb shank) from the bill. At all we spend good evening.

    Amazing place with very nice dishes and a very professional service! French kitchen worth of a Michelin with very reasonable prices! Definitely recommend!

  • 4/5 Donncha C. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff were exceptional. Burrata with cherry tomatoes was amazing. Foie Gras also amazing. Salmon vol au vents were good but a little too watery and a little over salted + veggies too firm. Lamb shank was solid. Definitely a recommended stop.

  • 5/5 pam c. 1 year ago on Google
    We only had drinks and dessert but it was fantastic! Highly recommend the chocolate torte and the espresso martini! The place smelled amazing and we wish we would have eaten there one night. Really cool spot with great atmosphere!

    Perfect. The food, the wine and the amazing service. One little secret in Lisboa. A must if you are in town. We are definitely coming back because fortunately we live here!

  • 3/5 Marc P V. 1 year ago on Google
    What a let down. After reading the reviews I was excited about this place. I quickly realize it's a tourist trap. The restaurant is trying...but it's only mediocre compare to similar restaurant at that price. The fois gras was from a can and tasteless. Octopus was just okay. It's pretty sweet and I can see why Americans would like it. Go to Jenecquoi for a bit more money but a real experience

  • 5/5 Sylvain N. 3 years ago on Google

    Delicious food at affordable prices and exceptional service by our waiter. Burrata is delicious and the salmon meal as well.

  • 4/5 Pieter B. 3 years ago on Google
    I had the idea that they changed the menu (made it much smaller). Food was still ok, but the (new) menu did not appeal to me, so it was difficult to choose something. Pity because my memory of a visit two years orso ago was much better than this experience.

  • 5/5 Raymond R. 3 years ago on Google
    Excelent wine selection, gentle staff and the food is great and priced according to the standards of the restaurant. I would recommend it for a romantic dinner or a wine-tasting session.

  • 4/5 Luis Filipe V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Expensive!! But undeniable taste! The love for wines (see where the 45th parallel in France goes) Boss inspirations (which leave us sighing for a little more generous amount) But charm and elegance are there. worth a try (Original) Caro!! Mas inegável gosto! O amor pelos vinhos (vejam onde passa o paralelo 45 em França) As inspirações de chefe (que nos deixam a suspirar por uma quantidade um pouco mais generosa) Mas o charme e a elegância .estão lá. Vale a pena experimentar

  • 1/5 Максим �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The service is excellent, the wine list is good. I was unpleasantly surprised by the quality of the main dishes: the octopus was very overcooked and salted, the stewed pork had no taste or food whatsoever. Heavily salted, incomprehensible consistency. Strongly do not recommend this place! (Original) Сервис отличный, винная карта хорошая. Был неприятно удивлен качеством основных блюд: осьминог был сильно пережарен и пересолен, тушеная свинина вообще не имела никакого вкуса и отношения к еде. Сильно пересолена, непонятной консистенции. Категорически не рекомендую данное место!

Water is €4,-. Op zich wel goede service, toen we de wijn niet lekker vonden kregen we zonder problemen een andere.
