    If you want a "Francesinha", this is not your place.

    It was a very cheerful ambience, staff was great and extremely friendly. Francesinhas are a must at this dinner.

    The staff was very nice but I don't think the food was good enough for the price they sell it for.

    After flying into Lisbon that morning on an overnight flight, we were jet-lagged and weary and were looking for a friendly spot for a good meal and a bottle of wine. Dote fit the bill very nicely. A bonus for us was that there were English subtitles on the menu. Had the tiger shrimp with lime rice which was delicious. We left very happy.

    The woman with dark hair who worked there i think she was making sure of the reservations and tables was unbelievable rude and dissapointing. She was really making our mood down. Terrible service. Is the 3rd time i go there she is unbelievable rude at welcoming guest. Will not come back. Its a shame because food is good.

    Air Conditioner was not working and service, sometimes, was slow. The food was quite good, and the price is fair for what you get. Would recommend the restaurant.

    This restaurant is known for its Francesinha, but I ordered something else, and was very disappointed. Next time I'd definitely choose the Francesinha and nothing else. Service was nice and friendly ☺️

    Food is good and service is quick and efficient. One point to improve, there is a smell of food in the room that stays on clothes, maybe kitchen exhaustion problem.

    Distracted staff not bringing what was required and having to be challenged more than once. Apart from that, the food was good as the environment.

    Food is ok but not great. Potato skins for starters were cold and mushy. Staff is friendly and space is neat and clean.

    This restaurant was recommended by the front desk staff at our hotel. The food was excellent, the prices reasonable, and our server Monica went above and beyond, telling us which bus to take to Alfama and putting on Fado music. Lovely evening.

    I love this place and some of their dishes, been there a few times already and for sure I'm going to go there again. The only thing I would ask is for more gluten-free/celiac dessert options since beside mango and something else there was nothing that I could eat for dessert.

    Barbecue ribs were some of the best I’ve had in Portugal. The chicken soup is made with normal rice and was a bit too salty. I didn’t like the execution but the flavor was there.
