"One of Lisbon’s hottest tables since opening in late 2023, this fun, old-school canteen-styled spot channels chef João Rodrigues’s “cook what you are” ethos into ingredient-led dishes that span Portuguese and global influences. I loved the Ibérico pork presa with slightly crunchy edges and simple fries, while tuna sashimi with trout roe and asparagus with island cheese and a buttery, lemony sauce showed the kitchen’s precision; nearly everything is sourced locally. The result is simple food cooked exceptionally well, with a sense that the chefs are having as much fun as the diners." - Abigail Malbon
