Reviews
Super high-quality food and easily one of the best dining experiences in Portugal. It’s rare to find a place where literally everything is this good. The sashimi melts in your mouth, the nigiri cuts are incredibly generous and fresh, and dishes like the tempura razor clams are executed perfectly. You can really taste…
