A Carvoaria

The lamb chops were awesome. My husband and daughter shared a ½ portion of a cheese burger & still couldn’t finish it. The portions are huge! Even the mixed salad came on a large platter. Try the samosas, they are tiny but delicious. Waiter was very helpful and friendly. And to top it, the prices are very reasonable.

Discovered this little gem via trip advisor. Small and family run, the moment we were seated the waiter asked us what we would like and have recommendations/​suggestions based on what was fresh that day. He showed me the ice case where there was fresh fish on ice and a vat of clams happily chilling and blowing the occasional bubble.
We started with a fresh plate of clams prepared with lemon, garlic and cilantro. It was consumed in seconds.
Next we had a freshly filleted and grilled flounder prepared with sea salt and lemon served with grilled new potatoes, tomatoes, and green beans.
We wanted to order grilled calamari but the waiter warned us that it might be too much food. Turns out he was right as the clams and flounder was more than enough.
The staff was so polite and helpful and with out us asking, offered to take a photo for us if we wanted it (using our cell phones of course).
The food was so fresh and flavorful with minimal seasoning, the staff was a pleasure, and best of all the price was very reasonable.
If we had another free meal slot on our tour in Lisbon, we’d probably have opted to come back again for the grilled calamari. Check this place out for a delicious, home-​style prepared food with a family friendly atmosphere… The free WiFi is a bonus too! :)
Hole in the wall joints are often under rated and under appreciated. Don’t expect frills, bells and whistles, just good food.
