Very nice place, with a good atmosphere and very nice fresh fish. Excellent variety of choice in the dishes of the day, very well made and in generous portions.

This was one of our best meals during two weeks in Portugal. This place is famous for octopus, and I verified that: perhaps the finest I've ever eaten. My partner's tuna was equally good. In Portugal, amuse bouche are rare, but here, we were treated to a small starter of three local cheeses, each different, from mild to strong. Diner's tip: plan to love garlic! We began with shrimp in garlic, and went on from there. Service was excellent, and a good selection of wines.

I learned about this restaurant by reading on the internet, and staying in Lisbon for a few days we wanted to go. Reservation is recommended but we just tried. Luckily, there was a table for us. The view is amazing, sitting near a little beach of the river Tagus, and the food, drinks (good cocktails!) quite good. Really worth the trip by the ferry to Cacilhas, and than a 20 minutes walk to the restaurant. Just keep the water to your right and you will be surprised to find this spot.

I was expecting something really different as this restaurant is rated number 3 in the Almada area. I went there and selected a "Cataplana de Tamboril" for two. It was one of the house special's dishes. Actually, it was a dish made with frozen pieces of monk fish and shrimps, with lots of coconuts milk and with normal white rice and French Fries made with very old oil. Nothing so special, only different! Maybe it was just bad luck but I really like something more fresh even if I have to pay for it. For me, just an average meal, with a price tag that I consider too much for the quality. Probably if you look for quantity instead of quality it is a good option

What an amazing seafood restaurant!! We lucked out once again and scored a table for two as a walk-in just before 7pm. Two minutes later and we would have been out of luck til the second seating at ~9pm! We ordered the goat cheese with fig appetizer and had the seafood stew for 2. This was based on one of the previous reviews. Loved both choices! The seafood was so delicious, fresh and perfectly cooked. The tiger shrimps were succulent, the oysters were big and fresh, and the fish melted in your mouth. If I could drink the broth, I would! We were in Lisbon for 4 nights; out of the 4 dinners, this was our favourite!! Highly recommend this restaurant and make you have a reservation if you arrive close to 7pm!

Take the boat from Belém to Trafaria and have a meal at Casa Ideal. You will love to cross the river but on top, you can have a very tasty meal. Try the fish... we got "Polvo à Lagareiro" (grilled octopus with potatoes covered with Olive oil) and it was very very good and grilled Cuttlefish, very Soft and grilled properly. Great cold beer, tasty and homemade deserts. Honest people and mainly, honest food. Kind Service. Fair price for the quality we got. 38€ 2 pax. Recommended!!!

Well worth the drive, the ferry ride across the Tagus, the tiny walk along the very narrow cobbled streets of Trafaria. Belem is a Jewel and compared,Trafaria the Tramp, yes I am referring to the Lady and the Tramp however. Taberna Zé da Lídia is a really cool, traditional, old fashioned Portuguese eatery. I don’t follow this diet anymore but I could tell by the pure pleasure of the locals, there was nothing else to live for. Bread, Starters, Platter or mixed fish (grilled or fried) Wine by the Jug and the list goes on. Personally, I would dump the car and take a romantic ferry boat ride across the river. Service friendly, homely, attention to detail.

If you want good inexpensive food in Almada, tis is the place. While the menu is not extensive, there is still plenty of variety and we went three times during our visit to Lisbon. On a fine night you can dine in the outdoor patio. The service is excellent and very friendly

It is a very small place far from the touristic routes. The idea is to take many dishes and share with the others. I strongly suggest to book in advance.
