Think twice if
What to order
The plates that decide it
- Garlic clams (amêijoas à Bulhão Pato) & tiger prawns — the house signatures; mop the garlic butter with bread
- The prego no pão to finish — the ritual closer — a small steak sandwich after the shellfish
- Percebes (goose barnacles) — worth trying if priced reasonably that day, but check the price first
Plan it well
- Cost
- ~€40–60 per head depending on shellfish
- Allow
- 1.5–2 hours incl. wait
