The restaurant is very nicely located in a green valley not so far from Guincho. The restaurant has cabrito (goat) and cozido a portuguesa (stew) as there specialities. The goat was very good we tried 2 different ways and they were both delicious.
Also all other dishes seem to be very well prepared. One of my friends had the beef with creamy mushroom sauce and he was very pleased as well.
Nice place high feel good factor. Go there for a long meal with friends or family. The prices are a little higher but good price quality ratio.
We will visit again: Aparantly the following restaurants belong to the same owner: Mar do guindho, Mestre Zé and O Faroleiro. We have to check this out.

La rúcula (expo, lisboa)
name: la rúcula
type place: italian restaurant.
location: Rossio dos olivais, Parque das Nações (entre vasco da gama shopping e o teijo ao lado do porto de recreio
tel: 218 922 747
price idea: +/- 25 €
Well if you read the previous posts you know i am not a heavy fan of italian food but i was pleasantly surpised. The restaurant is nicely located with great views over the marina and the river and has a large menu with antipasti, pizzas, pastas, steaks enough to choose from. We had a bruchetta, rucola salad and a carpacio, all were good. The pizzas and pastas that followed were good too. My friends loved the pana cotta... and i tried it yes it was devine but i resisted to keep those extra calories away. If it has to be italian than i prefer to eat it here.
they have a nice internet site where you can have a preview of the place...

Samurai (Lisboa, Bélem)
name: samurai
type place: japanese restaurant.
An all you can eat type place and again better than the ones we already visited and described: R. da Junqueira 460, 1300 Lisboa, Portugal - 213 631 936
open every day price idea: less than 20 € Difference between this chain (exist 5 restaurants spread over lisbon) and the other japanese all you can eat places is that the food is not on a buffet or passes by on a conveyer belt but it is served at the table. You get a menu (with pictures) of all the dishes you have an believe me you will find something you like or you are just plain difficult. From sushi and sashimi to springrolls, dim sum, salad, grilled meat and chicken to various teppan yakis (food cooked on hot plate) and tempura (fried vegetables, shrimp. The sushi an sashimi are fresly made and the hot dishes are served hot. A little cheaper for lunch than for dinner but always a good deal. We like it a lot and been there several times. We prefer this restaurant over the food on a belt place (hong sha long) but also better than the buffet place (hokkaido) that we visited and talked about before. mmm: ***
