Food was very very tasty but quite oily, staff was incredibly nice and very attentive but unfortunately not speaking English, no music in the restaurant and quite calm and quiet atmosphere.

Excellent restaurant from a quality perspective and highly recommended. Nice and typical location.
However, I would recommend giving guests enough time to enjoy each dish observing the right pauses across courses; it is not a marathon!

A delightful and charming Portuguese restaurant offering an array of traditional Brazilian and Portuguese dishes. The bolinho de bacalhau and garlic prawns were the perfect starters. The Bacalhau Gomes de Sá and Moqueca de Peixe we shared were tasty and cooked to perfection. It’s so refreshing to experience a dining team that seamlessly combines silver service with an intimate and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended – you must go there!

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and lot of seafood options. Didn’t have trouble connecting in English as well. It is rare to find service like this these days.

It was all good but the basque cheesecake with hot guava sauce is a step forward for humanity. Unbelievably delicious.

The waiters werr very polite and nicebut unfortunately the food didn’t live up to the expectations and the high reviews that this place has gathered.
I asked for recommendations and ordered a fish dish called Gomes – it was very salty and we could not eat after a few bites. The fish in this dish was cod which had a rubbery texture – a classic mistake when cod is overcooked and loses its natural moisture – something we didn’t expect from such a fine dining place with high price tag for every item.
We also ordered octopus which we felt was overcooked and chewy. The fish macheca (bass curry) was tangy & perhaps the best of the lot that we ordered but didn’t meet our expectations. Quite disappointed at the quality and taste of the food for the price we paid. All of this came out to R$ 434 after they included tip on it.

We are old clients, and they still maintain the highest standards expected from a Portuguese Cuisine.
We ordered fried Cod balls for starters and the main dish, Gomes de Sa Cod Fish.
