service was amazing. Staff was attentive but not annoying. Very helpful since it was my first time dinning here. The food was amazing different flavors that made it all pop. The texture and presentation on the cod was brilliant . For dessert the pana cota lacked nothing. Not your typical menu. bit loved every bite

Restaurant Animal is an absolute gem—a place where atmosphere, hospitality, and cuisine come together beautifully. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed into a stunning setting, complete with a lush tropical garden that instantly transports you away from the everyday. The ambiance is both relaxing and vibrant, making it perfect for a special evening or a laid-back meal surrounded by nature. One of the standout aspects is how genuinely dog-friendly the restaurant is. It’s rare to find a place that not only allows dogs but truly embraces them, making both guests and their furry companions feel equally welcome. The staff deserve special praise—they are attentive, warm, and effortlessly professional. Their passion for what they do is evident in every interaction, elevating the entire dining experience. And then there’s the food: simply delicious. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully presented.

Our team will be thrilled by your kind words about their hospitality and service. And of course, we’re very happy that you enjoyed the food and the overall ambiance of our tropical garden setting.

Animal restaurant is in the back part of a hotel lobby. Nice decor. Food was delicious. Unfortunately the service was extremely poor. The waitress was more interested chatting to one male kitchen staff than attending to the guests. Turned her back almost the whole time I was there to the diners what I find very unprofessional. All tables had empty glasses. I would not go to animal a second time because of the poor service.
Animal – Restaurant & BarThank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the décor and the quality of the food, but we’re truly sorry that the service did not meet expectations. Attentive and professional service is something we take very seriously, and the situation you described falls short of the standards we aim to provide. We will address this feedback with our team to ensure improvements are made. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity in the future so we can offer you the complete and positive experience you deserve.

Everything was delicious and the experience was great, although the prices were a bit too high, the cheapest wine was 30€… Probably won’t repeat because of it.

The service at Animal during my visit with four others was shockingly bad. The floor manager was doing everything—taking orders, clearing tables, handling payments—while two young staff members ran around with zero idea what they were doing. Basic requests were forgotten repeatedly: the floor manager even forgot a steak knife twice, leaving the food getting cold. But the young woman with short hair was on another level of incompetence. I asked her THREE times for the bill, and she still stood around helplessly because she didn’t even know how their own POS system worked. When she finally brought the bill, I gave her €100 immediately. She owed me €10 change and simply vanished. No sign of her, no change, no explanation. After ten minutes I had to get up, go to the register myself, and complain just to get my money back. Utterly chaotic, unprofessional, and one of the worst service experiences I’ve had in Lisbon. Take your money and go to other restaurants, this area has plenty of them.
Animal – Restaurant & BarWe are very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at Animal. The situation you describe regarding the coordination of our team and the handling of your requests is unacceptable and far from the level of service we strive to provide. Your feedback about the delays, forgotten items, and confusion with payment is extremely valuable, and we will be addressing these issues directly with our staff to ensure they do not happen again. Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed comments. We regret that your visit left such a negative impression, and we hope you might give us another opportunity in the future to demonstrate the professionalism and hospitality that our guests deserve.

Our lunch was very pleasant. The service was super, they had our reservation and as we arrived early in the lunch hour we had our choice of tables. We had a wonderful view of the garden. The menu has some marvelous choices, I chose the grilled lettuce starter which was outstanding. My partner had the entrecôte, which was delicious. As it was the day after St. Martinho, we were offered roasted chestnuts as an extra, really nice. I highly recommend this place.
Animal – Restaurant & BarGood evening Mr. Curtis, Thank you very much for sharing such a thoughtful review. We are delighted to know that your lunch with us was so pleasant, from the welcome and service to the comfort of choosing your preferred table and enjoying the view of the garden. It is wonderful to hear that the grilled lettuce starter and the entrecôte were to your liking. We are especially pleased that the roasted chestnuts, offered in the spirit of St. Martinho, added an extra touch to your experience. Your recommendation means a great deal to us. We look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you back on a future visit. Best regards, Animal Team
