Whilst waiting for your food they bring you a pre appetiser and ask if you would like it, I did; I found it quite a treat. I ordered the salmon and wasabi tacos... A delightful experience that I wasn't expecting. Then came the main came; octopus and scallop Pad Thai with a Tamarind sauce, all whilst sipping away on a lovely fruity cocktail (gin or no gin up to you, I had gin). I can honestly say that was the best fusion meal I have had.

Soon he came back with a bread basket, carefully introduced the bread and dippings. Food was good but overall not impressive. We were charged almost 10 euro for the bread. He didn 't tell us it 's an option so we thought it 's an offer as usual. When I questioned, they said it 's the Portuguese way . I suggest they should make it clear to customers especially when they are foreigners. They said they usually do (Guess we are not lucky? . We have been in Lisbon for a few days, dined in restaurants twice a day, this Portuguese way is the first time. And I honestly don 't feel they are apologetic at all. It 's high season with so many foreigners in town, it should be basic for them to make it clear when serving especially it 's a high-end restaurant. The bread basket is not tasty at all, we left most of them to our 2 year old and 5 year old.
