5/10From the moment I placed my order,I specifically asked about gluten and dairy in the dishes.There were 2 soups on the menu:creme de marisco and fish soup.I asked if they contained flour,as I know that these types of soups sometimes do.They told me that I couldn’t have the creme de marisco,but the fish soup was gluten-free and safe for me to order(confirmed it with the kitchen).When I received my soup(€12 for a ridiculously tiny portion of 100ml),I immediately noticed that it contained cotovelo—which are made from wheat flour!So,clearly, it was not gluten-free.The worst part wasn’t even the portion size,but the total disregard for food allergies.The waiter simply shrugged and said,“Oh, sorry,”without any real understanding of how serious this situation could be.It’s unbelievable that a restaurant with years of experience has no basic knowledge of allergens and doesn’t even list them properly on the menu.On top of that,the service was cold an unwelcoming. And the way they handled the sit

10/10Everything from the service to the food to the view was fantastic. Probably the best fish (grouper) I ever had.

2.5/10Bread is brought to the table initially and not explained that it comes at an extra cost. No tap water is served so obligated to buy a bottle of water. Service is bad if you do not order from the wine menu or at least this is the impression we got. A table that entered after us was served both starters and mains well before us (over 30 mins). So long such that the hot plates that the hot plates we where brought were now cold. We ordered soup that was never added to the order, knowing this fact the server did not ask if we even wanted the soup. Then we were ignored for the rest of the evening needing to ask for everything without any attention from the servers. Would not recommend definitely a tourist trap after your money.

4.5/10Lovely welcome but then no one attended to me or offered me drink for 15 minutes or more. I even had to ask for a wine list, somewhat misogynistic I felt. When I tried to order they had run out of Oysters. Brown Barnicles & slipper lobster starters are both pre-order. The prawns were, at best, average. There was a party of 36 & it seemed that the serving staff prioritised them, rather than individual tables. That said, the sunset was beautiful. But I won’t be going back.

10/10
This restaurant ticked all the boxes: a marvelous view over the river, a great assortment of fish dishes, and an excellent service. We sat outside, we had fresh oysters for starters, and we shared muscles with the ‘Spanish tomato sauce’, along with some deep fried squid, French fries and a jar of white sangria. The food was incredibly tasty. As soon as we were getting cold, the waiters offered us some warm blankets, which made us feel extra comfortable sitting outside. This place is a hidden gem and I would definitely come back to impress my colleagues, friends and family.

6/10The fish was nice but the vegetables were over cooked and had lost their firmness. Compared to the other restaurants we ate at in Lisbon I found this one disappointing, sorry to say.

5.5/10The restaurant had a corporate feel to it and our waiter seemed rushed off his feet, even though the restaurant itself was not busy. Enough said.

5.5/10The fish just wasn’t that good, disappointing, even if it was cheap it would be. They use nice fish but honestly, in my opinion and the opinion of the people I was with, it was bland and not well made.
Monte Mar - Lisboa • Owner
Dear Daniel Daun Thank you for taking the time to rate our fish. Criticisms that are not so good are always constructive, so we hope to meet your expectations at the next opportunity. Best regards Monte Mar Lisboa Team
