Second, the food is just great (and you know how quickly good news spreads ! Start with the beetroot strawberry gazpacho, it's just like a yummy nutritious combo fruit smoothie! We noticed that the octopus with sweet potato purè and greens was popular with fellow diners so that was a no brainer (see, that's how good news spreads quickly! . The taste of the  traditional codfish stew rounded it all out with it's good old homecooking style goodness. This restaurant seems to be run very ably by a couple distinguished both by their congenitality and efficiency. The ambience resembles more someone's sitting room at home than a swanky restaurant. That and the wonderful food are MDS's biggest cachet. Price per person: €15–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Beets and Strawberry Gazpacho

Authentic, home-cooked food in a cosy and warm setting which hardly feels like a restaurant and more like the dining room of a family home. The service is welcoming, warm and very genuine and the food was excellent. This really set the tone for the rest of our trip. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: €45–50

We started with the sheep’s milk cheese appetizer—creamy deliciousness! I had the traditional codfish stew and my wife had the octopus in olive oil and wine. Again, amazing! The goat cheese with quince cake dessert was not on the online menu, but I would definitely recommend it, too! All in all, if we were staying longer in Lisbon, we would definitely return. Next time!
