"It’s said Adega das Gravatas serves the best Polvo à Lagareiro in Lisbon – and who am I to argue? At this famous spot on the outskirts of the city you’ll find a dining hall filled with ties (gravatas) and a local crowd diving into the house specialties, including the octopus with olive oil and potatoes."

Luis Santos

"Good texture and consistency, wasn't too liquid or too solid, it had an accentuated garlic flavor (something that does not bother me at all) and a generous amount of stuffing. In fact, the portion was generous in size, from the pot to the size and quantity of the prawns, and wasn't lacking in the generosity and accuracy of the seasoning."

Andreia Cruz

"One portion was perfect for two people, and most importantly, our stomachs were full and our palates satisfied."

Mariana Correia de Barros

"It is a dish we can't ignore: polvo à lagareiro swimming in warm olive oil, with garlic and baked potatoes."
