We loved this very unusual little restaurant for it's good food and romantic atmoshphere. The fish was simple and cooked to perfection and was enjoyed with good wine. You must try the pear charlotte, it was divine!! I would definately recommend this place but you must book in advance.

A friend and I recently tried Arribale on a girl's trip to Portugal. This was some of the best service I've had in the past couple of years living in Europe. The staff was so friendly and gave great recommendations. The food was excellent as well as the prices. We really appreciated the central, yet quiet location. This place should... More

I really can't recommend this place enough. It was recommended to us by two sets of friends independently. The food was beautiful- fresh, extremely flavoursome and very well priced. We were a group of 7 adults and 1 baby and so we sat outside which was perfect (it is quite a small place so inside can only accommodate parties of... More

Not your typical Lagos restaurant with outdoor tables. Built into a kind of covered alleyway, narrow and partially open it is very quaint with nautical themed pieces and memorabilia everywhere. The open barbecue style oven is used to grill most of the main dishes just inside the door, but the best part is at the back where there are several... More

The service cant be faulted, they really do try to please. The fried shrimp starter was fantastic, but as a fish lover I found the one fish of the day dish a bit limiting and no matter how good the chef, stone bass at its best is not that good, The accompaniments were very good and did their best to...

What a wonderful restaurant!!! I went here with a group of 16 ladies for a Hen's and had an absolutely fabulous evening! Ken and his staff were so friendly and did their very best to ensure we were all having a good time throughout the night. The food was great - I especially loved the fish cakes and the grilled...

Just great simple food. Fantastic atmosphere. Been here a few times over the last 12 months and it never disappoints. The Tapas is fantastic, the pâté especially so. Ribs are another favourite along with fish from the grill. Friendly service. You really can't go wrong. And by the way have a Brownie for dessert or the key lime pie. Both... More

We had been trying to find this place for a while and eventually did. To be honest we had a nice meal but not the special one the reviews had led us to believe. The food was nicely cooked and flavoured but fairly limited in what was on offer as we would have preferred maybe more than one fish option.... More

We did not book just were lucky to get in I guess. We had a table in the outer alcove which was perfect. The waiter (english ) was friendly and professional pointing out a good white wine and explained that most mains were cooked on the grill, I had the fish of the day on the grill just amazing and...
