Based on one visit, its a like and dislike in equal measure.

GENERAL - Great concept, loved the big tables and cultural vibes. Atmospheric and fun. Food choice overwhelming (for me) it's like having a menu with 1000 dishes on it. Some will love that much choice, I found it tricky. Definitely a tourist destination.

KIDS FOOD - We didn't find many options, only one in fact. Kind kids burger from "Ground Burger" 6.50 Euro. My son opted for a regular sized burger without lots of toppings, just cheese, and fries. Great choice, tasty burger cooked medium rare, with delicious rosemary and garlic fries. Total cost with a pepsi, about 12 Euros.

FOOD - Our choice of food was disappointing. We had a roasted pork belly with a sweet potato puree, from "Miguel Castro E Silva". Pork belly had quite a few bones, was greasy and tasted burned. The puree lacked any sweet potato flavour and the pak choi, over cooked and soggy. Dish cost 15 Euros. I'm certain that we could have made better choice elsewhere. Wine was fantastic, from the wine place in middle. We could taste before buying. Excellent wine knowledge from vendor. Large glass of wine cost 6.50 Euro. Fantastic ice cream from "Santini" which cost 3.50 Euro. Table clearing service - pretty good, apart from when really busy.

SUMMARY - Research vendors on the Time Out website before going, to get the best out of your experience. There was quite a lot of uneaten food around us, on trays of plates left by others. Also, don't just go for the food, go for the experience too. If I go again, I'll research menus first, perhaps look at vendor reviews.
