Outstanding little place for wine, small plates, and amazing atmosphere. The food was all local and absolutely incredible and the sommelier (Maria) who runs the place incredibly warm and welcoming while having a knack for finding the perfect glass of wine for her customers. Can't recommend enough! Come here!!!!
One caveat: the menu is a bit misleading on the price per glass of wine, which seemed to imply they're all the same price; they're not quite (ours ranged from €5-€7 for everything from a premium douro to a lovely sparkling) but you absolutely get what you pay for.

Read moreThis place deserves 10 stars.

Read moreIncredible. Such a wonderful bar - incredible selection of wines. It was an education, a very tasty and enjoyable one. Far better than any guided wine tasting.
Maria is a magician, she reads people and their tastes and preferences so well. Rather than being guided by a region or grape, she proffers a range of wines based on personal preferences.
I went with my family for one glass (best we’ve had in many visits to Portugal), they left to put my daughter to bed.
I left many glasses later, having been kindly introduced to Maria’s friends as I was on my own,
