Rémy BonnafféSeptember 11, 2013sublime. Great price to quality ratio. Very nice atmosphere and lovely staff. Great place!
Muffin ManSeptember 7, 2017WHY THERE: slow service, nice interior. DISHES: interesting, but questionable and preparation takes long. LOCATION: close to mainstream. PRICES: higher average (unreasonable)
Evgenia UglovaDecember 27, 2015Nice wine and good service. Tune tartare was amazing, but main dish (cod) was quite expensive disappointment :(
Pedro Couto e SantosDecember 12, 2014The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very nice and homely.
DJ StrouseNovember 30, 2017Underwhelming tbh; would only return if a business expense. Black pork fantastic. LT egg great. Burger pretty bad. Rest ok.
HD 7b73a4a6March 24, 2016Nice food but but u have to eat before u come as the portions very very small and they take lots of time to prepare each order 😂😂
Samantha Va VeloceJuly 10, 2017Sophisticated food and combinations of ingredients, unfortunately service and atmosphere not at the same level.
Excellent food. Simple but very tasty. Great ambiance & good service.
- Great ambiance! Service ok. Food is good! Try the "Prego Convento Alcantra".
NiklasJune 28, 2014Really not as good as you hope. Menu sounds great but tastes rather boring. With basil means some torn leaves on top. Not very creative. Creme brûlée wasn't crispy and Fries as a side?!
Luis DiasMarch 22, 2013My second time here. Despite all the respect for Chef Avillez and its work, I'm thinking I won't come back. Touristic-ish, overpriced and hyped place, to say the least. Lisbon has better options imho.
