We had two excellent meals at Bastardo whilst on our Lisbon city break. For our first we had an excellent selection of sushi; I’ve been fortunate enough to eat at some fantastic restaurants all over the world and this rated right up there. Not a huge selection but what was on offer was excellent. For our second meal we all had fish or shellfish. The octopus rice, beautifully tender octopus in a sumptuous white wine risotto, was excellent. The tuna mataki was excellent and the king prawn risotto was their equal. All in all we would thoroughly recommend Bastardos. Excellent service, great food and a nice modern atmosphere. Make sure to book through The Fork and get a 50% discount too!

The food was well thought but not greatly executed. I consider overcooking prawn for example to be an executable flow for a restaurante at this price range. Nevertheless the location and waiters are great. The place is not very clean.

Some of the best shrimp tacos we have had. The oysters were fantastic and the cod dumplings amazing. Unfortunately, the service-staff lacks experience and must be trained and advised how to behave as a waiter on a restaurant. Can not be very difficult to see if glasses are empty or ask if everything is ok?

Food really good, waiters not so good, all friendly but some not understanding English and having to come twice to get the order correctly. Asking for the bill took forever at least 25min, again asking a waiter who says yes o come with your bill and never returned. We asked 3x !!! And the restaurant was not even busy !

Service a bit inconsistent. Attended to larger parties more often. I’m guessing the sea bass wasn’t the Chilean sea bass as the portion was very thin filet where I am used to a large firm cut. I miss the whole fish dorado over the potato cake. This was just ok. I’ve had much better there.

Bastardo • Owner
Boa tarde, estimada Margarida, desde já agradecer o seu comentário, comentou com os nossos colegas no momento da refeição? caso tivesse feito teríamos trocado o seu prato de forma célere, por outro em que tivesse mais do seu agrado. Não é algo comum, e gostamos sempre que todos os nossos clientes saiam satisfeitos com a sua experiencia, é para isso que trabalhamos diariamente. Uma vez mais pedir desculpa por os pratos não estarem no seu melhor como normalmente apresentamos aos nossos queridos clientes. Melhores cumprimentos a equipa Bastardo.

A restaurant in the heart of Lisbon - and you can tell, since the employees talk to you in English because they assume you are a tourist; understandable, but it makes the experience not that nice. The food is good, although not surprisingly good, but extremely overpriced for its quality. The only dish that deserves to be highlighted is the shrimp taco - an interesting mix of flavours and textures.
Bastardo • Owner
Boa tarde estimada Marta, desde já agradecer o seu comentário que apesar de ser em inglês é sempre bem vindo, todas as opiniões são importantes e fazem-nos melhorar constantemente. Não é nosso procedimento que as primeiras palavras trocadas com os nossos queridos clientes sejam em outra língua se não o Português, provavelmente foi um mal entendido com os colegas. Em relação aos preços, os pratos escolhidos com matérias primas como Sushi, sendo os nossos peixes frescos e de boa qualidade, reflete no preço final, que apesar de tudo contou com um desconto de 50% referente ao Thefork. Continuação de um ótimo dia, muito obrigado pelo seu feedback. Melhores cumprimentos, Bastardo Restaurante

Honestly, I was skeptical it'd be a tourist trap because ground zero location but we were pleasantly surprised, especially with the sushi which is hard to find in Lisbon. Diverse cuisine, creative and beautifully presented. The window seat is a people watching show. I had a good negroni and the pinot noir.

The service needs to be improved. We have been asked about what we wanted to eat after more than 30 minutes we were seated. They forgot to bring one of the main course we ordered. Not sure if because lack of personnel or poor professionalism
Bastardo • Owner
Good afternoon, thank you very much for your valuable feedback on your experience. Every day we work hard to provide the best possible service to our customers, so that they always leave with a great memory of our restaurant. Unfortunately, on that particular day, two of our staff members were unwell, which significantly affected our service and the usual attention we give to all our guests. We sincerely apologize that your experience was not as expected, and assure you that, under normal circumstances, it is always of the highest standard. Thank you very much, Restaurante Bastardo.

The food was amazing, lots of choices. The restaurant is comfortable, good ambience. The only negative point is if you reserve a table at 22pm after one hour and 10 mints they will turn off the music and deemed the lights, making you feel in a hurry to finish your drinks and food. I wish they could keep the music for longer specially at a Friday night, or the restaurant shouldn’t have available a later booking if they cannot give the customer at least a 1h30 mints of full service and ambience.

Bastardo was in the upper echelon of restaurants we dined at when in Lisbon. We ordered salmon nigiri, seafood pasta, and the salmon with curry sauce. The salmon nigiri was rather dry and not as succulent as I would have hoped. Also, the salmon dinner was a small portion for the cost, and only included salmon and rice, no vegetables or anything else to bring the dish together. However, the taste, as well as the seafood pasta all around, was incredibly delicious. On top of the service and ambience, Bastardo was a pleasant stop during our vacation.

The definition of a 10 out of 10 meal. Though at the naked eye it may seem pricey, every single dime spent on the food here served is well worth it. Coupled with that, a very friendly and welcoming, young staff, in a cosy environment, an amazing meal we had here. Definitely a place to go back to, whenever possible!
