A Taberna do Bispo

This would be a 2 star review except for some excellent pimientos de pardon (little green peppers that are mostly not hot). We sat at the tapas bar. The place was insanely busy and it was hard to get a seat though from most of the food we had I am not sure why. It is on a main street and people flock to a place that is busy. But its high rating on TripAdvisor is a mystery to me. The bread on the tapas was stale. We saw a shrimp salad behind the tapas bar that looked good but when he dipped his spoon into the salad he did so in the back where it was almost all horrible pressed fish-​matter sticks. We got exactly one shrimp. It could be that the people who were ordering off the menu instead of from the tapas bar were getting something better. it wasn’t exactly cheap either.

No se cena mal pero las raciones son muy pequeñas, para el precio. Se pierden al servirte y al final nos fuimos dejando el dinero en la mesa por aburrimiento

Sat at the bar here and just ordered randomly. Was not disappointed. Had the scallops and shrimp (crazy good), the octopus (really good), then the fried shrimp and another shrimp pincho was were okay.
Some of the food was already prepared to eat, and some others (like octopus, squid, calamari) you would order then have to wait a bit while they prepared it. A good thing.
Decent prices and good food. Can’t go wrong.

Buen lugar para pinchos. El crocanti de brie, así como la vieira con gambas y salsa de cacahuete muy buenos.

eat, pray, eat again. something the fam did a bit of this vacay, as in our table loaded with tapas here. the bar had a massive array to choose from as well as hot dishes on menu. particularly yum were grilled prawns, stuffed octopus, chorizo and bacaloa croquettes. lots of university students and daytrippers like us (cheaply) gorging.
