Great cozy place and very taste sea food. Reservation is recommended since it is quite a small restaurant. The service is really great, everybody is friendly and attentive. I would go back anytime. Thank you Tharcyl for the great experience!

Amazing meal and service. We had the tuna loin (tataki) and the octopus, and both were wonderful. Very reasonably priced for the quality and excellent service. Highly recommended!

The BEST restaurant in Lisbon. The risotto and octopus were cooked perfectly not too salty, not too bland just perfect! The servers were super friendly and professional. Also the dessert was on the spot! This would be the first and the last meal I would go for!

Excellent food with great service. The atmosphere was also cozy and inviting.Had octopus salad, which had amazing blend of olive oil and balsamic vinegar that added ample flavour.Cod Fish and octopus main were also amazing though the cod was slightly too salty. Octopus was perfect.Vino Verde went down smoothly, with crisp fruity taste.Thyrce (? Misspelling his name) provided great service with attentiveness and friendliness.

Brilliant little restaurant with great service and outstanding food, ceviche with tuna was perfectly balanced & sea brim was more than brilliant. Good price vs quality combination. Definitely suggest. Wiki took great care of me.
