    We made the reservation because it was close to our hotel and we were tired of walking all day. Serendipity ruled. Our server Paolo greeted me at the door by name. It wasn’t busy - our res was late in the evening. We ended up with maybe our best dining experience in Lisbon. Sea bass perfect. Steak perfect. But the cod fritters we. had for an app? God like. Or maybe cod like? Both. I could eat 30. The wine selection was not extensive but covered all the bases and Paulo knew what worked. Shockingly good.

    What a lovely evening! Everyone working there was so kind and helpful. The food was delicious! Drinks were well priced and sized. The menu had a nice selection, including plenty of vegetable options for our vegetarian dinner guest. It was a beautiful evening and we would love to return sometime soon.

    This is the restaurant of the boutique Hotel Lisboa Carmo. We were welcomed by Ms. Ines, who was very friendly and professional while we chose our dishes. We had mushroom risotto, Carmo Hamburger and Posta Mirandesa. All three dishes were wonderfully prepared with a Portuguese touch to them. We then had Torta Laranja, Baba Camelo and Arroz Doce, three very nice Portuguese deserts. Everything was really nice. Thank you so much.

    It was a Fado night and music and setting was wonderful. Totally stunning. Paulo was very welcoming and so as staff generally were very nice and helpful. Food is at good quality but wine was very so so even at a higher end price in Lisbon. Our miss for didn’t check the payment in detail, only found later that we got charge with an extra bottle of water we didn’t order. Anyhow it was a nice evening and we would love to visit again.

    Excellent service from the moment we arrived. Tamara was a wonderful hostess and I don’t think k that anyone on the whole city of Lisbon works as hard as Paulo. The four was very good, but the rice pudding was the best I have ever had , so definitely save room for dessert. The ambiance was amazing! We had such a lovely evening.
