Portuguese Restaurants in Lisbon, PT

“We were two people, we ordered Portuguese style bitoque and bait.
I haven't eaten such tasty bait in a long time.
The bitoque, the meat very tender, and the sauce well seasoned.
I recommend it, and I will return because of the friendliness, the good homemade food and the good atmosphere.“

“We ate the most delicious meals here. The pulled pork prego was so tender and tasty. Prawn and mango salad great for a hot day. A good spot for young kids too! Beautiful atmosphere inside the restaurant with great service. I highly recommend eating here!“

“Yes this was really good! Food delicious and special. The cucumber dessert, to name just a few. Glasses of wine from 6 euros.
Carafes of water free. The four of us lost 160 euros. You have to go here. And I don't say that often.“

“Taken by friends, as I was unfamiliar with the place, it proved to be a gastronomic surprise, despite the noise not allowing for large conversations. Without ever reaching the stratospheric limit of "divine", the small restaurant served dishes of good, honest and unpretentious Portuguese food. The only negative note for the creamed milk, floured and with few eggs, which could have been something from a packet. A shame, because the burnt sugar topping was delicious.“

“10/10 experience. If you’re questioning whether or not to go, don’t, just go. The 10 course tasting (really 14 with desserts) was SO tasty and affordable. Our server was a standout as well. They connected with each table, clearly cared if you were enjoying your experience, was attentive but not overbearing, and had an overall great presence and energy. I would definitely go again!“

“Just finished a delicious meal at this Gem of a restaurant.

I would 100% recommend anyone to try it and enjoy what is easily one of our top meals since coming to Lisbon. To top of off the guys that run it are awesome, super friendly and warm.

Really fab. x“

“Geweldig eten bangelijke service met een leuke knipoog.
Een heel mooie wijnkaart eerlijk geprijsd. Voor een 2?? zaak betaal je eerlijke prijzen.
Ps de sommelier heeft mij goed geholpen. Na het eten het bezoek aan de chef en de keuken was ook top.
Bedankt voor de geweldige ervaring.“

“Anyone who loves good food is indifferent to good service... It's been a long time since we've had an experience of this kind: flavor, quality, empathy, friendliness, rigor! We entered and felt that we were very well received... but everything else, these days, is just a unique experience! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making small moments of pleasure into giant memories!! If we come back? Oh yes, we will definitely be back!! And with friends, for whom we want the best!! Quality food and luxury service ❤️Mr. João, Nuno, the whole Family: they are the greatest!! Now let's "burn calories" through the streets of Lisbon!!Thank you very much!Marisa and Mario“

“Typical Lisbon bar. The place is small, if you like privacy it is not your place, we were comfortable, but they put some Spanish girls in the middle of a table of 6. But it is one of the best I have been to, quality-price, what we ordered, everything was very good , especially the ribs. I had heard that it is normal in Portugal for them to give you tapas even if you have asked for them. Here we had it on the table, but I returned one (without touching it of course) and without a problem, they didn't charge it. Very good white wine sangria“

“Absolutely lovely authentic Portuguese food. We had the oxtail, the turbot, and the mushroom rice. Also the starters were amazing including the dried Tuna salad and the squid. Super attentive service by Alex, they were fully booked but then accommodated us. Highly recommended and cannot wait to go again“

“A restaurant on the new avenues of Lisbon, with a neighborhood atmosphere, without tourists, where Portuguese is spoken.
Great service, typical Portuguese food very well prepared. Partridge game dishes were a delicacy.
I recommend.“

“A prime location but difficult to park.

We ordered house steaks and it was delicious, nothing to write home about.

The place is beautiful and elegant.

The employees are professionals, perhaps the only thing I want to point out is that I wanted to be talking to the person in front of me and the employee kept “talking” a little beyond what was comfortable, I had to ask him to “go away” which added to the feeling of the night.
Shortly afterwards, at the next table, there was a family and the same waiter creating the same discomfort towards them, so they were also asked to let them eat/be “in peace”.

I would also like to add that the employee smelled a lot of tobacco, which made it difficult for us to have him by our side.

