Signal score

Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.

A polished yet casual Portuguese successor to Lisboeta, offering stellar seafood in a narrow Fitzrovia townhouse where the upstairs room is a serene escape from the bustling ground floor.

Ordering Strategy

Request a table in the upstairs dining room to avoid the cramped, corridor-like ground floor and its visible dishwasher; stick to the fresh seafood over the expensive rice dishes.

What to order

Safe first

Amêijoas à Bulhão Pato

Consistently praised as 'shellfish’s answer to Jewish penicillin,' these clams arrive in a deeply comforting liquor of garlic, coriander, and white wine.

Hungry

Salt-Baked Wild Sea Bass

Treated with 'deep reverence' by the fishmonger-chef, this dish is described as a 'thing of fleeting beauty' and potentially the best bass in London.

Wildcard

Chocolate Mousse

A 'heaving portion' dressed with olive oil and flaky sea salt that reviewers claim is 'mandatory' to finish the meal.

Wildcard

Peixinhos da Horta

Highly moreish tempura runner beans served with paprika mayo that serve as the perfect opener to the meal.

What to skip

Skip

Lobster Rice— Cited by independent reviewers as underwhelming and lacking seafood flavor or aroma despite the steep £90 price tag.

Good to know

The restaurant is a rebrand of Lisboeta with a new chef but similar interiors; wine prices can be high.
