In a busy tourist thoroughfare like Rua Augusta in Lisbon you can find a lot of mediocre or outright bad food….but not at Cozinha d’Avo Celeste. This restaurant looks and sounds like the many others around it, but our lunch here was a pleasant surprise. One of us had Fish and Chips (always a good bet in Portugal) while the other had Vegetable Paella. Both meals were tasty. If you seek a decent lunch to fuel you for an afternoon of Lisbon hill climbing, then try this place!
We were passing this place and saw the Bacalao fish cakes Pastéis de Bacalhau I think. I loved them so much that one evening I just had a couple for my meal. I enjoyed the wine (rose and white) and especially the sangria, both red and surprisingly white! The young staff were really friendly and fun, and the language barrier between English and Portuguese didn’t really matter. The majority of the staff spoke English to put English speakers to shame.
We stopped off for a pastel de cacalhau and a glass of port. Service was ok, not impressive. Seats outside a good, as you can see everyone walking past. Pastel tasted ok, port tasted cheap. Nice experience, wouldn't visit again
