This restaurant came highly recommended by our Airbnb host. Ironically, it was the worst meal we had in Lisbon. The appetizers were good (clams and sardines), but we also ordered soups that were so salty they were inedible. As the night went on, the service went from attentive and friendly to condescending. The waiter frequently smirked at us when she asked how our meal was.I felt like we were increasingly punished by the staff because we didn’t fall for their gambit of bringing out bread, olives, and charcuterie early in the night. And it just got worse from there.Please avoid.Update: I actually got horrible food poisoning from this restaurant.

Between good cuisine and tourist rip-offs. The atmosphere in the small side street is very cool, there's just something about it, but you have to expect the occasional car driving past you. But it also has its charm. Before the meal, pre-packaged bread and dry sausages are served as “starters”. The guest is only half-heartedly informed that you only pay if you eat it - or not informed about it at all, as was the case at our neighboring table.The fish and meat dishes are very good, the portions are neat and nicely draped, the salads are very fresh and balanced. Beforehand there was a fish soup (surely charged for somewhere) which, apart from the slightly overcooked noodles, was also very tasty. There is a large wine selection. Food-wise it would actually be fine. However, some of the employees were very unfriendly to guests, despite the fact that hardly anyone gets lost away from the viewing point. In addition, the “starter” was added to our bill even though we didn’t eat any of it. And at €7.80, it's not exactly cheap either. The other prices did not match those on the menu either - on the grounds that the menu was still out of date. Regarding the starter, it was said that we had touched a roll (in the plastic bag!), so it could no longer be sold and we had to pay for this "service". In short: Good food, the ambience is fine, the service is subpar and the guest is ripped off in terms of price.What was funny was that there was a sticker from Ratiopharm Ulm on the wall directly opposite - so they were definitely not the first from Baden-Württemberg to get lost here.

Very nice waiters, the food was outstanding + a free fish soup in advance with a greeting from the kitchen (free of charge). Toilets very clean. Nice atmosphere, very cozy (outside). We'd love to come back!

This restaurante is a scam. They bring you different bites to the table and the waiter leave it there without saying anything, and then when they bring you the check, thet charge you 3€ for the bread, 3 € for the butter, and 9 € for a plate of cheese. When you tell them that they brought this but you didn’t ask for it, they say that you should know that everything that they put in the table is not for free. That is absolutely a scam. DON’T GO TO THIS RESTAURANTE
Very good food, especially the sea bream Portuguese style and charged my phone for me when I needed it in a hurry ?

Delicious food, very good service, friendly, cloth tablecloth, fish soup and complimentary shot, at no time do they want to confuse you with the starters as happens in other restaurants. I recommend the bacalhao to Brass, the best I have ever eaten. A pleasure.

Disappointment with all the letters. A cold Galician-style octopus as if it just came out of the refrigerator. 2 tables occupied throughout the room and 1 hour for the food to arrive. Exorbitant prices for the poor quality of the food.

We were recommended by our Airbnb tenant to this restaurant near by. To our surprise, we found that this restaurant has a 5 stars rating, food was excellent and the service was tip top and very attendant. Further more, we had complimentary sea food soup and at the end of our dinner, we were served Portuguese sweet wine. Very good service & price in Lisbon.
