Good service and reasonable price. A few dishes weren’t that good though: the sardine was a bit too salty and the rice was dry. But overall pretty good legitimate Portuguese experience.

Price/benefit is one of the top points at lunch time. Always some special dish for one’s taste, with cod fish or chicken. The cataplana is awesome but I guess is better at evening. Good choice of wines although the Vinho Verde is restricted to Gatão, a good one but could have a wider offer as the Verde is becoming a trend.
The service was good, but foods are just not so impressive. We ordered a full course for 2 people but with small amount for each dish. And to be honest, the seafood taste more like frozen food instead of fresh ones. Not quite sure if it is real Portugal foods but the taste was a bit disappointing.
Its my first time to take Portuguese cuisine. A hidden gem in Ginza area, lucky my Japanese friend introduce this restaurant. The first dish is grillef/fried sardine. Very well seasoned with spices/herbs. So good for wine pairing. The sesfood pot also very delicious. And some other dishes also very good. The green wine is a must try, take the drink-all-you-can 90min, easily 2 bottles per person. Staff is very professional and friendly. Price also reasonable.
Really great lunch on Valentine's Day.
We had the beef skewer, garlic prawns, the baccalau fritters and the baccalau with potato gratin and cheese bake. All were exceptional. We don't drink so no comments on the wines. The beef could have been more tender, but this could be to do with my preference and this expectation of softer meat on a skewer. The taste was excellent though. The baccalau was also slightly less salty than we expected. But all that said, the food was delicious.
The Portuguese chicken lunch set was good, came with small bread a a small salad. Being located at B1 there are no windows or natural light, spots quite dark but comfortable.
Definitively it is not a real portuguese cuisine. I have to admit that it was a disappointment for me. 1st. Cod fish deep fry (bolinho de bacalhau) there is no cod fish, it is only potato. I ask for the traditional Bacalhau com Natas, that in Portugal, you have a fairly portion of cod fish with potatoes and cheese.... And again, only potatoes. Portuguese wine selection is really poor, if you ask for a glass, usually you expect 1/4 of a bottle, and in this place they serve you like 1/8. Maybe it may be popular among Japaneses, but trust me, it is not a real portuguese cuisine and if have a change to try a real portuguese restaurant you will notice the difference.
