You know those local places that you love. Well the one next-door that is closed. I love went there and they went on vacation for about a month. So I knocked on the window of their neighbor noticed a decent place. That’s very narrow with only a few tables. The lady said I can’t take you in because I’m booked but come back in 30 minutes.

So you told me to have the fried cod, although I preferred to grilled, but he told me to get the fried which I did, but he told me the grilled octopus would be phenomenal too, but I said you know what let’s do the fried cod.

Read moreThis place is a MUST if you are in Lisbon!!
We lived in an airbnb just around the corner from this place and passed by every evening. EVERY time we passed by the place was packed and seemd to have a lovely vibe inside so for the last evening we booked a table here.
The place is run by the son of the family who started the place an he was super nice. We ordered the steak of the house and a whole grilled fish. The food may not look much to the world from the pics, but trust me it was damn delicious. If your looking for a great local spot with Potugese food, this is it. No fuzz, just good ingredients and great taste.
Also the prices...
