• Subtle and creative.

We visited for dinner just after opening time. Six entrées were listed on the evening's menu. Customers wishing to sample have the option of ordering a mixed plate. The medium plate allows for two entrées while the "normal" plate holds three. So we ordered all of the evening's offerings. The plates arrived with generous helpings including a small salad and something that we both agreed was a cole slaw inspired side dish. Everything was subtly flavored. This is not a polite way of criticizing; it was a tasty meal. We were pleasantly surprised by the beet lasagna. Most vegetarian places will do something with spinach. This one avoided cloying sweetness. The fafalle/tofu dish was also good. I hasten to add that both pasta dishes were al dente! This was a sure sign that the kitchen staff cares. Nothing was over salted or excessively oily. The final bill was just a bit below the prevailing prices so it was good value. All in all a satisfying meal that's easy on the stomach and respectful of a limited budget. I wouldn't make it a nightly meal but I certainly would have visited a second time if this hadn't been our last night in Lisbon.
