    Food was good & excellent value with The Fork discount. Service friendly - definitely better than some of the overpriced tourist restaurants

    Good food, friendly service and a very nice ambience in the heart of Lisbon. Our favourite place for outdoor lunch during summer. Inside seating during cold months is cosy.

    Neighborhood gem-like restaurant with cozy ambiance. Small but curated menu including Portuguese classics. The service was very spotty the night we were there (for our table only, it seemed), although the restaurant did comp our dessert and coffee without our requesting or complaining.

    Great food, good service. Normally it is quite expensive, but with Fork discount , it is really worth it. We have been there a few time, and the food was always good.

    This was a fantastic, off the main area, restaurant that our hotel suggested. It was quiet, impeccably clean, easy to find and the service was excellent. My husband had the cod fish dinner, I had the oxtail. Both were amazing. We were really happy with our dinner choice!!

    Overall, the restaurant was nice. However, my friend ordered the octopus and got a quite bad foodpoisoning.

    We had a fantastic lunch at Café no Chiado! The beef was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The service was excellent—attentive and friendly—and the cozy ambiance made the experience even better. A true five-star meal. I’ll definitely be back!

    This is a cosy restaurant in the colder months and a great place for al fresco dining in the warmer months. The food is consistently good as is the service.

    The food was very flavorful and well presented. Tender octopus and the duck confit was delicious. Would recommend, especially with the 50% off through she Fork.

    We 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 .

    Loved 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.

    Location 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.

    We 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.

    5.5/10

    The 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
