Citorah says

Kiko Martins opened the room in 2014 after training in Lima — that's where the technique came from, and the menu's barely shifted since because it hasn't needed to. The giant octopus hanging from the ceiling is the giveaway you've found it.

From Where to eat in Lisbon 2026 — 10 restaurants worth the metro ride, under “A Cevicheria — Príncipe Real”.

Wrong for

Solo diners (the room is loud and built for two-tops sharing four plates), parties above four (they physically can't seat you together), anyone wanting under €40 a head, anyone in a hurry.

Good to know

Getting there
five minutes uphill from Rato (yellow line) or a flat walk from Avenida
