## Common questions
**Is the stone-cooked steak worth the hype?**

Yes—reviewers consistently call it transformative, praising its tenderness and the interactive cooking ritual. The fillet sizzles on hot stone; you slice and cook each piece to your liking. At €27 per person, it's considered exceptional value for the quality and experience.

**Can the sommelier help me choose wine?**

Absolutely. The owner is a trained sommelier who personally guides pairings based on your tastes and dishes. Many reviewers highlight his expertise and the family vineyard wines as standout elements of the meal.

**Is it good for a special occasion?**

Highly recommended. The intimate, cosy atmosphere, attentive service, and quality of food make it ideal for anniversaries, celebrations, or memorable dinners. Many guests return after years, citing the consistency and warmth.

**How big is the restaurant?**

Small and characterful—described as 'intimate' and 'tucked away' in a narrow Chiado street. This adds to the charm and personal service, though it fills quickly during peak hours.

**What's the best dish to order?**

The stone-cooked fillet steak is iconic, but the polvo à lagareiro (roasted octopus with olive oil and smashed potatoes) is equally celebrated. Many reviewers order both and praise the lamb and sea bass as well.
