9.5/10Day 2 of our Lisbon adventure led us to Belém 2 a 8, a restaurant we had eagerly booked via Fork.com prior to our trip. Despite a slight delay in seating upon our arrival, our patience was soon rewarded with a culinary experience that surpassed our expectations. Opting for Dos Arroz de Peix and Dos Ameijoas Bulh, we savored each mouthful of these delectable dishes. The shrimp and fish rice, in particular, stood out as a highlight of our trip, boasting flavors that delighted our palates like none other. Equally impressive were the clams, which showcased the restaurant's commitment to quality and taste. While the wait may have tested our patience, the exquisite flavors and complexity of the dishes more than compensated for any inconvenience. Belém 2 a 8 proved to be a culinary gem in the Belém area, offering a dining experience that is not to be missed. In conclusion, despite a minor delay, our visit to Belém 2 a 8 left a lasting impression, solidifying its place as a must-visit restaurant for anyone exploring the Belém area of Lisbon.

8.5/10This little restaurant is walking distance 12-15 min) from Jerónimos Monastery and has many good choices for lunch, at reasonable prices. My husband and I shared the mixed vegetable salad, the codfish cakes with tomato rice and the prawn and pineapple curry. All very tasty. We also had the white wine from Douro. All delicious and well presented. The only negative was that the service was very slow, both to get our meals and to pay the bill. As long as you’re not in a hurry I’d recommend this place.

9/10Good choice of food and extensive choice in wine. Service was excellent. We really enjoyed the codfish and burger. The tomato salad starter we shared with the codfish starter and it enhanced both dishes.

10/10I loved the atmosphere and that it was not crowded although pasteis the belem is just beside this restaurant. The food was excellent and the rice with shrimp surprisingly good loved the coriander especially in this stew. We tried Alheira for the first time and it was great! Due to the server's recommendation 2 dishes were not enough for 4 people and we ordered spicy sausage sautéed with pineapple which were fresh! We loved it very much! Also the staff was very nice and friendly.

9/10This is a cute little restaurant. The service was excellent. It’s got a good range of local dishes, focussing on codfish. It’s definitely designed for tourists because of its location near the attractions of Belém, but it’s not a tourist trap. The food was well prepared and tasty.

8.5/10It’s is a nice place. Not the greatest but I have had a lot worse. We were in northern Spain previously and the prices are a bit higher in Portugal. We had the mushrooms, a veal pie, bread, the rice and prawns dish, port, and beer. All very good and the service was excellent. Sat outside but should have been inside. The street is busy and noisy.

10/10We booked a table for 8 persons in advance of our trip to Belem. We were seated upstairs - a lovely dining space, which we had to ourselves. The food and wine were both of a very high standard. Our server, Aman, was exceptional. She looked after the party of 8 with courtesy, ease and efficiency. I would highly recommend a visit to this restaurant.

6/10We made a reservation up front using the Fork app. When we arrived we explained this and the staff represented by a rude senior bossy guy told us to go next door to a burger joint (!). A younger guy that actually understood a few words of English let us have a table and then disappeared. A very inexperienced waiter showed up. We ordered food and I wanted a glass of port wine with the cheese starter. After a while the waiter came back with a half full bottle of port an said “port wine finish”. I said well ok, what you have there is a bottle of port, can I have a glass of that one? “No port wine finish” was the answer. I gave up and ordered a beer instead. After that I ordered a glass of red wine, which was served without a chance to taste it first. The food was good, my wife and I agreed. The service was on “Fawlty Towers” level, for people being old enough to understand that reference.

7.5/10The food is delicious, but the service wasn't very good. One of the waiters was always yelling at the other waiters. The person waiting on us was sloppy.

10/10Food was excellent! I had the grilled fish. It was served with a side salad and the ever-present potatoes. Others in my party had the steak. It was served medium rare on the rare side, but they didn’t mind. I saw other dishes being served and everything looked great. Would recommend!

9.5/10Always a pleasure to eat here, the food quality is superb and the prices are adequate. The mixed salad with chicken is so tasty and abundant, and the fresh cheese and pumpking jam is the perfect appetizer. Also, the position is excellent: easy to get there by tram and bus, and very close to the Geronimo's monastry and Tower of Belen. Strongly recommended!

6/10Good food, specially Cod, but the service wasn't good. Only 2 waiters for a restaurant with terrace and 2 floors. We had to wait more than 30min just waiting to know which could we order...

7.5/10Efficient and welcoming employees. Restaurant was full with less than expected employees. The service couldn’t catch up with a full restaurant. To upgrade to acceptable service more employees where needed. Good food but overwhelmed employees. It’s a shame… :(

3/10We had a reservation for 3, when we arrived the welcoming was very cold. Maybe we weren’t as dressed up as some other costumers so the first thing the waiter asks at the door is « what do you want?? » and when we told him that we had a reservation he responded « are you sure??! ». It was very rude and we felt very uncomfortable, shame on you. They realized it i think and tried to make it up by making some jokes. We sat anyways and we ordered. We took some colas to drink and the waiter would come at the table and lift them up to see if they were empty like two minutes after he gave them to us. The starters were nice but the main course was “linguine with squid ink and shrimp” the pasta was dry (too cocked) and the taste very bland, it was literally only pasta and some shrimps put on top + a leaf of basil. I actually told the waiter but the only solution he proposed was some mayonnaise… i wouldn’t recommande this restaurant to anybody.

9.5/10Great food at the heart of Belem. We ate here for lunch and ordered codfish pie, salad, and the chef’s special, which was seafood rice. All three dishes were hearty and delicious. Highly recommend to come here if you are in the area, as they offer a true Portuguese meal at an affordable price.

8/10One waiter, for the the whole restaurant inside and out, makes for very slow service! Peixinhos da Horta are nothing like the original recipe, they were too doughy and salty. Pastéis de Massa Tenra were tasty and the arroz de tomate was delicious.

7/10Stylish interior, Owner that works the floor and attentive staff. Food rather in line with the area's offerings, nothing special. As with a lot of the restaurants we've visited, beware of accepting offers of water, melon appetizers passes around, seemingly "on the house", unless you're ready to be paying for such...
