    Chapitô is always a great choice. I’ve been coming here for years, but The Fork app doesn’t work well at all. It only gave me two possible times for today’s reservations, and when I requested to change the 12:30 slot to 13:30, the response from the restaurant was written in text so small that the receptionist didn’t see it and marked me as a no-show. When I arrived at 13:30 as confirmed, she wasn’t expecting us. This is the Fork’s fault. It is not user friendly and I prefer to call the restaurant and make reservations the old fashioned way on the phone.

    The environment is amazing and the service is very friendly but it took us almost 2 hours to get the whole meal served. The food was really nice we had bacalhau and we had the steak on the bread (that was a bit dry) and at the desert we got farofias and sweet rice that was a bit original but not the best we ever had. it has a very nice view of the city but we did not got a good table and we were very far from the view

    I brought some out-of-town guests who had never been to Lisbon who were worked in the food business travelling around the world. They had loved everything we ordered here!

    Amazing views all over Lisbon, friendly staff, nice wine and food. Bar downstairs also but we didn’t go to it. We ate starters of tuna sashimi, meat croquettes and something else, then main of beef rib, tuna with peppercorn sauce. All lovely

    The restaurant has a very nice view and also the ambient is very romantic in you are in the terrace. The dishes are very tasty and well cooked. We tried the new dishes from the chef Alexander Botelho, who’s coming from Masterchef, they were really good and we also spoke with him, he’s a good chef with a strong energy and his plates represent a lot him.

    Lovely hidden away space, both downstairs in the terrace area and upstairs in the restaurant where we sat. We dined early and so managed to get a great table with beautiful views over the city for sunset, which we'd highly recommend. The food was high quality and very tasty, especially the mushroom acorda and service was prompt and friendly. Would love to go again, would be great with a group.

    Wonderful service by all the staff. Good was outstanding and the views are spectacular upstairs. (You will need to climb a very narrow spiral staircase) The hostess was very helpful and even arranged a cab to get us back to our hotel…dark narrow roads are not my thing to walk at night.

    A quirky venue situated just under the impressive walls of Castelo de São Jorge we had a table with a view to die for with a river and city panorama. Food and drinks were excellent as was the friendly service. In the glass entrance / lobby there are tempting local crafts for sale adding to the whole ambience. Great fun.

    The location of Chapito a Mesa is perfect with views over Lisbon's rooftops and to the water beyond. The service by the waitstaff was very good and attentive. The food quality was also very good and in many cases quite creative. My only minor complaint was that the night we were there (celebrating my 70th birthday) one of the two menu items that were not available was the rib eye steak. With the exception of beef cheeks, there was no other beef item on the menu with the steak not available. And yes, Lisbon is noted for its seafood (and that's what we ordered), but a steak item is such a basic selection on any restaurant's menu. Must have been a supply company issue. Other than that, it was a nice night.

    Wonderful friendly service, Martha was an amazing, and some of the best food we had in Lisbon. More expensive than most of the options but worth it. The Ahi au Poivre in particular was incredible.

    What a beautiful 3 story restaurant tucked in by the castle. The views of the river & bridge are phenomenal, but the food was amazing as well! Don’t skip on the rice pudding dessert, OMG 🤤

    Amazing views and service was great but so let down by the food. We booked a table upstairs which suggested it was a level above the other restaurant but Vegetarian with us had to have salad and chips as that was only option; the tuna was just drowned in sauce with chips added in. Only the Guinea fowl seemed worth it. We mentioned we had a special birthday both on the booking and on the night and all that was offered was a candle in one of the puddings that another of the group had ordered! Very disappointed

    Visited many times over the years usually with visitors to Lisbon. Always a hit with our guests. Not this time. The whole feel has changed. No warm atmosphere. Not enough staff and mistakes made. Food still good but doesn’t make up for the rest. It’s a shame. Will not return. Better alternatives.

    We had a reservation upstairs but opted for the terrace restaurant as the menu seemed to be a better fit for our kids. We had been sitting down for 20’ when they told us only 3 of the 8 mains were available that night. Service was very slow and food was overpriced. The main dish took more than 1h to arrive and was terrible. Disappointing experience.

    the service was slow. it took them too long to serve our food. the starter was a plate with tomatoes that were over matured. the main dishes (meat) were not bad, but not cooked at the write point. the only thing that we enjoyed was the view from the window (something that we had asked with our reservation ).
