Reviews
Its very small so quite intense and the staff will chat to you, ask you questions and generally be interested in you – it’s wonderful but maybe not everyones vibe
The owner warned me that this is not a restaurant but a kitchen.
She cooks for you like you are in her home – ensuring that you are eating things the right way and enjoying them.
It seems the only poor reviews she gets is due to limited hours or running out of food (there’s always a line out of the door). Again it is important to note that this is not a typical restaurant. If you are fortunate enough to sit in the restaurant and experience this chefs passion for her cooking, you will understand.
Despite the fantastic meal and unique experience, the cost is arguably TOO low. She would not accept more money or even a tip.
This is a very special restaurant owned by a very special individual.
It’s a very small spot in the heart of Lisbon with some of the best food and vibes you’ll find anywhere in Portugal.
Sonya (the chef and owner) is the sweetest, most hard-working person, who pours her heart into this restaurant. Despite being busy all the time, she still manages to run the place beautifully.
The food is amazing, fresh, and incredibly cheap! We ordered a whole chicken, roasted potatoes with bacon, mashed potatoes, rice with veggies, salads, and a few other dishes—and everything was SO GOOD!
Yes, the place is very busy, with only two tables (one for 2 people and one for 4–6). That means people without reservations usually end up waiting outside for quite a while to be seated. I’d recommend going there in person to make a reservation (since they might be too busy to answer the phone), or just walk in and order take-away.
100% recommend it!
And just a tip… don’t be impatient or expect royal treatment when you go. Understand that they’re working at full capacity from the moment they open—so relax, enjoy the vibe, the smell of the grill, and the music, and you’ll be just fine!
First off, addressing other one star reviews, we didn’t experience any discrimination at all.
The owner was welcoming and talking to all the guests. The only reason I can explain it to others is that her communication is direct, much like Italy or any other European country. It is to be expected and if you expect to have a servant… then go to fine dining. There was a point where we wanted more chicken and the chef asked if we were sure. Perhaps it would have been offensive to these people giving low reviews but to me it really seemed like she was being caring more than condescending.
There were points where I thought she was being a little tough on her staff. I didnt see any scolding but there were points where she was telling them they were doing tasks slow. The wait staff were incredibly nice and I can tell they are good people.
As for the food, hands down the best frango and grilled meats we had in Lisbon by far. Nothing even comes close, and we’ve been to 4 chicken shops at this point. That and it was incredibly cheap compared to other restaurants. We only paid 27 Euro to feed two people. Well worth the money we spent considering the wine and side dishes with meats.
It’s a small, adorable place run by three amazing women who manage the whole operation seamlessly. You can really feel the care and pride they put into everything.
The food was outstanding. Of course the BBQ chicken was incredible, but the sausage and ribs were just as good. What really surprised us were the sides – all so fresh and packed with flavour. We ate out a lot while in Lisbon and honestly this was one of the best meals we had, and great value for the price.
One thing to note: it’s a tiny place with only 6 seats (three tables of two). We were lucky to be staying around the corner so we took ours home to eat. You can call ahead and book if you want to sit in.
Highly recommend!
