10/10Wow, where to begin? This is not only a stunning restaurant with beautiful candlelit tables and a gorgeous terrace (with open kitchen - fun to watch the Chefs work their magic!) but it also is quite possible THE tastiest restaurant in Lisbon too. Such a great location as well. We came with a party of 10, sat on the terrace and we were not disappointed. The food is a delicious contemporary Portuguese perspective expertly prepared and the cocktails are inspired. I never thought I’d rave about cabbage - but lord-a-mercy this was so good! Loved the Cataplana, the steak prego, the charcoal grilled sweet potato was a masterpiece in itself — in fact EVERY single dish was interesting and en pointe. We will be back! Mucho obrigada!

6.5/10
Place looks amazing and the stuff we’re nice. The food was not tasty and the stuff didn’t asked us if we liked it after not eating half of the food. The crispy chicken was dry, the lamb had a too strong uneatable souce, the tempura vegetables was the only good dish from what we ordered (it was very good)

10/10The restaurant had a super cool vibe. It was cozy without being old fashioned. George was our waiter and pulled a stool up to our table to discuss the menu and order with was such a nice touch. Food was amazing and before dessert the chef came out to chat and recommend a dessert. It was also amazing, his own creation of cucumber over sorbet with meringue pieces on top. So refreshing and delicious. Great dinner and experience. Highly recommend!

10/10Run, don’t walk to this dream of a restaurant! Sit at the counter and watch Chef David & team make food that is inspired, simple and yet multi-layered, rigorous and playful. They do it all with tremendous passion for hospitality and respect for Portuguese roots - all with a bold modern kick. Thank you David, Carlos, shy Argentinian sous-chef, enchanting Lara and Junior for an unforgettable night!

very good location, close to Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara, food portion are very small, but it tastes well, not typical Portuguese food, but more fusion with its own creativity. Service is great! 50 euros will be good to enjoy the meal for one person

10/10Inventive and creative dishes based on the beautiful resources in Portugal. Blown away by the flavors and incredible combinations of ingredients. , Fun, elegant, relaxed interior. Warm and knowledgeable service. Had a blast, and those flavors will linger in my memories for a while, admiring the creative fresh energy in Portugal. Well done.

Lovely location and the service was exceptional. Food was quite good - more 4.25-4.5 than 5 but also not over priced.

10/10Gandaia really caters to Portuguese dishes, brands or labels, which we really enjoyed. We tried to immerse ourselves in the culture during our stay. This place was recommended to us, and it did not disappoint! After dinner, we walked across the street to a lovely evening view the castle. If you are looking for away from the tourist trap restaurants, then I recommend Gandaia.
