    If you want to taste good food and relax, try Cantina do Barrio Alto! And Rejina, the girl of staff, is very kind.

    We went to the Cantina and were simply in love with Rose's service, as well as the quality and abundance of the food! I recommend it with my eyes closed!!

    A very warm welcome from Rose and all the staff were very friendly. Good size tapas portions. We had sardines in tom sauce, small fishes, veal croquettes, pots in brava sauce and a basket of bread. House Red was good too 🍷

    Very friendly staff, but unfortunately really disappointing food and small portions. Nice ambience but some of the worst Portuguese food in the area.

    The food was OK but one cannot consider this Portuguese food. Amêijoas à Bulhão Pato didn't taste like the original recipe at all. The Polvo grelhado tasted like Asian food. Both deserts chocolate mousse and Baba de Camelo were OK but why add gelatin?! We weren't expecting this taste at a traditional Portuguese restaurant. Tourist focus maybe? We are Portuguese and I must tell you that what we ate is not genuine. And we are talking about simple food, how wrong can one be by cooking it. Also we got only 30% instead of 50% off.

    Food was great, sangria was good, atmosphere was nice. Good playlist. The flickering lights were sometimes a bit much. Service was mostly very good but the one server seemed to be stretched thin at times and we waited a long time for our bill as a result. Overall would recommend and would revisit.

    Sad we made this choice. Service was awkward. Food tasted bland, dishes were basic and of mediocre quality. We shared a seafood rice dish and some small plates for 60€. Have had many other better meals in Lisbon for the same price.

    The food is still of great value although this time, the gravy on my steak was just a bit too sour and wasn’t complimenting the steak well.

    The place is quaint really has that Cantina vibe. The food and suggestions from the staff? Superb! I got the bang for my buck! Steak was tasty and appropriately paired with the right side dishes.

    Staff were very pleasant, food was nice but wouldn’t say it was amazing. Reasonably priced though so that’s good. House wine was nice.
