This was an an amazing restaurant. The food was incredible, the staff were friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We were made to feel very welcome in a restaurant full of Portuguese locals. I would highly recommend this place. We will be back

We honestly didn’t care for the food. It didn’t taste as fresh as expected. The codfish was dry, the partridge a bit tough.

Congenial atmosphere with a mostly local crowd. It was busy and it took a while to be served, but the wine choices were good and the clams very tasty. Nice choices of seafood and fish; overall a good quality Portuguese restaurant.

Mediocre food, and an insulting service attitude. We ordered some belota and were told that they had run out, only to see an hour later a local patron order it, and got it served immediately. Totally inappropriate. Avoid this establishment!

Excellent food & service. All of our choices were tasty. Traditional Portuguese food. Fresh fish in the window. Excellent steak. Extremely pleasant waiter who even let us know we were ordering too much food. Only downside were smokers to right and left of us at outside table. Definitely would go back but would sit inside.

Third visit here and still my favorite repeat restaurant in Lisbon. We had a combo of the Stone Bass and Turbot, both grilled simply and served with vegetables. Exquisite. The ambiance is wonderful the service is super friendly, excellent value for money. Love this place.

Pateo 51 is one of my favorite restaurants in Lisbon. The fish is always fresh and well prepared. The meats are cooked as desired by the customer, and they have one of the best rice puddings (although it is not truly rice pudding) desserts I have had in Portugal. In addition, the food is reasonably priced, and the waiters are experienced in suggesting a wine based on the drinker's desire. Pateo 51 is a must for those visiting Lisbon.

Our original waiter was awful and rude. Fish was not deboned so it made it inedible!

we arrived very underdressed. Consider this very upscale. Food was decent but I think we could have made better choices. excellent wine menu. The best part of the experience was our very kind and attentive server.
