Amazing vibe and perfect service! The best place to go for a late night meal - stays open until 1am and kitchen closes late

This is a wonderful restaurant that serves the absolute most delicious steaks in Lisbon! Among other items on the menu, the bacalhau, is divine! The waiter was kind enough to help me concoct a "Hot Toddy" for my husband who was under the weather, and in no time, was feeling no pain! We had such a lovely evening...thank you so much for your delicious food and hospitality!

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.

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....
