Denis MoskaletsNovember 12, 2017Amazing place! We had Octopus (polvo) cooked 4 different ways and it's super tasty! Big portions and cheap. They also have some craft beers and fresh home wine. Accepts only Portuguese bank cards

Rokas PociusMay 6, 2016Must reserve in advance, otherwise will be waiting for 1 hour for your octopus. Very tiny room. Octopus was well cooked, but had no taste at all. Potatoes too simple, nothing interesting. Overpriced.Upvote1Downvote1
