50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Santo Antao Do Tojal

“Restaurant that brings the flavors of Alentejo here to the Loures area, we always have starters on the table with olive oil, bread, cheese, chorizo. Good dishes with good portions. The side dishes are varied, but of course the highlight goes to the migas, which are very tasty. Prices in line with the doses and are not exaggerated prices. Recommended. It has a parking lot. I liked one detail, the tables have a small extension so the dishes can stay there without taking up the table space.“

“Advice: my French and foreign friends go there.
I have never drunk such good sangria or tasted such good Portuguese dishes. The meals are plentiful and the family generous. My companion and I were very surprised by the not-so-high bill, with two digestives added to what we had ordered. It's a very good family restaurant, don't look around and you won't find anything better than here.“

“Very good service and excellent food, we were there late and got served our dinner without problems. We promised to come back before our departure home but finally could’nt make it wich was a bummer since we enjoyed a lot the first time. Maybe next time!“

“Visiting Lisbon with my family from Boston. Came across this hidden gem while searching for restaurants on google maps. From the time we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff. We chose to sit out back, mainly because we had our two young sons with us. We ordered a caprese salad, minestrone soup, garlic bread, french fries, tomato bruschetta, 2 margharita pizzas and penne carbonara. My goodness! Everything was delicious and the price point was PERFECT! It was wonderful chatting with our server! Clearly everyone at this establishment takes a great deal of pride in what they do. I honestly would drive an hour to eat here again. It’s really that good! Hoping to stop by before our trip back to Boston!“

“Exceptional restaurant.
We discovered this restaurant on TheFork.
We had dinner there twice. We were very well received. There is a very good atmosphere, with a wonderful sharing of culture and origins.
The waitress speaks Portuguese but also English very well.
The meat is of impeccable quality. It is tender and perfectly cooked.
There is a superb wine cellar, and the waitress advises very well.
If you read this review, go for it!!!
Remember to make a reservation as the restaurant is popular.“

“[email protected] My husband and I are still in awe with our experience at Rossio Gastrobar. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and they took the time to thoroughly explain what to expect from our dining experience. Our server was a true professional, able to suggest a wine based on our preferences and his choice was delightful. We were overjoyed at each and every step, from the starters to the main courses and on to the desserts - everything was delicious, and the portions were perfect. To top it all off, the rooftop views overlooking the bustling city of Lisbon provided a perfect backdrop to our meal. We'll certainly be back for more!“

“I've been here a couple of times, and every time I go to Lisboa travelling via Oriente station, I try to make a beeline for it. Fabulous food, wonderful , person attention, a real family business. And if you have never tried chilled blackberry juice (sumo de amoras) with berries floating in it on a very hot summer's day...baby, you haven't lived!!“

“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“

“The food, the atmosphere and service were all outstanding. The waiters were all super nice, the mashed potatoes, cod and the national loin thing were all amazing, and you could see the chef making everything by hand, making a new batch of mashed potatoes every time someone ordered it. The prices were really good for how good the food was, and this is probably the best restaurant I have ever been to!“

“We loved it, the super friendly team, an environment that makes you want to be.
Reasonable prices, we were very well served. We came from France to visit the sanctuary and were a little lost.
We will definitely come back again
Thank you ?“

“Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere, and service provided by the owner. I've had the pork cheeks with mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs with black pork as a starter, and curd cheesecake as a dessert, along with the recommended red wine, and it has been the best meal I've had in Lisbon so far. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an incredible dinner in a very local Lisbon establishment.“

“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.“

“Restaurant that I highly recommend. Very welcoming and attentive servers. Very nice pieces of fish and meat. 13€ for the salmon steak with fries and salad. 59€ for 3 with shared starter, main course and soft drink. Very good value for money“

“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.“

“Five of us just spontaneously went to Mar Essen. We came without a reservation. Nevertheless, we were kindly given a table. The Portuguese map was presented to us in a very inviting way. What's pleasant is that you can freely choose and combine different dishes, tapas and burgers (very good for our 3 daughters). The food was very tasty, the service was attentive and flexible and we were very satisfied. The visit is worth it!“

“One of my favorite restaurants. I'm a regular customer, just like my family! The service is fast, the staff is incredibly friendly. The food is wonderful then. In addition to the flavor, the plating leaves our mouths watering even more. I highly recommend it!“

“Great local seafood restaurant in Lisbon!

