We have eaten because of the reviews that indicated very good food, although a little expensive. But I have to say that we didn't like the risotto, both the vegetable and the shrimp ones. What's more, we haven't finished them. The tasteless vegetable one, boiled without salt. The rest of the normal dishes. The grilled cod was delicious and so was the entrecôte. The problem has been that despite acknowledging that they have spoken with the chef to confirm the problem with the rice, they have not offered a solution. We had already asked for the bill and they have not offered to compensate in any way. Furthermore, we spent a week in Portugal and until now they had never charged us the 5% tip directly to the account. Cost 150 euros for 4 pax without dessert and without wine.

We arrived with 7 people, we started to look at the menu to see what the restaurant was offering, something we perhaps shouldn't have done because we heard a gentleman in a suit say to his colleagues "So you're going to stay" then “be careful, it’s WITHS” we found that unacceptable.
And I'm not even talking about the extremely long service, a couple who arrived 30 minutes after us were served in less than 5 minutes even though we had to wait exactly 55 minutes to be served
On the other hand, the food was excellent.
Disappointment unfortunately to avoid for foreigners…

Disappointment… to avoid for foreigners!!
Barely arrived at the map, already categorized! The waiters spoke to each other in Portuguese, noticing that we were speaking French; exact term used “AVECS” (Portuguese immigrants in France). By whispering in our ears in an odious way, don't worry, these are withs... without suspecting that we understand them.
Service more than long…. Beer served without bubbles.
After understanding that we were speaking Portuguese, the waiter apologized very briefly!
On the other hand, nothing to say about the kitchen! We ate very well.

I don't give it a star because the food they serve was delicious, but they deserve it for the scam they have set up to get money. The dishes are not cheap at all, but they are of quality and deserve the price they have. Now, we were 9 people, they brought us 5 plates of dry bread with olives that we did not order. We ate 3, the menu said that the appetizer was 3.5e. We expected to pay for what we consumed, but to our surprise they charged us for 9 appetizers! More than 30e for a damn dry bread with oil and five olives. When we complained, the waitress did not give us any explanations, only that they charged an appetizer per person and she was making a pout waiting to charge us. In short, a shame. To add, the most expensive bottle of water I drank in my life and a 5% tip that they shove in your face. A shame of quarters

BEWARE TOURISTS! We ordered 1 cod bras and a risotto with Camarão, 2 bottles of water and it was 70 EURAZOS. BEWARE They give you, without asking, some small plates with 8-10 olives and 3-4 pieces of bread and charge 3.5 euros per person (there were 9 of us and only 3 ate this, but they charged +€30, a scam). The letter does NOT specify that it is a price per person. The 2 bottles of water have also exceeded 10 euros, is this a joke??? In addition, they auto-include a 5% tip in the bill, which they don't ask for either. To say that the quality of the food was correct.

They have been very unpleasant. Although the food was acceptable and the atmosphere is very cozy, the service made the experience disastrous. I don't recommend going at all. There is a waiter who is also sexist and racist.

Very good restaurant The staff are welcoming and friendly The pasta was amazing 1st time to taste such a liquid and good tomato sauce The view from the restaurant terrace is very beautiful
Absolutely the least hospitable and sleaziest experience you will ever endure.
Upon arrival, I was denied access to the restroom, a basic human necessity, unless I consumed something first. Then, one of the managers approached us and, without even asking for our drink preferences, forced a bowl of olives and bread upon us, which we fortunately rejected right away. We later discovered it would have been charged to our bill if we hadn't. This deceitful act was performed with a disingenuous smile that only appeared when money was involved. The prices were exorbitant, especially for items like coffee from a subpar Keurig machine. I expected a five-star experience but instead encountered unfriendly, condescending staff who clearly believe the customer is NEVER right.

Overpriced. The food and drinks were good, but they charge 6 euros for water and a 7 euro cover charge… then they billed us for someone else’s drink and then refunded us 4 of the euros in 10 and 20 cent coins. Better off at the food carts down the road

The outdoor terrace of the cafeteria Mensagem in Hotel Altis Belém is an exceptional place for a long lunch or sunset drink as the buzz passing and the marina and river views are fabulous.
We had a series of starters, eg the ham was deliciously thin cut and the peixinhos da Horta with humus combined well with a the Óbidos wine at a fair price.
