Chanfana was excellent!
5.5
Octopus starter was nice, fish croquettes rather boring and with little flavour. Main course: goat was tasty but rather greasy; partridge bone dry with no taste at all with very salty risotto and no vegetable in sight. Cheese for desert: apparently Portugal is not really a cheese country — bland cheeses. And then we paid more than 100 euros for what’s supposed to be “authentic Portuguese food”. Not a very happy experience, I’m sorry to say.
No TachoDear M. Veenstra, First of all, you had the opportunity to share your opinion with our staff, and you did say everything was good at all times. The old goat is a fattier animal by nature. If there is a dish closest to your idea of an "authentic" utopia, Chanfana would be the only one on our menu. The partridge is hunted, not farmed. It is called game meat and is dry by nature. Its recipe is full of aromatics, so being flavourless is impossible. What adds flavour to the rice is what the partridge is cooked with for four hours—not salt. And it is a rice dish, not a risotto. We are certainly not an Italian restaurant. And yes, there is no vegetable in sight because it's not part of the recipe—simple as that. The cheeses you were lucky to try at our restaurant were all medalled at the World Cheese Awards, they might know a thing or two about cheese. We do not advertise our food as "authentic Portuguese." The name of the restaurant literally says "Portuguese cuisine," which is not the same thing. Anyway...........

What we especially loved was the goat stew. Definitely try that.

We enjoyed dinner this week at No Tacho! based upon a recommendation. We had completed a 10 day tour of Portugal and this was our last night in Lisbon. This was a treat to enjoy such a delicious presentation of food delights. The octopus salad as an app is simple, yet just the right balance of flavors...we've had a similar dish-but this was clearly the best! We ordered the chef recommendation for the day - pork neck, sweet potatoes....wow! I wasn't expecting such a plate of tender of pork with flavors! I certainly would return again! Very well done-Cheers!

We had a wonderful dinner at No Tacho. The croaker and the goat chanfana main courses were especially good, and we enjoyed everything else. This is a small restaurant that was very busy on a Sunday evening, so booking is advised.

It was okay, the fish was a special and not to our taste, the salad over salted. Needed to chase up wine menu. Great start at meal but didn’t hit for me.
