10/10The food was top of the line fine dining -- everything was incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. The best fish stew I've ever had. The staff was more than attentive, charming, and friendly without being over-bearing. And while at first glance, the restaurant appears to fit into the white table cloth category, there was nothing stuffy about the ambiance. We were made to feel very welcome. Make a reservation -- you'll be happy you did.

10/10Very nice restaurant. Diogo was our server and he did a great job making sure we had what we needed and when we needed something. Food was very tasty. Enough choices to make anyone happy. We started with the clams and the shrimp which were enjoyable. My wife had the pork and I sate the Turbot and both were very good. Good choice for dinner while in Lisbon.

10/10What a great evening at the Porter Bistro. We started with drinks in the 146 Bar to begin and the check was transferred to Porter Bistro; thanks to the very attentive staff. We moved to our table just after 7.00pm, the time of our reservation. We were offered a very extensive menu that will suit all tastes at very affordable prices. The food was superb and of the highest quality and presentation, all served by very polite and very attentive staff. We had a truly memorable night, as we were not rushed at all during our dinner. The Porter Bistro has a very pleasant and elegant ambience. You will not be disappointed with your evening at the Porter Bistro.

9.5/10A delicious dinner in a quiet environment! The service was excellent, definitely a professional wait staff. We enjoyed the opulent fish stew, well-prepared cod and turbot entrees, and creamy shrimp pasta. The desserts (pictured) were wonderful, a perfect end to a special evening.

10/10This place is an absolute jewel. Every aspect of our lunch was outstanding from the cover to the main dishes of salmon and and turbot. You know you are at an excellent restaurant where the chef gives equal serious attention to ALL the details and nothing is a throw away or an afterthought. This was demonstrated through the bread and accompanying olive oil, the honey in the chutney, and the crisp vegetables that formed a background palate for our fish dishes.

10/10Porter Bistro was the first restaurant where we dined in Lisbon. We kept wanting to go back there for a second time the food was so good. We kept finding other great places in Lisbon as well. After six days in Lisbon it was clearly one of the best restaurants we experienced. The hospitality was terrific.

10/10Went to Porter Bistro for my birthday celebration with my wife. From arrival to departure the service was excellent & we were well looked after. All of the staff were really friendly & knowledgable about the food & wine list. The food itself was superb, not served too quickly but this wasn’t really an issue. The ambience was lovely, nice & quiet so you can easily talk. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lovely meal for a special occasion.

10/10Great restaurant for a special night out. Service and food were both fantastic. I asked in advance if they could acknowledge my wife’s birthday when we ordered dessert. They went above and beyond and brought an extra dessert with a candle and two glasses of sparkling wine.

10/10A lovely modern chique setting with the right atmosphere. Professional waiting team who anticipate your needs. The menu was representative of Portuguese cuisine. Attentive service and excellent wine service. We were a family of four with varied palates and all were delighted with our dinner. We are in the hospitality business at the high level ourselves so we are a tough audience! It was a pleasure to dine at Porter. Thank you to all the production and service team for a wonderful dinner.
