Incredible lunch experience—beautiful setting, warm, friendly and gracious service, and truly the best steak we’ve had in Lisbon. This is the kind of place you dream about returning to—classic, consistent, and absolutely unforgettable. A must-visit when in Lisbon.

Excellent Service! Great cocktails, delicious steaks with a suggest by our waiter to have the steak grilled with sauce on the side. Wine suggestion was spot on and the chocolate dessert was an excellent end to a great dinner out.

Service was on point, steak was good, could be a bit softer but good, pica pau was also nice. Leite Creme was amazing. But again, the service makes it worth it.

The staff were wonderful and hospitable. And the service fantastic. That bread basked was unbelievable and we had to stop ourselves ordering a third time! A truly quintessential Portuguese dining experience for our group.

About this restaurant

Com os melhores bifes de Lisboa servidos até de madrugada, o Café São Bento foi reaberto em 2006, mantendo a decoração tradicional com predominância das madeiras e bibelots antigos. O ambiente mantém-se intimista, fugindo ao conceito tradicional do restaurante pois identifica-se mais com um pub....
