Nice typical place nestled across the busy road from the river. Arriving by car, you can spend a happy twenty minutes looking for a parking space. I recently realised they have their own parking area to the side, but it is staffed by one of...Lisbon's omnipresent Parking Beggars (small coin for a cup of coffee otherwise who knows what your car's going to look like when you return from feasting). Tell him you'll give him something on the way out and then hope he's passed out in a bush by the time you return. Alternatively, full of bravado from a jug of house red, you can lecture him on the perils of drugs and being a leech to society. Why don't you get a job, you scruffy little oik Otherwise cough up cents and he'll do a small dance for you amongst the nettles. Inside it's a roomy place but the division between smokers and non-smokers is a transparent curtain made only of oxygen bubbles and tiny fragments of angel's pyjamas, so if you sit on the edge of the non smokers zone, you're basically smoking. The food allows you to forget Class A drug problems and nicotine clouds. Good solid traditional fish dishes, speciality being baked grouper fish with roast potatoes and salad. Absolutely bloody outstanding. They usually run out of this around two pm so get in early. Big serving plate comes with small thin slices of carrot and beetroot around the edge. The one moment of pretention in a sea of comforting normality. Alternatively, fresh grilled sea bream, eels, squid, scabbard fish and a wealth of crusty jewels from the sea can be taken. Meat is probably good too but I couldn't tell you. House red is cheeky, perky and allows one to dream of better days than today. Waiters are, as usual, almost all male and pushing but the one with the overgrown moustache will look after you well. I think his name was Rupert, but his colleagues behind the grill were calling him Nanny McPhee for some reason. Recommended.
