    Had a very pleasant dinner at Delfina Cantina. We started with the Baked Goat Cheese Brick Pastry, which was excellent – nicely balanced flavours with a crisp pastry and creamy filling. For mains, the Delfina’s Codfish “À Brás” was the highlight of the evening, very well executed and full of flavour. The Iberian pork cheeks were decent but not as memorable as the cod. The green wine paired beautifully with the meal and was very refreshing. The restaurant has a lovely vibe with stylish decor, friendly staff, and overall very good service. Prices felt reasonable for the quality (discount through Fork booking) and location. A great spot in Lisbon for a relaxed Portuguese dinner.

    Nice place with good quality food. I would have liked to have a wider single table though. What I did not like was that the waiter added a 10 percent tip to the final price, as it is customary in the US. Btw, this was not only in my case, as I noted the same happened to a family next to my table.

    For a starter, we ordered the samosas which were two bite-sized pieces of phyllo stuffed with goat cheese for 9€. We ordered the robalo with clams served over a pile of açorda, a mushy bread base. The clams were tiny, as were the pieces of fish. That, with two glasses of average wine, and our bill came to over 50€, and that was with a 30% discount. Service was friendly but slow, as there was only one server to manage 6 tables. The restaurant automatically adds a 10% service charge to the bill. Highly unlikely that we will return.

    We certainly enjoyed our meal here last night. Everything was delicious- fried cuttlefish, codfish (Delfina- with mayo and spinach!), tuna steak with greens and sweet potatoes, and recommended white wine. Glad we had reservations!

    Lovely interior and place settings. Unfortuntely, we were there for lunch, which took more than an hour to serve us an appetizer from their set menu, then another 1/2 hour to receive our main course. the coffee came quickly tho! Quite pricey for the lunch, be prepared to spend around €30+ pp for lunch.

    Overall a nice experience. The service was surely the best part as the waitress was friendly and helped us pick the dishes and wine to go with it. The starter and dessert were great but the mains didn't hold the same standard, so a good culinary experience but not the best.

    Very disappointing. The waiter was incredibly nice but very overworked. It took 40 minutes until we got our starters, and even longer before we got our drinks. Our 3 starters were eaten up at least 15 min before we got the 1 juice, 1 mojito and 1 glass of wine. The strawberry mojito was so bad we had to send it back, and then it was almost 20 min until the new one came. The food was not hot when we got it. We could see the food and the drinks standing on the counter for 5 min until it was delivered to our table. I would really not recommend this place. The good things were the waiter, and the tiramisu. But the overall wait and quality of food was not worth the money. Save your time, energy and money by going somewhere else. For the restaurant: please don’t overwork your staff. Out of the people we saw working there, only one did a good job. Don’t let 1 person carry the weight of a complete restaurant staff.

    The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff were helpful to us as visitors to Lisbon. We were trying Portuguese dishes. I had the codfish - chef style, and it was delicious. My husband had the sea bass in a tasty broth. Desserts were spot on. We had red summer sangria which was perfect for the summer evening. The prices were extremely reasonable, especially for the quality that we had. Highly recommend this place.
