Ordered the duck and the bife à portuguesa. The food was not flavorful and the beef was very hard. And 1,10€ for one mini dose of butter , is very overpriced. But the staff was great, maybe their specialty is the fondue (that I didn’t try)

The return to the Altair for our last night in Portugal was the experience we had hoped for after our slightly rushed initial visit on arrival. The food is cooked to order and includes some delicious Portuguese originals, the cooking and origins of which were described to us in great detail. It has been memorable for all the best reasons.

Excellent attentive service making us feel welcome after a flight delay upset our timings. Enjoyed the retro cheese fondue and would like to check out some more Portuguese dishes

We went for dinner. the service was amazing and the meat real tender. however, the fries seemed to have been re-fried from the lunch leftovers... we asked to change and they brought us a fresh one.

Family atmosphere in an old world room. Food was winter comfort - we ate two kinds of fondue and soup. Sangria was the perfect accompaniment.

Overall ok experience, but you should improve service (more than 1 waiter), as service took too long. Portions were enough, but quality wasn’t what was expected according to ratings.., fair priced though.

We are for the first time in Lisbon and we wanted to visit traditional Portuguese restaurant that is mostly preferred by locals. And we had one of the most memorable lunches at our lives - our host and manager of the venue, Katya, hosted as very warmly and consulted as in the best possible way. She tackled all our food preferences and managed to offer us the amazing food of the chef - Eduardo. The price range is superb and affordable and we encountered only locals spending their time there.

Good food as always. Excellent service, attentive and courteous. Ventilation needs to be improved as odours from kitchen find their way to dining room. Chair cushions need to be washed.

Outstanding dining experience at a restaurant with fantastic service, delicious food, and incredible dessert. The bife à Portuguesa was the standout dish, cooked to perfection and topped with a rich and savory Portuguese sauce. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Will comeback again 10/10

Quite attentive service in a cosy and quiet restaurant., offering enough space between tables for a quiet conversation. Prices are very reasonable and represent an excellent deal considering the quality of what is served, whether fish or meat.

Excellent food, as always. Service was great, faster than normal. Dining room was very quiet today -- comparing with weekends when families usually bring the kids.

This restaurant had a very misleading high score it does not deserve and I am writing this comment in order to protect other clients from making the same mistake i did when choosing it. This is a small and noisy restaurant, where the food is of no interest at all, less than in a cafeteria. It is curious how it got a score above 9 , while ist should be around 4.

As usual, good food and courteous service. It is a pity that room temperature was too high because this was a very hot day. It may be difficult to park your car nearby.

Despite being a Friday evening, the restaurant was quite empty because it was in the quiet time between Christmas and New Year. Friendly, efficient service, well prepared and cooked food. I had duck breast, my companions had salmon and tuna; all of which are easy to cook badly, all of which were cooked to perfection. Very nice desserts and good wine selection. Only downside is that the restaurant takes debit cards or cash only.

The restaurant was really cozy with a lovely and quiet environment, the fondue was amazing with delicious fruit, home made fried chips, the meat very tasty and the staff always ready to help. The chocolate fondue was la crème de la crème! Definitely to repeat and the prices are competitive! Keep up with the good work.

We are locals who recently moved to this neighborhood. Looked it up in the net and what a great surprise. Located in a palace like house, dating nearly three centuries, that use to belong to Marquês de Pombal, serving as the relaxing spot on his journeys between Lisbon and his Quinta de Oeiras. Very cosy, kept its ancient beautiful decor. Nice variety of delicious dishes at very reasonable prices. The same applies for the wines. Attentive service. Congratulations. Definitely to be repeated.
