    Food is way over priced for the quality. I have had a much better steak for half the cost. Music was loud and not befitting the ambiance of a palacio. Waiter had not noted a number of requests and subsequently apologised saying he was too busy chatting and forgot to take note! Overall not a place I would visit again.

    Amazing place but the food is average for the price asked and the service took an eternity. I’m guessing it won’t take too long for this restaurant to close and be replaced by another

    Pretty bad valentines dinner. Overpriced, we got the table 30 minutes late, loud music and total chaos in the service. I am not going back.

    For me personally it was an utter disappointment. I knew I was paying premium for the interior but I still somehow expected that the good and service would be on the level for the price. Yet, I left hungry because the waiter didn't remember to check with me how I liked my meat and brought me lamb that still had blood in it. My partner was luckier since his food (gnocchi) was delicious but I was completely unimpressed with how it was served (they even didn't try to make it look good on the plate). The only good thing was the desert.

    Beautiful space! The food was really tasty and the service polite and attentive. We enjoyed the Executive lunch menu. We also tried the bread - served with delicious butter (both truffle & herbs) and olives, umami seasoned! Worth the visit.

    Amazing ! It always is. I just don’t enjoy the type of music played there but it’s fine. My friends make all that disappear :)

    Excellent interior design. Feel like dining in a palace. Appreciate every detail on the wall. We ordered the executive lunch. Food was above average (a little bit too salty to my taste, especially the steak sauce).

    It goes without saying that the ambiance is out of this world, they have done a modernized version of restoration, but it is tasteful and respectful (except maybe the big golden lion haha). But food wise, it was a huge surprise. I have tried the peixinhos da porta, which was lovely (but since it was my first time trying it cannot make a wise verdict), the duck leg confit however… out of this world, they have kept the flavor profile ‘simple’ and let the texture and quality of the ingredients do the talking. The meat was so tender, fell right off the bone, combined with the earthy mushrooms and perfectly cooked risotto. It’s a dish that will be hard to forget. The staff starting from the entrance up until the servers were so kind and attentive, very friendly. The whole lunch was a lovely experience, I am sad it is over.

    No gluten free bread , several wine choices not on the menu , several food choices not available, table was on an annoying bouncy floor that moved excessively every time someone walked past (seriously that needs fixed) - waited a long time for service - the tiger prawn risotto was terrific , as was the tuna loin. Could have been an amazing experience but wasn’t.

    Very central (Chiado), superb building, a little kitsch but that is the whole point. Service is very professional and the food is well-worked. This is the kind of places you don't go every day but it worth a visit if you want to spend a nice moment around a table. Expensive though.

    Absolutely wonderful experience dining at this very special place. The decor is outstanding and the ambience very welcoming. All the staff were so pleasant and attentive as well as polite and the food was exceptional! I couldn’t say a single negative thing. Try this place.. you won’t be disappointed and the cost was extremely reasonable for the quality of the food and the venue. Thank you Palacio Chiado.. I can’t recommend you enough !

    The food was average, very average. The service poor, beginner level. Management is exclusively focused on controlling costs, with customer satisfaction a distant second. Their wine offering by the glass borderline vinegar, we tried several, alerted management, who second guessed the guests. I wrote a complaint on the book of complaints that was dismissed. What a terrible waste of a magnificent venue.