Despite this occurrence, the dinner experience was wonderful. A place to visit.“

“Nous sommes venus ici pour dîner sur ma dernière nuit à Lisbonne. Pendant que nous mangions sorte de tard c'était assez donc mes amis et moi avons pu vraiment profiter de notre conversation. Le service était excellent et ils ont eu la gentillesse d'expliquer certains des plats sur le menu qui est faite de la cuisine essentiellement locale. C'est un prix raisonnable et la nourriture goûts incroyable. Vraiment j'espère avoir l'occasion d'y retourner.“

“A superb address!
Unfortunately when we came the restaurant was relocated due to work. We were therefore unable to discover their environment.
But we were lucky to be able to try their cuisine. The waitress gave us very good advice on the choice and quantities of tapas. Everything was excellent. Special mention for the tuna…incredible!
Address not to be missed in Lisbon.“

“The Portuguese steak, Vitoque, is really delicious. It has a subtle garlic flavor, so it seems to suit Korean tastes well. The owner is friendly and the price is not that expensive. I liked the local atmosphere. It's located not far from the Jerónimos Monastery, so it's perfect to have lunch here and then go to Pasteis de Belem for a second cup of espresso and an egg tart.“

“Excellent homemade food. Upon entering we were very well received, preferring to stay inside the restaurant. Always eat. Present friendliness, I found it really funny that you asked me if I wanted a bib!!! I LOVED!!!
They recommended cod à Lagareiro and grilled emperor fish!
The fish was delicious and the vegetables too. Hats off to the cod as it tasted just like my grandmother's!!!! Real, desalted cod! The potatoes were well seasoned and the green beans were delicious, just like the ones I used to eat without chemicals!!!! Congratulations to the team that made me relive the past! The interior space is a little “scary” although it has good decoration!
Thanks for the experience!“

“This experience felt like a warm farewell hug to end my time in Lisbon. I stopped by at dinner time hours before my flight back home. I wanted to end my trip with a wine tasting and found this place on Google. I decided to try it based on the reviews. The overall experience exceeded my expectations. The owner was kind, welcoming, and attentive. I chose 3 plates I was interested in and he decided the order in which to serve them and what wine to pair them with. The flavors of everything were unreal. I might still be riding a little bit of a high from this experience. Absolutely stop by here during your trip.“

“This is a really fun and exciting place to try! The seafood taco was such an awesome flavour bomb. Really great flavours overall. It has a loud and busy energy which made service a little slow at times. We are usually very easygoing guests which sometimes leads to slower service as those who demand more receive it. But overall the staff seemed really excited and worked as a great team! If we were staying longer would definitely come back to try more. Might recommend eating outside if you'd like it a bit quieter.“

“11/10, great local Portuguese food, what a pleasant discovery. The waiter was so nice to us, he accepted to exceptionally let us eat at 9:30 in his restaurant, I thank him once more for this great dinner.

11/10, good local Portuguese food, what a pleasant discovery. The waiter was so kind to us that he exceptionally agreed to let us eat at 9:30 in his restaurant, thank you once again for this excellent dinner.“

“Away from the busiest parts of the city, the food and atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for! I would highly recommend if you are in the area. Very good prices and delicious, unique food, if you are visiting as a tourist. Recommended by our tour guide who lives in the city, and very happy we decided to visit!“

“During our stay in Portugal, we had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional restaurant and were deeply impressed by the quality and originality of the food, as well as the exquisite hospitality of the staff.

The cuisine proved to be an authentic triumph of creativity and flavours. Each dish, from the most traditional to the most innovative, has been prepared with a skill that denotes a great passion for gastronomy. Even the desserts, absolutely out of the ordinary, represented a delicious and unforgettable surprise, perfectly crowning the entire meal.

The staff, from the sommelier to the waiters, stood out for their friendliness, professionalism and attention to detail. Their ability to interpret and satisfy our tastes was admirable. Despite the language barriers, they demonstrated endless patience and communication skill that made us feel welcomed and understood. Their friendliness and cheerfulness further enriched our experience, making the evening even more pleasant.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the entire team for making our evening so special. This experience will remain indelibly imprinted in our memories as one of the best moments of our trip to Portugal.

Thank you with all my heart!“

“Lively place with good service and good options for a snack or a meal. The croquette starter, which seems to have a certain reputation here, reminded me of those snacks from children's parties ?. The fish served are fresh and very well prepared. The fries could have been hotter and crispier. The house white wine was served chilled and did not disappoint.

