Located in the fascinating narrow streets of Alfama district, this tiny restaurant/wine bar offers high quality tapas and a wide selection of wines (especially Porto): it is perfect if you look for appetizers or even for a complete dinner (as we had), since by ordering few plates you can get a filling, varied and tasty Portuguese meal. The staff is very kind and helpful, the atmosphere is cosy and relaxed. I recommend this place to people who want to escape from the touristy Fado-restaurants.

We found this place by chance, because we wanted just some olives and a glass of wine in the afternoon to overcome the hunger between afternoon and dinner. Friendly staff, cosy ambience, dozens of artful anchovi cans (good present to bring home), dozens of Porto wines to taste, we enjoyed it and stumbled out head up...

My husband and I drove for half an hour to get to this little place, and it was so worth it. At first sight it looks uncomfortable because it's so tiny, but that's what makes it special. The food is prepared on the spot (no cooking). We ordered different platters (tapas) that included the chickpea/bell pepper salad, tomato/sesame/walnut salad, sardines with tomato pesto and mackerel and we honestly could have ordered everything on that menu because every one of those plates was delicious and fresh. I wanted to order the green salad as well but since it was New Year's Day, the wonderful staff told us that they can't make that since they were unable to buy any fresh produce that same day (all markets were closed). That in itself tells you how fresh it is. Top quality food and lovely in every way.
