6/10This restaurant was fine - not amazing. We had dinner earlier in the week at Taverna Sal Grosso Sao Bento which was amazing food and the perfect local restaurant. This one was just fine.

7.5/10This was such a cozy spot and we had a really engaging server, but most of our meal sat in the window for quite a long time, so didn't come out particularly hot. Two of the four had the seafood risotto, and compared to other dishes we had in the area, it really had minimal seafood in it. However, we enjoyed the overall experience. We had a nice bottle of wine and the dining room is quite cozy. I would go back and try again on a less busy night and try some other dishes.

Amazing and friendly service, we got the fish stew for two, a bit expensive but still very good! The potatoes served as a side were a bit bland, but the main dish was delicious. Would definitely recommend!

5.5/10We reserved a table several weeks ago but when we arrived, no table was available and the owner wanted to seat us in a back room where there were no other diners. We refused and so we had to wait until a table was available. The wait wasn’t long but people who arrived after us without a reservation were not shown to the back room and were given better located tables than we had. Finally, the food was okay but not more than that. Would I recommend this restaurant? Definitely not.

7/10The place seemed nice with perfect location but the service was not friendly or welcoming. We were 2 ladies with just light appetite and it seemed annoying to the staff that we want only starters and some wine. If the place was full with guests send away due to lack of space I would understand it well. But it was rather empty. Food and wine were ok.

10/10I had eaten here 10 years earlier with my son. I remembered an incredible Portuguese meal with a wonderful atmosphere. My wife and I and some friends of ours, were in Lisbon this May, and I told them we had to check out this incredible restaurant that our son and I had dinner at 10 years earlier. I found the place, made a reservation, it's a good thing I did, and proceeded to get Wowed. My wife and I got the seafood stew cooked in a copper pot with some delicious local white wine. We also got a misto salad that worked well with the seafood stew. Our friends both had the chicken dish and they loved it. For dessert, we had the cheesecake. It was light and very flavorful. It's not like a New York cheesecake which is more dense. I recommend this place enthusiastically. Make sure you make reservations to make sure you have a place at the table. You will not be dissappointed.

10/10Entire meal was mucho bon, especially the chocolate mousse, which was the best I’ve ever tasted, which is saying a lot because dessert is my favorite part of any meal!

10/10An unforgetable dinner. Our tastebuds were teased by the succulant flavours of our food. Exquisit. The dessert was nothing in comparison to the apetizer & main meal.

9.5/10
It is a cozy traditional restaurant with pretty tiles on the walls. The service was very pleasant annd attentive and we were not rushed at all. The food was delicious. We tried the croquettes, and the shrimps and mussel risotto as well as the grouper. Everything was fresh and so tasty. We shared a traditional Portuguese dessert and they put a candle in it for my daughter - I had forgotten that I mentioned her birthday when I booked online so it was great they remembered. Our server was very sweet and the owner made sure all was well too. Located in the historic Alfama district which is away from the hustle and bustle Enjoy!of busier areas.

We had a dinner either 4 people st Farol de Santa Luzia. The online reservation was fast and easy. We were seated in a separate room which was completely empty and not convenient. The onsite pricelist is much higher than the online version. The food was not good, small portions, not tasteful and by far too expensive. We will never return.

Besides getting to the restaurant late, the staff was amazing and very attentive. The food is amazing, the flavours are what you're expecting from Portuguese cuisine.

3/10What a bad experience unfortunately after being seated took almost 30 min to be acknowledged finally got are Oder in so we thought asked for a starter, main dishes and a orange sofa and water… took another 15 minutes to get drinks and got a orange juice not the Portuguese orange soda soon after got the starter and one main dish at the same time wife never got her soup or anything so in the end we shared the appt and my meal when asked why we never got my wife’s meal said computer problems and seemed they could not be bothered to even get the soup or fix the problem or even did not feel like they wanted to serve us or answer very disappointing last meal in Portugal

10/10Lovely traditional Portuguese restaurant, great ingredients beautifully prepared & presented. I am a big fan of Portuguese food, no fancy sauces or additions just fresh ingredients. This restaurant did not disappoint the octopus on a bed of sweet potato mash was sublime. The house wine complimented the food and along with good service the whole experience was top drawer. I will return when I’m back in Lisbon.
