    Beautiful establishment. Service was great and the food was excellent regarding presentation, quality and quantity. A restaurant I would make plans to return to if I ever traveled to Lisbon again. Beautiful church and garden across the street overlooking the waterfront.

    felt more like a tourist trap, with underwhelming food and service. While the location was good, the overall experience did not match with the bill…

    A small intimate restaurant---and full! We had a nice table by the window, and enjoyed courteous and professional service the entire evening. Dinner was roast octopus (the best we have had in Portugal) and Alentejo-style pork tenderloin meat with clams --- amazing taste and presentation. Care and attention is everywhere here, and we were happy to be there for dinner.

    Very good food in small family restaurant. The seafood stew was excellent, and the seafood itself was very fresh. The service was a little slow as a single server, I think the owner, was working the entire restaurant. But he was very friendly, made excellent recommendations, and made the dining experience wonderful and authentic. The restaurant had mostly locals in it, making it feel less touristy than the others in the area.

    Excellent menu from which to choose and each of the courses we chose were superb. The restaurant was busy but the staff and kitchen coped well and at the end of the evening we just had to go upstairs to get back to our Airbnb.

    Our waiter was very pleasant! We had the shrimp as a starter and it was great, very flavourful. I had the risotto and my husband the pork dish, both were amazing! I would definitely go back.

    The food was so delicious and fresh. The service was spot on at the start of the meal, but as the restaurant got busier it seemed to lag. This wouldn’t stop me from going back or recommending it, however.

    We really enjoyed our meal at Farol de Santa Lucia. Probably the best meal we have had during our stay in Lisbon. Would definitely recommend but make sure you book!

    Service was incredibly overwhelmed. They simply couldn’t keep up, and got orders incorrectly, forgot to bring things, and couldn’t do more than pause for 1 second before running off to the next table.

    Definitely the best Portuguese restaurant I’ve tried in more than a decade. Absolutely delicious! From the starters to the deserts it was a blast, the tenderloin steak just melted in my mouth. If I could give 11/10 stars I would. Thank you!

    I would have never come here if it wasn’t for the yums discount I had available (particularly because of its location in a very touristy part of town where it’s hard to park). But I have to say it was a pleasant surprise. I had the octopus with sweet potato mash and it was delicious. Very tender! The portion size was ok, but could be a little more generous. The service was friendly and attentive.

    Server may have been owner, but he handled a lot of tables. Overall, service ok. Octopus Salad excellent, pork chunks and clams, great sauce. Clams excellent. Pork a little dry.

    The service was very slow. We had to wait a long time for a table (even though we had a reservation). But the waiters were very nice. In the dining area, it smelled like a toilet (chlorine). That was strange. But the food was tasty.

    Excellent food! The salted cod and grilled octopus were outstanding. Food and wine were reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
