Who eats here?

🏠 7% locals 93% tourists 🧳

10 of its 145 recent reviewers are from Portugal - 135 are not.

Only 10 locals have reviewed here recently - too few for a confident local score, and the ones who did weren't impressed. So few local reviews is itself a hint locals don't often come here.

🍽️ Moderately busy - about 11 new Google reviews a month - busier than 62% of Lisboa places
