This restaurant was recommended by a local. There is always a queue here but we were lucky to get here just before the queue picked up again
They don't have an English menu but they can recommend you dishes or you can use tour translate app. They do most dishes in half or full sizes which serves 2-3 for the half and up to 6 for the full size. We saw lots of locals with their families dining here and the portions are huge.
We opted for half size octopus which was for 2 people but could easily feed 4, and the frilled salmon. The octopus was really fresh and tender and was so easy to eat (not like the chewy octopus were used to). The grilled salmon was so fresh and tasty and even the potatoes were really good. A meal for 3 came to under 52euros. A bargain. We even had to take some home because we couldn't finish. I highly recommend this restaurant. Even though it was super busy the staff were so friendly.

Huge portions of traditional Portuguese food. The service was a little slow but it was incredibly busy right at noon. The staff were very friendly and helpful which made up for the wait.

"Don't judge a book by its cover" really applies to this restaurant. Even though it may not look much from the outside, the food has excellent quality, quantity, and last but not least, price. You may have to wait to get a table as the place is always packed, but the staff is very efficient and everything runs smoothly.
My only complaint is the high noise levels if you go on peak hours, so if you're looking for a quiet meal experience this isn't for you, but they offer takeaway service so you can always take it and eat elsewhere.
