Favourite restaurant in Lisbon. The ambience is a travel back in time… service is attentive to details as it should in a luxury establishment. Really respectful and approachable staff members. Highly recommended for lunch, dinner dates. Oh and I almost forgot to mention the food is delicious.

Staff were attentive enough, but I can’t believe how this place has such high ratings. The food was certainly nothing outstanding, at best average. No atmosphere at all. We were rewarded for our celebration with a cake which was a nice touch. But the whole experience was distinctly below average, and pricey too!

The food and service at Pabe were absolutely phenomenal. The servers were lovely, very helpful, and kind! The food was incredible, we had the ceviche, octopus salad, grilled sirloin Portuguese style, pork belly, and the crème brûlée. Stand outs would be the ceviche as the sirloin as well as the crème brulee! There were only 2 other tables when we dined so there wasn’t much of an atmosphere but the food and service were so good, we would absolutely come back!

I had high expectations, but the incredible team a Pabe exceeded them in every way. The ceviche and the house dessert were world-class dishes that I give the strongest recommendation for every diner.

Very old school style and decor. Food was well presented and good albeit a little too salty for my taste. We also found it overpriced compared to the many other restaurants we tried in our past two weeks in Portugal.

Five couples from the US dined at this restaurant, and we all thought the food and the service was excellent. The wine was “bottomless” and the châteaubriand was tasty. The ambience was cozy and welcoming and the wait staff were all attentive and responsive. It was a much more expensive meal than we had been eating in our trip so far and it was our understanding that you really don’t tip in European restaurants, so we were surprised when they requested a 10% cash tip from us, and said it was customary. My daughter-in-law is Portuguese, and was very surprised by that and said that it is not customary so we weren’t sure if it was just because we were from the US. That aside, we had a lovely evening!

I like the setting. It's quiet and comfortable inside. The service was not hyper-attentive but generally prompt. The food was good, although there was one surprise. I thought with all the tableside trolleys for pouring wine, serving bread, etc., that surely the fairly dear Caesar salad would be prepared tableside, but I was disappointed when it appeared out of the kitchen with the same lackluster heavy dressing and heavy parmesan sprinkles that I find in any American restaurant. Other than that, drinks were great and served in classic rocks glasses. A good meal all around, but I was expecting a little more on the Caesar salad.

I’ve been visiting Pabe for many years. I can say that the restaurant is extremely consistent. Quality is always there, and so is the friendly service. For those who enjoy traditional Portuguese food, I definitely recommend this one.

I loved the amviente we really got the worth of our money and it was worth every penny the fish dishes tasted fresh and I loved the Cosy Ambiente. It's really like you're transferred back to medieval times! Would like to go there again to taste the dishes again...

We had an excellent evening dinner. The place is reminiscent of our British old pub with class and warmth. The service is of a professional high class French restaurant and the food refined. Highly recommended.

For a nice and expensive dinner out this is a great place. Looks like an english pub inside. Service was great and the food was good. I really enjoyed the scallop, mushroom and asparagus appetizer. The gave us little tasters of some sort of meat and interesting desserts to taste. They were out of GF bread but sometimes have it.

Pabe is an old school restaurant which means from the ambience, service, cutlery and the menu items carry the tradition with decency. The food is delicious and with a wide variety. We are lucky to have a good meal on our first day in Lisboa.

Horrible service - don’t waste your time. They clearly are indifferent to tourists and kept trying to suggest the priciest items on the menu. The order was ultimately wrong and the head waiter ignored us for 30 minutes. By the time the order was rectified everyone’s food was cold and inedible. Truly bad experience - the worst from our entires trip through Spain and all of Portugal.
