Had an overnight in Lisbon on a recent cruise and planned to return to a restaurant we had visited on a previous Lisbon break. We arrived at 7pm as the restaurant opened which was a wise move as it soon filled up. Joao looked after us going through the portuguese menu with us to help us decide. We had a mixed platter of delicious meats and cheeses with a lovely pear chutney and lots of varieties of bread with beers to accompany it. We all had steaks, each with a different sauce, accompanied by lovely fresh fries and washed down with a litre of house red. More wine and fries were offered.

I really enjoyed the service, despite there being only one person serving all of the tables, he was super nice to us and was giving plenty of attention to every customer. Overall, this place combines low priced, big portioned, traditional meals while still being well arranged and...
