    The place has a classic style, the service was perfect from the start, we felt welcomes from the door. The waiter Wich I believe was the person in charge for the service is just top notch. we had the house steak and the quality of the meat was amazing. Everything was great! A must try experience if you visit Lisbon.

    Love this place, this will be on our visit list every time we come back. Nice small place. Great service food was excellent. Reminds me of a small café in Japan. That’s unassuming until you walk inside. Well worth the visit.

    Casa do Paço is a cozy little restaurant that specializes in steak. I started with a meat croquette and an Alento vinho tinto (red wine), then had a small sirloin in a Portuguese cream sauce, with a side of creamed spinach and French fries. Usually, the steaks are served with a fried egg on top but I wasn’t super hungry and had them leave off the egg. For dessert, I chose something very light, Farófias. It was like eating a cloud dunked in vanilla cream Anglaise. The service was exceptional, and my waiter’s English was great. Casa do Paço would be great for a dinner date — it’s quiet enough for conversations. Reservations are required – book a table at one of the red velvet booths. Highly recommend

    I’ve been in Cafe do Paço many times with my partner and it’s always a beautiful experience. The people working there are always so nice and accommodating. They take really good care of you. The food is outstanding! The steaks are so juicy and creamy. I love it so much. I will definitely keep coming back!

    An old-school, intimate restaurant with great service. Stained glass, comfy velvet seating and not a TV in sight. A small menu focusing on steak - properly cooked and served. We also enjoyed our croquette starters and “hot and cold” dessert. A perfect night out.

    Absolutely amazing experience! A traditional menu and everything cooked to perfection. The place is beautiful and special. We are so fortunate to have visited. If you can reserve a seat, you must go! Their bacalhau and biffe were perfection!

    It’s been so long since we’ve had service staff impress us with their professionalism. Incredibly attentive and thoughtful staff, and the menu is simple but the food is divine.

    When we arrived the staff were very professional and the restaurant was very stylish inside. The reason why I gave it such a low rating is because the food was not worth its cost. I can’t say much about the Bacalhau à Bras because I didn’t like it personally, but I’d never had it before, and all the other reviews say it’s the best. What I can say is that the food on the other tables didn’t look super inviting (the hot chips looked frozen). Also we had pineapple as dessert (4.50€) and we literally got a circular slice. The service was good, I personally am not a fan of waiters pouring my water, but that’s my subjective opinion. However there was the disservice of them not having a litre bottle of water (which was 3.80€) so we had to get a half a litre (which is 3€) and I personally think they should’ve offered to give us two for the price of the 1L. Anyways, I don’t think I’d recommend mostly because of the value for money.

    This place is absolutely amazing. The menu is limited but the food is utterly fantastic. Service is impeccable. This is a hidden gem and worth the hike.

    Fabulous service, very good food even if there isn't much variety. A little bit noisy but the room is small, so it probably can't be helped.

    I had no idea, before arriving, that this type of restaurant is very typically and traditionally Portuguese. The decor is so opulent and almost majestic. The waiters were extremely attentive and welcoming and obviously very proud of their restaurant. The food is the best we have had here. Delicious Bacala and prawn curry (with Portuguese origins, we were told, from Goa). Also full of local customers. Loved it!

    We had to ring the bell and wait till someone opens... got that secret masonry vibe... It does have the fine dining ambiance, also somewhat snobbish or... I don't know, they worry too much to take themselves seriously... I ordered the cod dish and asked the waiter (the doorman, the barman in the same persona) "Why are there worms in my fish?"... you should see the horror on his face!! My joke almost cost the poor man a heart attack.