We had Cod filet, clamps, seafood rice, and garlic prawns (so good that we even forgot to take photo). All the seafood here is really fresh and the seasoning is simple but heightening the flavors of the original ingredients.

This place seems more for local Lisbon people to have a beer and some seafood snacks not tourist-oriented. The price here is very reasonable. The interior decoration is also very simple. Staff here might not speak English, but they still try offering friendly services.

Definitely a place worth a visit for local seafood experience in Lisbon.“

“Atmosphere: Cozy and familiar. Service: Quick service, everyone is very friendly and attentive.Food: There are many options on the menu such as cod with cream, meats, delicious desserts, homemade farofias that melt in your mouth.Good price / quality, you should book a table.“

“A little pearl in the middle of the village where both the quality of the food and the service are exceptional!
Our favorite restaurant in the municipality of Vila Franca de Xira.
You will have to reserve seats well in advance as it is always busy, especially on weekends.“

“The owner is the maitre d’. He is friendly and accommodating. He knows his food allergens very well and also his wines. An excellent white port to start too. The dates and bacon for starter were exquisite and the steaks with sauce O Arco was sooo tender. We went back the next night and would have gone again if the holiday had been longer.“

“Affordable seafood restaurant. If you are looking for an english speaking resto this is not the place but the owner's patience and friendliness to describe his menu more than makes up for it. Fantastic octopus and seafood Arroz. However, our guests ordered 2 grilled salmon which came somewhat overcooked for our taste. Otherwise, fair price for good quality ingredients from the sea. Friendly staff. Small menu. Best seafood restaurant in lisbom so far. Nothing to do with downtown.“

“It deserves lots of praise and a new visit. In an easily accessible location, it offers a rich menu, a robust wine list and an impressive dessert list.
Among so many good things, I can highlight the soft dough pastries and the abbe de priscos. However, at a large group table no one complained. An excellent meal that will be remembered.“

“La tasca par excellence. Une cuisine simplissime au carvão. Des produits de qualité, un service efficace, un écran de télévision omniprésent, un décor qui n’en a que le nom et des prix très abordables. La tasca rassemble toutes les catégories sociales, toutes les générations et tous les ventres. Réservation de rigueur. Fatima au service, Manel aux fourneaux. Respect.“

“I loved it, I don't think it could have gone better.
Full house, great food full of delicious details like pine nuts in meatballs with cherry sauce; super friendly and efficient service, fair and serious prices, diverse menu with starters that serve perfectly as a meal for those who like to snack on different dishes, very good atmosphere with people of different ages, families, friends, locals and foreigners in full coexistence.
But all because the food is delicious; congratulations, I'll be back!“

“We had the pleasure of celebrating a christening at Estórias Casa da Comida, located next to the charming Jardim das Amoreiras, and the experience was simply exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with unparalleled hospitality. The support service for the event was impeccable, with an extremely professional and attentive team, ensuring that every detail was executed to perfection.

The food was another memorable highlight of our celebration. The menu available was perfectly suited to the occasion, with dishes that not only pleased the palate, but also impressed with their presentation. Each dish was delicious, highlighting the quality of the ingredients and the kitchen's ability to provide a sophisticated gastronomic experience.

The space, with its classic and very chic style, added a touch of elegance to the event. The welcoming decor, combined with the refined atmosphere, created the perfect atmosphere for such a special celebration. The attention to detail, from the decor to the service, made us feel truly valued and comfortable throughout the party.

