Great location and good food. For me the best in the oeiras marina area. The toast (very big toasted sandwiches, salads, burgers and pitas are very good. The service is friendly and they just reopend after doubling their inside space... think this is going to inprove speed on the service (used to be slow when the outside area was full) It is good and the prices acceptable for such a nice location.

Great location but go there for a coffee, a special coffee or a drink... the mix drinks or a beer. The food menu is limited they have a few specials daily but nothing special. It was ok but there is better close by if you want to go for that meal. Again this place is not bad but it did not impress.

Great location bad food small drinks. Go here when all places are full and you are desperate. The service is ok the quality of the food is very poor... ordered a filet steak with green pepper sauce received one with mustard sauce... send it back received same steak same sauce with peppercorns on top... for 15 euros this is stealing certainly when there is other places so close where you can have a better meal. And the fries were cold... the salad was a big plate with green letuce and 2 slices of tomato no seasoning. Ok it was busy but anyway this is very bad... my friends had calamares (small portion of mediocre quality) and the duck rice (arroz de pato) dry but ok-ish
mmm: no star... worst in distrito de lisboa so far !!!
