I’m not a fan of Portuguese food in general. This place is my go-to for Portuguese food. The octopus here gave me a new perspective on what to expect. It was so tender and the rice dish was so flavourful that I have no comparison to offer.

Cosa posso dire? Davvero tutto ottimo a parte la fila da farsi se si vuole mangiare qui. Non abbiamo preso antipasti perché a furia di gamberi non ne volevamo vedere più, abbiamo dunque preso solo portante principali nello specifico 2; 1) Branzino al sale con verdure: davvero ottimo, scenografica la presentazione in cui ti viene servito al tavolo famble e porzionato, le verdure prese di accompagnamento erano deliziose, sguazzavano nell olio ma il sapore e il profumo non si possono descrivere. 2) Riso e polpo grigliato: davvero una pietanza saporita, il riso croccante e ben condito e il polpo bello morbido e gustoso. Il servizio molto attento e cortese. L' unica cosa che ancora non capisco é perché le porzioni sono sempre troppo abbondanti e come se la portata fosse di base da dividere perché davvero eccessiva, tuttavia per com'é buona si mangia tutto. L'attesa vale la pena ma andate li verso le 19:30 massimo altimenti non riuscite ad accomodarvi per le 21:30 orario di chiusura. NB: i prezzi non sono quelli dei menù che si vedono dalle recensioni in quanto sono aumentati ma comunque nella media della zona