In short, Estórias Casa da Comida provided us with a memorable experience during the baptism we celebrated. With excellent service, delicious food and a charming space, it is a place that we highly recommend for any type of event. We loved every moment!“

“Small but very welcoming restaurant, with a terrace on the street, impeccable staff with super affable and friendly service, excellent quality food, not to mention the value for money... at lunch the menu is €10 with soup, main course, drink, dessert and coffee, all great and tasty! My chicken steak with cream and Portuguese-style pork were very good! Quality traditional Portuguese food is really worth it!“

“Escolhemos o La Caffé para fazer um lanche para celebrar em família a primeira Comunhão da nossa filha. Foi uma excelente escolha!! Desde da comido à simpatia da Tânia e do chefe de cozinha. Muito acolhedor, parecia que estávamos em casa. Muito obrigada por terem proporcionado este final de tarde tão maravilhoso, neste dia tão especial para nós!!“

“We haven't been in Alvor since 2019, and were looking forward to several visits to this fantastic restaurant during our recent holiday. We weren't disappointed. Marco and Ricardo warmly welcomed us and it was like we had never left. The whole grilled fish was better than we remembered and we are looking forward to next year already. This is a "must visit" restaurant when in Alvor. Be sure to book in advance though!“

“Casal Minhoto is an excellent option for a quality meal in the good Portuguese way. In addition to being one of the few restaurants in Póvoa de Santa Iria, it is a restaurant full of quality.
The last time we were there it was full and they gave us a 40 minute wait and accepted our name on the list. They handed us the menu and we were able to place our order before sitting down.
We ordered cockles, with toasted bread and garlic butter on the side, which was great, and fried turbot with greens rice.
The turbot came to the point of frying and seasoning. The rice is super naughty. The waiter served all three of us, which made a great difference to the service.
We had difficulty finishing the turbot that says in the menu it was for 2 people, but it served and there were leftovers for the three of us.
We didn't order desserts this time so I can't comment.
The friendliness of all the employees keeps us coming back.
Anyone who visits will certainly be well served.

Vegetarian options: I saw vegetarian options like fish from the garden.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp at the door that is somewhat inclined but not very long.“

“We had a lovely meal at Maresia, the ambience was very relaxing and the staff great. Due to the popularity of this restaurant 2 of the dishes we would have liked had sold out, we had a large wild sea bass to share and the waiter filleted it at the table for us, it was delicious and was served with potatoes and salad, for drinks we had a large beer and glass of red wine. There is sitting inside and outside and they have 2 bbq grills.“

“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!“

“We've been wanting to go to this restaurant for lunch for a long time, much talked about for its generous portions, especially the cod and ribs. We opted for the cod and it didn't disappoint, for those who eat well, the portion is enough for 3 people, for those who eat like this, it's enough for 4. Good on the palate and not at all salty, but, for the price of the portion you pay, it should come accompanied with some vegetables and for the dish to be really top-notch, they should serve mashed potatoes instead of boiled ones. If you want vegetables, everything is separate, which makes the meal even more expensive. The desserts we chose, although not transcendental, were good. As for the atmosphere, we went on a weekday and, interestingly enough, what we were expecting, it wasn't too noisy. On weekends, we don't know.

Overall, we will be back, this time to try the ribs.“

“My Air b&b owner recommended this restaurant. We waited for 3 hour for them to open for dinner. It was worth it. We had the sea bass and two squids for 4 people. They were all very delicious. Not much seasonings on the fish and squids, so the taste was original. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Restaurant next to the second ring road, in a quiet residential neighborhood, also close to Colégio Alemão and Estádio de Alvalade, it is a renowned restaurant that has a good wine list and a good menu as well as good service, I recommend it to anyone who can enjoy have a good meal and have no problem paying an above average price.“

“Absolutely wonderful food, service, and atmosphere.Seafood dishes were fresh and delicious and really done simply and great. The staff were efficient, very personable and friendly and a real joy, and the location gives a quaint/cozy feeling.We will definitely visit again and highly recommend.“

“This place was absolutely amazing. Great food at a great price. We have been traveling around Portugal and we have to admit this restaurant brought it to a higher level. We met Alex the owner who was a wonderful host. We highly recommend this restaurant !!!“

