Wow! Blown away. I read the good reviews and decided to pop by for lunch. My mushroom tortellini was incredible, as was our guacamole starter. The tom yum chicken had authentic lemon grass flavors and the fish and chips was better than what I had...recently enjoyed in London. Also, our server, Duarte, was warm and friendly. I will definitely return!More

Amazing Australian restaurant in Lisbon. We went here after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor and were not dissapointed and would definitely come back! The starters were quite unusual to us, but overall tasted good. The mains were really great and nicely presented. The same for...the desserts. Overall we were also happy with the service. However, we believe this could be taken to ‘the next level’ to make it even better and to improve the experience of the customers (for example the English of one of the waiters was not too good and they could explain the dishes more before putting it on the table).More

Had dinner here on our last night in Lisbon after trying to get a table at two other restaurants. So glad we did as it was very good. I had a very good 36 hour pork belly and my other half bravely tried kangaroo -...both very good.More

We saw this restaurant highly recommended on Trip Advisor and I made a reservation for our trip to Lisbon. Not your typical Portuguese fare. Such a lovely surprise. The food was outstanding. I had the duck and my husband had a fish dish and both...were delicious! Then...dessert! Wow! The salted chocolate caramel tart was so over-the-top delicious we ordered a second one to go! The service was awesome and the vibe very cool. Chef Justin was there and visited each table at the end of the meal. We highly recommend this place while in Lisbon. We’ll be back!More

An absolutely great experience. Really delicious and interesting food, reasonably priced, lots of choices, very nice wine, very friendly and efficient service in a lovely environment, close to public transport. It was so nice not to have to wait ages for our courses to be...served, unlike so many other local restaurants. Justin came and spoke to us which was fantastic given how busy the restaurant is. We are planning to return soon. Thank you Justin and SophiaMore

Small restaurant with very flavourful food. I had pork belly, duck breast and passionfruit pavlova. Honest prices. I would have prefered a bit more information about the dishes from the staff but they are friendly.

We read all of the great reviews this restaurant has and paid it a visit on our last night in Lisbon. It was excellent. It was a Monday night and the restaurant was fairly quiet - the waitresses were very attentive and were keen to...hear our opinions on the food. The food was absolutely lovely, some of the best I’ve had and the Australian wine was so tasty! If we visit Lisbon again, we will definitely come back here.More

This won’t be a problem at all (and the chef himself is relaxed, ‘cause from down under). You will enjoy your visit!
