    There is a side of me that wants to write a review discouraging others to visit this restaurant so that we can keep it our Lisbon secret but that would be disrespectful to the most charming chef/owner we have ever met. Do not miss the opportunity to taste fabulous burrata, scrumptious garlic shrimp and a beef stroganoff that was simply perfect. You can sit inside or outside… as it was a warm evening in October we chose outside which made it definitely more enjoyable. The service is a perfect team working in harmony. You must have a reservation… we watched many hopeful diners be turned away. A lovely evening that we will remember forever.

    Followed recommendation from another fellow traveller. Friendly warm welcome. Nice cocktail selection and wine selection. Starters and main courses were excellent with an unusual Asian and Brazilian twist. Desserts looked amazing. Leave room but we couldn’t. Will definitely return the next time we’re in Lisbon.

    This place is a hidden gem! We have dined in many U.S. 5-star restaurants, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Canada, and numerous times in Dubai. Pastanada is in the top 5 restaurants in which we have dined. Will was our primary server. The owner/chef whose name, unfortunately, we did not get checked in on all tables multiple times. She was both humble and gracious besides being an excellent chef and proprietor of Pastanada. The ambience was perfect for couples. The food was amazing. My wife had the Bacalhau and I had the Duck Rice. The flavors and the presentation rivaled any Michelin restaurant you could name. Several of the desserts were made to order. We got the Red Berry Pie with ice cream. It was worth the wait! The meal portions were appropriate to suit. The wine list,while not extensive, were Portuguese wines and paired perfectly with the entrees offered. We had one of the best dining experiences ever staying over 3 hours. We were not hurried by a restaurant trying to turn tables.

    The food was unique and excellent. We loved every bite. From good wine / cocktail and interesting mini aubergines to carrot soup to our flavorful fish and rice main and “adult” ice cream, we were delighted with all of it. The restaurant has an intimate, lovey ambiance. We were so glad we discovered it.

    This was the most memorable experience in Portugal. The atmosphere is warm and homey. The servers - especially Will - were attentive and friendly with great knowledge of the wines and menu. And tithe chef, Ana, is a dear woman who welcomes her visitors with stories and affection. The food and drink were absolutely the best we had in Portugal. What a lovely and memorable experience!

  • Serob A.2 reviews

    July 7, 2025

    7/10

    The price to atmosphere/quality ratio is not correct. Also the rating on GM. They need to do something about that dirty back alley with clothes hanging overhead the tables, increase the portion sizes and work on dishes themselves - they felt like indian food arrenged in a silly little tower. The service was good and the taste and freshness of the food were also good. But overall andisappointment.

    PastanagaOwner

    Dear Serob, I'm so sorry you weren't able to perceive and cherish our culture. I'm proud of this street!! Its people, its customs... 'Fishermen's Street'... It was a poor street, where the fishermen lived... I sincerely hope the clothes continue to hang in the windows, that the locals don't leave... That the atmosphere of this street lasts forever!!! That's exactly why I chose to have the restaurant here!! Ana Borba