“We loved eating in this traditional restaurant, the food is great and of high quality, but it is at the same level of the treatment with which we were treated, kindness and friendliness. Without a doubt we will return

Vegetarian options: There are options for vegetarians“

“A place to eat fish where people can select what they want before sitting down in the restaurant, as the fish is available right at the entrance.
The place is not big so it is advisable to book
The meal did not disappoint, in our case we went for squid and cuttlefish, which were excellent. Grilled roe starter, also good. Friendly and pleasant service.
They accept cards. car park nearby.“

“It's one of my few favorite restaurants.
The food is extremely fantastic, the service is wonderful. And the wine selection is perfect. Owner Luís has an elegant vision for his restaurant. I've been a customer for a few years and every time I go I'm always praised ?✨“

“Had dinner last night with 4 people. We enjoyed several starters (oysters, green beans in tempura, cod fritters and potato chips with skin) and main courses (seared tuna with sweet potato purée, cod a bras, golden cod and octopus on a bed of sweet potatoes), all excellent . Really great beer and sangria. The desserts are also tasty (biscuit cake and brownies with caramel). Very friendly and helpful service with tourists. Very pleasant place both inside and outside.
Very recommended.“

“I don't understand any of the negative reviews. Service was some of the best I've had. The view is incredible. We were very happy with our meals- excellent food. Live music was very pleasant. We also had breakfast here which was amazing in terms of quality and selection.“

“D. Mônica is unparalleledly friendly, she has covered the history of the restaurant and the area, always available to help with any queries, the decor is divine, no detail is forgotten. Super tasty homemade food, nothing to write home about, will definitely repeat.
A good thing“

“Our 6th time here, a favorite restaurant with excellent and consistent Portuguese/European inspired food, service and experience. Best couverts, entradas and several fish and meat entres, each fresh, beautiful prepared and delicious. Incredible homemade desserts. Manager Eddy, Chef Juan, Juan C, Bruno and Caria highly attentive in all ways making each visit remarkable......“

“Very good as always, my favorite restaurant, I'm sorry, I would like to visit it more often. Spectacle! Comply. to all staff. A big hug to Fred and Bruno. Long live the Glorious towards 37! (2017)

After a few years, we are back!!
Everything 5 ⭐ as always!
Thank you and see you next time
Hugs to Fred, Bruno and their families ?
Comply.

“The fado was beautiful and really made our last night in Lisbon special. Despite a small communication/language problem, the propietier went above and beyond for us to address the issue.

Would highly recommend this place for the real authentic Portuguese experience. The atmosphere felt like everyone knew everyone and it was a regular way for the neighborhood to spend a Friday night. The food is simple and soulful - we had the mixed grill and the grilled seabass. Everything was seasoned well.

Please note this is a cash only establishment and they do not have a card machine. It is also a small restaurant that can be a bit hectic, but that's part of the charm.“

“I found No Tacho on the internet looking for a good restaurant with cozinha portuguesa, near the Hotel Oslo. The restaurant is small and therefore not noisy. It is easy to have a conversation with your friend(s). The food and wine were quite good and the staff (owner?) was very helpful with explanations and suggestions from the menu. You will not be disappointed if you visit No Tacho!“

“Very pleasant atmosphere. Cozy!
Unsophisticated food, but very well prepared.
An excellent follow-up by
“Ladies” of the room: Angela, Anabela and Paula!
Always attentive and with a smile!
Food and drink as described until 11pm!
All you can eat, and all you can drink!“

“Goodnight!
For the first time, I went to dinner at this space, Alqueire restaurant, on Friday, May 24, 2024.
Pleasant space, curious decoration, food, in general, good and service quite good, despite the restaurant being crowded. Positively highlight the employee, Francisco, who is very helpful, polite, attentive and very professional.
Compliments,
Paulo Nunes“

“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.“

“Had lunch at this lovely little restaurant tucked away just behind the main street. We had the anchovies which were the best we've ever had, and the Octopus rice which was fantastic. So reasonably priced. It's number 1 on TripAdvisor for a reason.“