The bill was a little steep, but the experience was pleasant. It's a shame they don't have homemade dessert options, like rice pudding (that was out of stock on the day). The draft beer served here is Sagres, which in my opinion loses to Super Bock.“

“Je tenais à remercier Rosana pour son super service.La nourriture était très bonne, cependant il manquait un peu de variété au niveau du buffet salé chaud et les pains au chocolat et croissants sont à améliorer.J’ai aussi mentionné que nous venions fêter les 30ans de mon mari lors de la réservation, je m’attendais à une petite attention de la part des équipes.Très grandes variétés de pâtisseries portugaises, de fromages, de charcuterie. Les crevettes et le saumon étaient très bons, et il y avait une grande sélection de desserts.Le thé était exquis.“

“It's an experience. It took about 3 hrs for the four course chefs menu with 3 small appetizers and one pre dessert on top of the 4 courses. The view of the river while dining is excellent. It has the feeling of. Private club and the presentation is world class.“

“We never felt as comfortable in a restaurant on vacation as we did here.
The food was great, the wine was delicious. But the hospitality was something very special. Although we spoke little Portuguese (and the boss only little English), we were able to communicate well and laugh together. It was a great time. Really recommended! Thanks to Aurelio.“

“All very well. The best of the Belen neighborhood.
Very friendly waiters know many languages. Spectacular, very good food. I would say more, the best I've tasted in Lisbon, I recommend it, it's worth going on purpose, don't look for luxury accessories, but the best food I've tasted in Lisbon.“

“Authentic!!!! An incredible, fun atmosphere, current and traditional Portuguese music. Screw they don't reserve, so, lucky, but the tables rotate easily... the food is original and very good... the service advises you well..
The usual thing is to share, but they also have individual dishes

you will love it“

“Right at the entrance we were welcomed even though we didn't have a reservation and as there were tables available, we were given the freedom to choose where we wanted to stay! We appreciate it soon!!!
Afterwards, we had the pleasure of being attended to by Tiago, who is an employee who does the housework! A generosity, friendliness, honesty and attention to the customer that makes us want to come back!
The food is very good, we tried the grilled goat chops, simple but delicious with the real flavor of the meat!!! but the menu is excellent and there are plates to share with the best meat available for all tastes and for all sizes of groups of customers!
They recommend reservations for Friday and Saturday nights and you can request a reservation to be attended by Tiago!
We are from Porto and we felt like we were at home, in a good place!

Parking: Next to the restaurant entrance“

“Chose Bastardo for our 'big dinner out' on our recent stay in Lisbon.
It was good on the whole but for the prices I was disappointed.
The food was good and it arrived promptly.
However the drink service was very slow and the waiters not attentive enough to realise.
They seemed more interested in getting you through the service so they could clear up and relay the table ready for the next customer. This perhaps works during the day but in the evening when they have the space why rush the food?
I'd asked for the wine menu but no one came to take an order!
I would try it again if I'm back in Lisbon, I may have just been unlucky.“

“I fell in love with this restaurant since the first time.
The atmosphere and service is nice, and the staff is very friendly. I really like the concept of sharing food when I go out to eat and this is exactly the concept of the restaurant.
They usually have some ambience traditional Portuguese music playing like fado and others, which complements very well the overall atmosphere.
The food is very tasty and the portions are generous.
Definitely an experience to repeat several times and a place where I want to come again with several of my friends.“

“We spent the Valentine’s Day here. It was possible only with reservations and a special menu. Atmosphere was very lovely,(we also had live music), service friendly and the food very tasty. The wine from the imposed menu was not ok for us, but we chose a sparkling wine, extra charge. Overall - I would surely recommend it!“

“This is one of my favorite places in Lisbon.

An excellent example of traditional Portuguese cuisine, well executed with simple techniques.
Excellent product and very good treatment of it.

The dishes are abundant, especially the main ones.

Attentive and fun service. You leave the premises with a smile and the desire to return.

The place is a bit small and gets a little noisy when there are a lot of people, which is usually the case.

It is advisable to reserve in advance.“

“Fantastic experience. When you come in, there is bread,butter, olives, ham & cheese on the table - you do not have to take it, but you'll miss out. It's so good! We chose the fish and were not dissapointed. They brought a whole lobster for 2 people, plus shrimps and clams - on top of the dish Base with rice, port and small shrimps
Extensive wine list - we were overwhelmed and asked out server for a recommendation. She suggested a very well priced red that was a good match for our meal.
Recommend.“

“I recently dined here and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The ambience was cozy and inviting, with warm lighting and tasteful decor that set the perfect mood for a memorable meal. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, each one expertly crafted with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor.

I particularly enjoyed the amaretto sour cocktail, which was perfectly balanced and served with a twist of citrus that added a refreshing zing. As for the food, every dish was a culinary masterpiece. From the appetizers to the desserts, each plate was beautifully presented and packed with delicious flavors.

