Although the owner didn’t speak English and we couldn’t see a menu, that didn’t stop us having an excellent lunch! We ate fish, local sausage and chips, all simple but cooked very well. The place is full of characters, nice and rustic with great service. Great spot by the river.

Very friendly staff. Food prepared by an excellent cook. The gentleman who serves customers is a gem of a person. I strongly recommend.

It is clearly a space with no pretensions to luxury, but located in a very pleasant area, with very well prepared and appetizing food.I recommend the stone soup, but you should try the starters before that.Reasonable prices (even cheap for the quality presented)I highly recommend it.

We were climbing the urban hills of Lisbon, starting to learn the topography and neighborhoods of the city, and found ourselves famished and slightly exhausted in a semi-commercial street of the Barrio Alta. A few cafes punctuated the flat residential facades with tables spilling into the streets; we picked this one for no particular reason, perhaps that the friendly proprietor allowed us to peruse the menus as best we could, slowly, and only offered insights when we asked. But ask we did, and we sat down and were served some grilled fish, new to us, and we've eaten a lot of fish. The preparation was perfect, the fish fell from the bone, and the combination of char from the grill, and moisture and flavor in the white fish, made for a perfect meal. The meat side of the menu was also thoroughly developed, and traditional appetizers were swiftly on the table prepared by a deft hand. No doubt some excellent talent in the kitchen, and access to varied and fresh local ingredients. Not much was made of wine service, but a servicable bottle at a very reasonable price kept our minds on the food, service and streetscape. Among the most casual restaurants we ate at, it was also among the best. We left restored and ready to out-climb the 28 tram as needed to explore some more.

This was a great find for very authentic Portuguese food . You would expect a restaurant like this in a small town in the hills in the middle of the country. Not in metropolitan Lisbon. If you like blood sausage I would highly recommend giving it a try . I had the pork which was delicious and the desserts were special local dishes. One was a squash cake and the other involved nuts .

One of the best experiences we've had! Mr João is one of the best in the business! And Ms. Célia’s hands are worth gold! Thank you for this moment, sharing and such a good dinner! With the promise of coming back for a hangout!
They increased the price of the dishes as if it were a luxury restaurant. When you eat and have to swat away the flies and the price of the dish is €13.00 or more you feel like you are being cheated.

Delicious food, the ameijoas and meat were incredible. But service a bit overwhelmed (1 guy for dozens of guests) so we gave up on ordering dessert. Also kitchen is opened so expect your clothes to smell a lot. There were some super loud people (friends from the kitchen staff) intermittently speaking super loud, not super great to have a nice intimate dinner.
