The grilled octopus is excellent but remains expensive. The setting is pleasant with its terrace. The service is great!!

Friends, go there :) Best Arroz de Marisco in town. Very friendly service, it's small and cozy. A little away from the tourist crowds.

We went for lunch and returned for dinner. Cod, in any of its forms, is a delight. The cod fritters ???

We dropped in here for a meal at 7pm on a Saturday night. The place was empty.
Hard to understand. The food was good, the service excellent and very reasonably priced. Especially considering the prime location.
Recommend.

Among the seafood rice I tried in both Lisboa and Porto (all popular places), this turned out as the best one.
Everything was seasoned and cooked just right. They use a specific type of crab (i don’t know exactly what type, but it seems like blue crab or flower crab) which adds extra sweetness and savory to the soup compared to regular crabs, not to mention there was so much seafood so you can imagine layers of flavour in the soup. I was so full I had to leave behind a lot of mussels and shrimps.
Only one down side is that perhaps because they cooked the seafood with the rice for long, the seafood was a little bit firm. But I don’t mind at all since that’s what makes this dish the bomb.
I came across this restaurant completely by chance, and so glad that I chose to dine here. I will forever dream of this seafood rice

Friendly waiter, and we were welcome on the terrace with our dog. We ordered the cod and it was perfectly cooked. The only negative was that the portions were very small.
