5.5/10We booked a table for 3pm to enjoy a special Christmas lunch, not expecting to be rushed out only 45 minutes later because the restaurant wanted to close. They shouldn’t have offered a reservation that left no time to even finish our drinks. We felt completely disappointed and ripped off .

10/10Loved our visit to this cafe. The pork cheeks were AMAZING, and I want to come back and order them again. One thing I don’t like is that they just put the bread service down on the table at the beginning without asking, which a lot of restaurants here do, and I feel it’s to take advantage of the tourists who don’t realize that you have to pay for it. I would just warn other diners about that…just say no when they bring it to your table if you don’t want it. Other than that, the service was friendly and sufficient. The discount we got on the food from booking on the Fork was very attractive, and we received a great meal for the money. We had a wonderful meal and would absolutely return.

6.5/10Location is lovely but the food is meh. We had to send a dish back to the kitchen - the octopus was limp, the potatoes look undercooked, and all in all the presentation was mediocre. Would not go back although we live in the neighborhood.

10/10We had a great experience there. We were 4 and wanted a nice local place where we could order a series of small portions instead of main dishes, and it was simply great.

5.5/10The place probably was great considering location and attempt with decor but not anymore . Just looks like the owner or whoever else in charge doesn’t care , and this would apply mostly to the food but also to the place . Forgotten starter not a big deal, as we were hoping for nice hearty main . Curry totally disappointing , basically hopeless liquid with few shrimps inside and bland rice , that’s all really sort of things one gets from large containers in some warehouse canteens probably . Cod just ok, nothing special and both dishes arrived unexpectedly fast meaning that not much coking went into this , but rather reheating and assembling . Place is a bit messy, toilets just not looked after ( the restaurant was half empty on busy Saturday night ). Staff attentive enough , but it almost feels like they know the pace is just not delivering . Skipped the desert to avoid any more prefabricated disappointment

10/10We really enjoyed our meal here. i had the duck leg confit and my husband had the braised pork shank. They both had tender fall off the bone meat with great flavor.

3.5/10Asked for beef pastries and got beans. Then the server said their credit card machine was down and I had to pay with cash when I just watched someone else pay with card.

4/10The food was terrible. The caesar salad was the worst i have ever had - iceberg lettuce, cold chicken, and bad salad dressing. The codfish salad was not edible. The service was even worse - ignoring us for 30 min at a time - finally had to go to the front desk to pay to leave. Rick Steves recommended this restaurant, but this was a big miss for us - never again. Do not go to this restaurant.

8/10We took veal croquets as a starter which were okay and then the beef a la cafe no chiado and the salmon filet, both were great! Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

6.5/10The service was horrible except for one female server who at least noticed when we waved for assistance. We had to flag someone down to get water and wine after we were seated. Not one server came around after our meal was served.

9.5/10The restaurant has a great ambiance, inside and at the terrace, and food to match (menu on the short side, but rather have few dishes well made than a lot not so memorable). Service was courteous, not totally prompt, but we could tell it waw busy.

7/10The dishes we ordered were undeniably delicious, with flavors that truly showcased the culinary talent of the kitchen. However, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed by the portion sizes, especially considering the prices. While I understand that this restaurant is located in the heart of Chiado, one of Lisbon’s most popular tourist areas, it seems that the balance between price and portion has tipped unfavorably. The portion sizes were noticeably smaller than expected, which left us feeling that the value for money was not quite there. I also wonder if this could be related to the restaurant’s participation in promotions on TheFork. While I appreciate the discounts, they should not come at the cost of reducing portion sizes to the point where the customer experience is compromised. I would urge the restaurant to reconsider this approach, as it risks leaving customers unsatisfied despite the excellent quality of the food. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as I would love

4.5/10The restaurant is conveniently located with a lovely dining interior and exterior terrace. However we were disappointed with the food and service. It took a while to get served and we needed to flag down a waiter to place our order. Then they never checked in on us during our meal. The Caesar salad was overdressed. The duck confit was good and well seasoned, but the presentation with the mashed potatoes was underwhelming. The veal croquettes were bland; the internal texture was like a purée and not appetizing. The accompanying rice was just ok. Compared to the other Lisbon restaurants we went to, in a similar price range, this was our least enjoyable experience.
