It is on a busy street corner so rush our was rather loud, but the service was impeccable. Nice wine selection. We had the fried calamari and bacalhua and the grilled octopus. FANTASTIC FOOD! Perfectly cooked and lovely presentation. When in Lisbon, don't miss it! Price per person: €30–35 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

I would talk about the menu but I can only speak to the one dish I order religiously--the grilled dourade. No other place grills fish this well. They score the flesh and grill it until the skin is crispy but the meat is still tender. Always seasoned perfectly. No drowning in olive oil and garlic so you can't even taste the fish anymore. Luciana and the team always provide exceptional service, attentive and generous. A real gem in a neighborhood full of mediocre offerings. Price per person: €25–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
