    Truly a hidden...yes hidden gem. off the main street, but wonderful views from inside and outside. Staff was very knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and kind. The food far exceeded our expectations...creative, well presented, great flavors and surprisingly well priced. Worth going for a special occasion or just a reliable great night out.

    8.5/10

    Stunning 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 RealOwner

    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

    Lovely but not low calorie. Lots of butter etc. but delish. Beautiful view. Very adult.

    Risoto 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!

    The ambiance was perfect. There was a dj and the volume was just right...you didn't need to yell to hear one another. The servers were amazing! Wonderful and friendly and just very on point. And then the food...amazing. My husband had the French onion soup and was super happy with it. All the courses were great! Definitely will go back!

    6.5/10

    Unfortunately 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.

    We had a beautiful evening, great service and atmosphere and delicious food and wine. The staff knew it was my birthday, so they had a little cake for me, which I didn't expect and was so cute and lovely. There is nothing I could criticize, I had a great birthday night.

    It was a very busy evening and the service was pushed to the limit BUT they still tried hard and were really pleasant, which is the main thing, The food was superb especially the tuna tartare and the wine list good value for a fashionable restaurant. Special praise to the front of house manageress whose name I sadly did not get but she is very good at the job. Also good live DJ music. And my Vesper Martini was one of the best ever.

    Café Príncipe RealOwner

    A place with a great view of the city, especially from the terrace. On the day we were there for lunch the staff were warm and welcoming, as well as efficient. Food was very good and beautifully presented. Price was not unreasonable for food of that quality served in such a beautiful location.

    The dining room ambiance is lovely at night, candlelight and flowers on every table, lovely views of the City below and past the pool. The food is a simpler and more inventive take on traditional Portuguese dishes. Wonderful service.
