The atmosphere was great, the service was top-notch, and the food exceeded our expectations. A special shout-out to our waiter, Yuriy, who truly won our hearts — he was kind, attentive, and made our evening unforgettable. Highly recommend!

+1Nice, informal Mexican/Meat specialized eatery. My first experience with contrabando was in their other restaurant in the 24 Julho Avenue in the southernmost Lisbon area. Contrabando Saldanha keeps the same vibes as the latter, although maybe not as stylish. The food offering is the same. I chose the BBQ Ribs as it was suggested and was mildly pleased by the serving size (includes fries) and the meat's tenderness (it comes straight of the bone, flake-like). The White Chocolate Coulant is a light flavoured, soft dessert that lacks the more intense flavours of some of the other options on the menu but may provide a good option for anyone searching for anything new. All in all, Contrabando is a solid option for a good, informal dine-out experience, with a nice staff.

3.5/10Terrible food, better off eating at fast food restaurants. Burrito was mostly rice and the three tacos were tiny. Was still hungry after. The restaurant also did not honor their discount via The Fork. You can find better places to eat in Lisbon — skip this one.

5/10Definitely a drinks and fun place vs quiet dinner. Staff are friendly but had the chase them around to get served and order more. The place was packed with loud groups of friends having cocktails and it was as a Wednesday. More a party atmosphere. Also quite small portions for the price.

6/10Nice welcome. Service slipped à bit during our meal, discount applied only after I queried the bill. We had the entrecôte, very tasty but a bit tough, chips could have done with a bit longer in the fryer but were just OK. The lemon meringue pie was not fresh. I'm glad we didn't pay full price.

4.5/10This is my second time here, it hasn't been very long, but the restaurant is not as good as before. The meat is overcooked, and the service has deteriorated.
