We had amazing last dinner in this restaurant. It’s better to book a table in advance but we were lucky to have a seat without reservation. The dishes were fantastic, we had cabbage, burrata, fish and pork. And chocolate mousse for dessert. Highly recommend this place for dinner.

I absolutely loved this place, minus the big dog sitting right next me. Their food is excellent and inspired. I love that they use local seasonal ingredients.

But, for such a small space, and being an indoor restaurant, they shouldn’t let anyone bring their dog inside the restaurant.

What an incredible positive surprise! By far our best dining experience in Lisbon. Chef, proprietor #Yann_Rotundo and his partner #Stephanie_Graisier have found an unconventional approach to culinary enjoyment. From start to finish this was fabulous. All dishes can be and should be shared. Each dish has its own distinct character and taste. Smell, taste, colors and consistency are in perfect harmony. Have we experienced the Mozart of culinary arts in Lisbon? The ingredients are original, tasty and Chef Yann and his team seem to be able to maintain the taste of the ingredients distinguishable and coordinated in a lovely culinary melodious way. Yann is also a grad of the famous EHL in Lausanne, Switzerland which is evident in the overall experience, no doubt Stephanie’s Swiss hospitality is also an important addition.
There are only twenty seats, so make sure you reserve ahead!
Thanks Chef Yann, Stephanie and fabulous team.

Fabulous little spot in our favourite neighbourhood for restaurants and bars. Our group ordered the entire menu, except the beet dish (which although we don’t like beets we should have ordered it anyways..still waiting for someone’s beet dish to change our minds!). The service was tops, very friendly and attentive. Our favourite dishes were the veg/vegan, however the two meat dishes and the fish were great too. We had creative cocktails to start and wine with dinner. Everything was fabulous. We highly recommend this cute little spot to locals and travellers. We will definitely be back!

This little restaurant is INCREDIBLE!!! Creative and delicious, seasonal and local sharing food, cosy/homey vibe with open kitchen, and lovely service. We were 4 and managed to almost try the whole menu and we fell more in love with EVERY DISH! Honestly every dish was fantastic, you cannot choose wrong. If I’d really have to choose I believe my favourites were the beetroot tartare, fungi and duck toast (specialty of the day). I tasted unique flavours and combinations that I never had before. Surprisingly many vegetarian options but probably one of the best I ever had. Nectar cocktail was also amazing. Interior is very cosy. Staff is very competent, kind and caring, explaining each dish and where the ingredients are from e.g., burrata just from across the bridge. Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Lisbon so far! Recommend!
