    Had the loveliest evening dining at Porter Bistro. The French onion soup is not to be missed. Our server Elena was a joy.

    Porter Bistro was recommended to us and was a great choice for our first dinner in Lisbon. The food, wine, dessert, and service were outstanding!

    The food was delicious and the service very good. To start I had the Asparagus with Poached Egg, Parmesan Cheese and Toasted Almonds. This was a great combination. For my main course I had the Grouper with Foie Gras, Sautéed Vegetables and Vegetable Broth. The Grouper was cooked to perfection with a wonderful char grilled skin and the balance of the foie gras and fish was superb. The service was excellent ~ attentive but not intrusive.

    The restuarant staff made us feel properly welcome and at ease straight away. We hate it when everything is over formal. The front of house guys were professional, knowledgable and most of all, "human". Humour and measuring the customer is critical and these guys were on the money. Well done. Food. We went here because of the good reviews. My, my, my, everything we drank and ate was on the money. An excellent experience. This is not a "wheel em, wheel em out" tourist trap kind of place. Your satisfaction with everything seems to be a requirement, not just a "nice to have". I'm fairly sure if there was something wrong it would be put right in double quick time..... However, as there was absolutely nothing wrong with any of our meal, this wasn't an issue for us. 10/10. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. A lovely treat. Enjoy. P.S. .......going back on Wednesdsay.

    Great service, ambience and good quality/good value food. I loved that there were three soup starters for me to choose from as a vegetarian. From two veggie main courses, I chose the gratin (rather than a risotto, which I'm sure would have been nice). The concept and portion size were good but I found it rather bland. Wine, cocktails and desserts were very good quality and my carnivorous friends were content with their experience. Most exceptional was the service – it was clear that our hosts wanted us to have a wonderful evening.

    We dine here every time we visit Lisbon. The quality of the seafood and the plate presentation is superb. Order the tiramisu to be prepared at your table! The staff is well-trained and very personable.

    Everything started off well, but then you get forgotten about and the place wasn’t even that busy. I don’t know if they were shortstaffed or what I would not return

    We came in, family of four, 7 PM. The restaurant was not busy at this time, The menu is simple but the food was outstanding, we had both meat and fish courses. The waiter’s wine recommendation was perfect, local sauvignon blanch. The service was very pleasant, always there at request, but never overdoing. The coffee and desserts were very enjoyable. The distance between tables gives a good privacy and the indoor decor is subtle and pleasing. We are vert likely t.d revisit this resturant.

    After two weeks in Portugal, we looked forward to a highly rated restaurant in Lisbon for one of the last dinners. The environment is certainly classy, but we were a bit disappointed by the interpretation of traditional dishes such as caldeirada of mariscos and pork, not very tasty. Wine list looked a bit overpriced, compared to other good quality experiences we had elsewhere. Service at time inattentive for such a high level location, fork and spoon were not replaced when main dishes were served and we had to call the waiter back. The suggested aguardente velha was very good. Alltogether, nothing tragically wrong but nothing attractive enough either to justify a high note.

    Wow!! Food, service and atmosphere were exceptional. My family and I could not be happier with our choice to dine here. The service and attentiveness was the best we have experienced in Lisboa. The food as well was well portioned and extremely well presented. Loved it and could bot recommend more.

    My first trip to Portugal and a birthday dinner couldn’t have gone much better. The two young gentleman that looked after myself and my lady did an absolutely outstanding job. A credit to the restaurant. Great Mixology on the cocktails and the food was delicious and well presented. 5 stars.

    The service was excellent, very friendly staff who went out of their way to make sure my gluten free meal was perfect and without issue. We had the shrimp appetizer and the beef tenderloin as our main. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend giving this a try. They even had gluten free bread that I was able to have with dinner and was able to dip it in the yummy garlic and butter sauce that came with the shrimp! 10 out 10!
