Un vrai petit restaurant lisboete très sympa. Cuisine parfaite, service excellent, fréquenté que par une clientèle habituée. Idéalement situé à côté du métro Aereio, on peut s’arrêter la manger le midi avant de reprendre le métro

Stopped by to sample the famous Portugese cod and was not dissappointed! Homestyle fish and chips were excellent along with the Tiramisu. Coffee was decent.

Comida caseira deliciosa, pratos do dia variados e uma equipa super simpática. O cozido à portuguesa é imperdível, o bitoque de frango é saborosíssimo e as favas são uma verdadeira delícia. E para fechar com chave de ouro, provem a sobremesa “Pinga Amor”… simplesmente irresistível!