The staff were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the evening. Overall, my dining experience was exceptional, and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable meal.“

“The menu is divine.The prices are high, yes, but the food is worth that price!The Argentine Rib Eye was tender and juicy. The hazelnut gnocchi melted in my mouth, along with the homemade parsely butter as the Couverte. The Malbec wine was elegant and went down smoothly.I'd recommend this to anyone.“

“We did the classic review spiral before going to Loco and had hesitated after seeing some of what was written. We decided to just go for it, and I'm so glad we did!! It was an amazing experience. We have never had such attentive service (they even noticed my husband was left handed and rearranged his place setting!). On top of that, the food was so creative and dynamic. They're zero waste mentality was exceptional. I loved that they kept coming back to it to show how they use the whole ingredient. Definitely recommend doing the wine pairing, as they are very generous pours and really enhanced the food and experience.“

“The ambiance is so cute! I ducked into this place while it was sprinkling out and loved the stone walls and intimate setting. Josef was my server and was so kind to educate me on traditional Portuguese feed. I had the Couvert followed by the cod with cream and both were incredible! I also had the house red and it was so yummy. Josef was attentive, kind and funny. I enjoyed my time!“

“This is a surprisingly excellent, comfy place to eat. Surprising because it’s just 30 steps down from the famous Bifanas do Afonso which always has very long lines of waiting customers. Madalena is much less crowded so you get
served quickly and the food is even better (and healthier) than Afonso, IMHO. I eat ketogenic, so I had their bunless hamburger topped with an egg and it came with not one, but two, high quality, delicious and generous-sized patties. Highly recommended.“

“We had dinner several days, a place close to the hotel area, and both the food and the service were excellent.
Thanks to Diogo, who attended to us both days, and was very kind and attentive.
Without a doubt a very good option, also for the price.“

“Kid-friendliness: Sim , têm um espaço, pegado às instalações onde podem brincar à vontade sob a vigilância dos pais, que rem mesas para degustar o que encomendaram , local aprazível, para lanchar com os "putos".

Wheelchair accessibility: A porta lateral às instalações está ao mesmo nível.“

“Great service and good prices“

“We ate excellent cod for its quality and preparation, and some very successful desserts. and best of all, the attention and service of the waiter, Antonio, who is Spanish, and who serves with great kindness and very professionally. Without a doubt, we will return.“

“The food was extraordinary, sort of eccentric and exotic, overall delicious, perfect for sharing. The interior of the restaurant was very urban and rich with original art pieces. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and cooperative! Will visit again!? ?“

“Best meal ever in Lisbon.A must visit for lisbon visitors.Give it a trial you will not be disappointed.“

“Very pleasant restaurant, reservation being essential to eat there, the number of people in the room is regulated and allows a calm meal in a subdued atmosphere.
The service is warm and quality, the owner takes care to personalize the service and all with a smile.
The cuisine is hearty and tasty.
We had a great time marking the end of our stay in Lisbon, and can only recommend it.

Vegetarian options: You can taste a Portuguese sausage specialty with meat and bread, suitable for vegetarians. The vegetarian dishes are very tasty.“

“Près de la mairie, loin des circuits touristiques, c'est une pâtisserie - cafétéria typiquement locale. Service très aimable, produits frais et de bonne qualité. Contrairement à d'autres avis, prix assez élevés, il est vrai qu'ils ne sont pas affichés de façon visible ( 16 euros pour un cappucino, un café latte et trois petits gateaux).“

“This place is fantastic! Each dish we got was easily a 10/10. Very flavorful and delicious! The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. We loved it so much we talked about coming back the next day for lunch! Definitely worth a visit.“

“A gourmet restaurant that well deserves its Michelin star. We appreciated the quality of the service, the dishes offered are tasty and very finely cooked. As a perfectly cooked camarao starter, the dishes are salmon sorrel and tasty veal cordon bleu. The saint honored for dessert with very fine choux pastry. The icing on the cake was the sweet treats at the end of the meal, and the appetizer as a starter were perfect. We recommend the lunch menu at 45 euros which is great value for money.“

“We said we were Spanish and a waiter came to speak to us in Spanish. He told us that the appetizer dishes were charged and that we could remove what we didn't want, so we were left with three. The ham was very good but the cut failed. They advised us on the menu. My husband's dish took a long time to bring and they invited him and did not charge for his dessert... the deference came out of them. We were three. Modest wine and a dessert in mind. 150 euros. Good food but it wasn't spectacular either“

“Such a special place and an absolute must for dinner in Lisbon.

The food was incredible and the small details within their wonderful service was so very special.

Make sure you book... It's hard to get a table and you definitely can't just walk in. (August)“
