A couple years back I went to the one close to Av da Liberdade, it was good. This time I gave it a go, perhaps not the best option for a couple due to the type of cuisine, best to go in a larger group so you can ask for a varied selection. The quality was good but overall tasteless...the patatas bravas were mediocre and the sauce non authentic, puntillitas were good but overall fried is a difficult one to judge, the mushrooms with prosciutto were actually good and the pica pai de buey.
