7/10The food was very tasty, and the view stunning. The price very fair for this kind of location and ambience. The service was unfortunately not satisfactory. I was waiting for the desert for almost 1,5 hours, and the waiter didn’t warn me in advance that it will take so long (brownie with ice cream). Also, when it started to rain, we were moving all the stuff to another table under the roof ourselves, no one came to assist us.

10/10The ambience with its light and subtle sound makes the space unique. The terrace is something to gaze upon, with a previleged view over Lisbon. Service and cuisine goes along with the ambience. Fine tuned to make your visit memorable.

10/10The crispy seared tuna starter in particular was genius, and although this is a high end restaurant, being able to pick a really impressive wine, the Invincible 2023 Douro Branco, from the lower-priced end of the list, made this a surprisingly economical fine dining experience.

10/10Booked here for Christmas Day 2024. The food was excellent as was the service. We asked for a table by the window in our booking and they got it perfect. Every time my glass was empty it was filled back up again! I fully appreciate no one probably wants to work on Christmas Day but the staff were extremely polite and courteous and they made the atmosphere. No request was too much - and being a smoker I really appreciated it when they turned on one of the heaters outside for me after service finished. Highly recommend!

+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!

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.
Café Príncipe Real • Owner

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!
