While the food was great, and my server friendly, I was unhappy with the overall experience. I booked the codfish, which came on a sizzling plate. The friendly server put it right in front of me. While I immediately moved back with my chair, my trousers were sprayed full of oil within a fraction of a second. The server sad sorry, but I felt he was mostly indifferent. When paying the bill, I showed him again my stained trousers. He was now very apologetic, but I was surprised that I was still expected to pay the bill in full. I explained that I was disappointed by this, my server discussed this with the other personnel, but concluded that I would still need to pay the full price. I had to go back to my hotel, change my trousers, and hope that I'll be able to remove the stains.

Read moreSo I actually don’t like to leave bad reviews but I came here yesterday with my family, we booked a table for 4 inside and when we arrived they had us waiting for over 20 min to sit inside and then 30 minutes to just prepare the table.

I hope it was just our experience but it wasn’t a good one...
Read moreI went to the aquarium of Vasco da Gama and decided to drop by and have some food.
To start things off, this is my first time having bacalhau so I don't have an objective standard. And I don't usually like eggs(I wasn't expecting them), which impacted how much I enjoyed the food.
Portions are pretty huge for good prices though, if you stay or live near Algés/Belem you could stop by.
In general this is a pretty nice neighborhood café and I had a good time with the staff. They have a very wide and affordable selection of cocktails that I regret not choosing from.
p.s. Andre and the others if you read this thanks for my last dinner in Portugal. I had a good time...
