Phenomenal food, engaging staff, and brilliant views of central Lisbon make Café Príncipe Real a must try. The leitao crocante was particularly well prepared, preserving the richness of the dish I was first introduced to during my visit to Coimbra last year. The fois gras, with the shallot and Port wine jam was also scrumptious.

We arrived just before dusk and saw the impressive view of the city while still daylight. We sat outside on the terrace and the view remained beautiful after dark. The service and dinner were excellent. Beautifully prepared and presented. Looking forward to our next visit.

It’s not the first time that the service is horrible. The food is sometimes perfect and today it was so so. I think for a 5 star hotel you should have a better service. I myself probably will come back and just take a snack and a glass off wine just because of the ambiance.

Slow service, not very attentive, hard to get attention in the restaurant. Two waiters for a long time chatting together in front of a computer in the bar area with out paying attention to the total of 4 clients in the whole restaurant On the other hand, the men in the reception are most attentive and helpful and professional

This is a hidden treasure. Delicious food, amazing view, incredible service, reasonable prices. We loved it! We had the codfish which my friend says was the best she ever tasted. I had the Turbot and it was so delicious I had to eat every bite and every drop of sauce. We had the chocolate cake with caramel popcorn for dessert. It was such a fun combination of texture and flavor! The waitstaff was so kind and attentive bringing us blankets and extra bread just to make us more comfortable.

The food was disappointing. Our shrimp dish had sand in it, and both of us had to spit it out because of the crunchiness. When the waiter asked how everything was, we mentioned it, but nothing was done to rectify or accommodate - they just said “okay.” The steak I ordered medium came out well done, while the slow-cooked beef rib was the only highlight. Overall, the food felt subpar for the price, even with the “fork” discount. We’ve been there before, and so I can easily compare as our first visit had been much better. The service was also lacking. After asking for the bill and waiting 10–15 minutes, I eventually had to go up to the bar to pay, despite five staff members being around with only a few guests in the restaurant. Given the high cost and the reputation of being one of Lisbon’s top restaurants, the experience was disappointing. Unfortunately not coming back after this experience.

Very nice cafe overlooking the city. The food was exceptional. It was a late lunch so not many people and the service was a bit slow although all the servers were very pleasant. They seemed to be training a new person. Nevertheless the food was excellent and I look forward to going back and introducing this place to my friends.

We dined on a Monday night and started with drinks on the patio with a panoramic view of the City. For dinner we moved inside and although we ate early for Lisbon (8pm) dinner was neither crowded nor hurried. They offered a discount for booking an early time. This restaurant is in a modern boutique Hotel. Excellent attentive service with reasonable price in classy surroundings. We recommend it, and will book the Hotel too next time we are in town. I recommend it-The Rey Feo.
