4/10Everything 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

9.5/10We 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.

6.5/10After 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.

10/10My 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.

10/10The 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!

10/10The place is truly fantastic, evident from the moment you walk in. The bar and seating area look great, with an elegant and neat ambiance. The service is excellent – welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. We started with the cheese and ham board, which was generously portioned and offered an excellent selection of snacks. Next, we tried the onion soup, which was delicious but better for a colder day as it was very hearty. For the main course, we chose the shrimp from the "starters" section, which was spot-on in terms of flavor. We also had the beef tenderloin, which came with perfect puree, a great sauce, and nicely cooked meat. All our meals were paired with tasteful wine. To finish, we had a drink prepared at the bar, the fancy Negroni Sbagliato was a nice touch. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone who values a great location, excellent service, and amazing food.

9/10Amazing experience as soon as we entered the restaurant, the staff were so lovely and made the evening really special. The food was also great although we did feel the main courses lacked seasoning, easily sorted though. Would definetely recommend this place and would visit again on our next trip to Lisbon.

10/10Our experience at Porter Bistro was exceptional. I over heard our neighbors table as we were leaving tell the waiter they would be dining with them the next night as well. It WAS that good. The ambiance was quiet and luxurious. The views relaxing. The wine they helped with was local and delish like our meal. I definitely highly recommend this place.

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.
