10/10+5It’s a hidden gem in a hideaway location with spectacular view. The food are always up to satisfactory standard and nothing to complaint. It’s a perfect venue for lunch, dinner or just a relax cocktail watching sunset. My must visit restaurant every time I travel in Lisbon.

7/10This is a restaurant in a hotel with a beautiful view! It was tricky to find as you have to follow signs on the street to the hotel down an alley. The food was okay, but the view was worth the visit.

10/10Our server, Margarita, was so pleasant, friendly and helpful that this added to the overall wonderful experience. Each dish was incredible and our best meal in Lisbon! I highly recommend the restaurant and you don't need to be staying at the hotel to go here...so worth the trip! Also, the views of the city are great too!

8/10We typically like this place and have been multiple times with friends visiting from our of town. Great food, nice vibe. But last night was disappointing. We booked yestetday at 3pm and we even called them at 3:30 to adjust and confirm the booking. When we arrived on time for our reservation, the host said she cancelled the booking because we didn't answer the phone at 6pm when she called to confirm. The booking was still showing as live in The Fork and we had no voicemails or emails, but they had given our table away. Rather than apologise, the host blamed me for not answering my phone during my nap at 6pm despite the fact I had already confirmed and had a confirmation email and the reservation showing as live in the app. It took far too much conversation to have them reluctantly apologise and find us a table (30 minutes after our reserved time). When the bill came, it was missing the 30% off discount we had booked in The Fort app. Good food, but just bad customer service.

8.5/10Stunning view in a very fancy location. Food is good but portions a bit small considering prices. Service might be a bit more attentive and proactive. Suggested tip of 11% is not very common in Portugal and not very polite. It would be nice if the Dj would actually create some dynamic and not just playing in background.
Café Príncipe Real • Owner
Dear Ms, Sonia Lia, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the location and our food quality. Kindly note that our suggestion tip is 5% but it is always optional. Every client can opt for it depending on their experience. Your input regarding the DJ is noted, however since we are located in a 5-star boutique hotel we have to preserve a calm and serene ambiance. We appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back soon. With our best regards, Inês Cardoso - Equipa Café Príncipe Real

8/10Risoto de sapateira com cascas perdidas pelo meio. Pedi para avisarem a cozinha da situação. Quando fiz o pagamento perguntei se a cozinha tinha sido avisada disso, dado que não me tinham dado feedback nenhum e só aí é que o chef mandou pedir desculpas. Update: posteriormente fui contactado pelo restaurante, o que demonstra, de facto, uma sincera preocupação com os clientes. Fiquei grato!

6.5/10Unfortunately disappointing considering the prices. The Tuna Tartare was really good but the shrimp not well cleaned and sandy. The service already came with the main course when we were still having the starter, so I guess they kept it warm for 10-15 minutes which was neither good for the braised tuna nor for the lamb chops. Service started slacking when more guests came despite the restaurant being only one third full. Espresso macchiato was actually an Espresso with a dash of cold milk. Despite the nice place and good starter, not a place I would return to.
Café Príncipe Real • Owner
Dear Ms. Annett Burger, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your visit. We appreciate your positive remarks about the Tuna Tartare but regret the shortcomings with the service. Your insights are valuable and we will address these concerns with our team. We hope you might consider giving us another chance to provide a better experience. With our best regards, Filipa de Mello Sampaio - Café Príncipe Real
