The fries are very bad, and the rest of the food, like the octopus, is very average.

The sangria was mediocre at best (3/5). The Spaghetti Bolognese was extremely bland, tasted very lean and lacked seasoning almost completely. My wife ordered the grill platter, I had bitoque with chicken and a fish soup. While the main dishes were just about acceptable, the fish soup was not good and cannot be recommended. What was especially disappointing: no desserts at all. No ice cream, no chocolate mousse, no Pastéis de Belém and not even a simple Pastel de Nata – which is quite surprising for a restaurant in this area. The espresso at the end was poor, around 2/5, and did not leave a good final impression. Overall, the food lacked flavor and attention to detail. There are clearly better options nearby. ⸻ Avaliação Crítica em Português (2/5) Comemos neste restaurante e ficámos desiludidos. No geral, a experiência não merece mais do que 2 em 5. A sangria foi apenas aceitável (3/5). O esparguete à bolonhesa era muito fraco, sem tempero e com um sabor demasiado simples. A minha esposa pediu o prato de grelhados, eu pedi bitoque com frango e uma sopa de peixe. Os pratos principais foram apenas razoáveis, mas a sopa de peixe foi má e não é recomendável. O mais negativo foi a ausência total de sobremesas: não havia gelado, mousse de chocolate, Pastéis de Belém nem sequer um Pastel de Nata, o que é bastante estranho. O expresso no final foi fraco, cerca de 2/5, deixando uma má impressão final. No geral, a comida faltou sabor e cuidado. Existem opções muito melhores na zona.

The Spaghetti Bolognese was very bland, almost completely unseasoned and tasted quite lean. My wife ordered the grilled platter, while I had bitoque with chicken and a fish soup. The main dishes were edible but unremarkable; however, the fish soup was disappointing and not worth ordering. A major letdown was the lack of desserts. There was no ice cream, no chocolate mousse, no Pastéis de Belém and not even a Pastel de Nata, which is unexpected for a restaurant in this location. The espresso was weak and tasteless, roughly 2 out of 5, leaving a poor final impression. Additionally, no receipt was provided, and the bill was settled without issuing a proper receipt, which was surprising and disappointing. Overall, the food lacked depth and flavor. Uninspiring and forgettable, with better alternatives nearby. ⸻ Avaliação em Português – Crítica (2/5) Jantámos neste restaurante e a experiência ficou aquém das expectativas. A sangria foi apenas mediana (3/5). O esparguete à bolonhesa era muito simples, praticamente sem tempero e com pouco sabor. A minha esposa pediu o prato grelhado, eu pedi bitoque com frango e uma sopa de peixe. Os pratos principais eram comestíveis, mas sem destaque; a sopa de peixe foi fraca e não compensa. Outro ponto negativo foi a total ausência de sobremesas. Não havia gelados, mousse de chocolate, Pastéis de Belém nem sequer um Pastel de Nata, algo inesperado para este tipo de restaurante. O expresso era fraco, cerca de 2/5, e fechou a refeição de forma negativa. Além disso, não foi entregue qualquer recibo, e o valor foi cobrado sem emissão de fatura/recibo, o que consideramos negativo. No geral, faltou sabor, cuidado e profissionalismo. Uma experiência esquecível, havendo opções melhores nas redondezas.
