    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!

    A very ambient spot, hints of an old world restaurant, with great service. It’s a small menu because but what they do, they do extremely well.

    Without any doubt, the best steak in Lisbon. The ambience and service is exquisite- feels like we travel back in time. Please try the croquetes - amazing.

    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.

    The food was incredible and the staff was terrific. I would definitely visit this place again when I come back to town and I rarely ever revisit places on vacation. We ordered the house steak and it was cooked to perfection. Our waiter paired it magnificently with a red from southern Portugal.

    For romantic, business or family (without unpolite kids, please) A top tier restaurant with the ambience of the sophisticated classic old days. The food is amazing, drinks also (including cocktails) The staff service is superb! I mean, those rare quality staff and service nowadays you only get from the most expensive restaurants (and even in comparison with those, they would excel) Couldn’t have been a more positive experience. Price-quality for what I have described above, is unbeatable Can’t recommend more. You will Love the experience!

    The service is top-notch, characterized by careful attention, politeness, and friendliness, with a keen focus on the customers. We had the “bife à cafe do Paço”, the meat was excellent and cooked to perfection, although it could have come with a bit more sauce. The potatoes are frozen, and I believe this aspect could be improved. The decor is somewhat neglected, and the space deserves more attention. There are decorative elements in the entrance, dining room, and bathroom that make no sense at all, lacking cohesion. I quite enjoyed the experience due to the service and the food, but given the abundance of restaurants in Lisbon, this place deserves an investment to prevent it from being overlooked.
