    This was the first dinner in Lisbon and I picked it because it was 5 minutes from our hotel. It was wonderful! I had the pork cheek dish, family had the shrimp and risotto all were happy. Definitely book for a great dinner.

    The dishes had obviously been precooked and then reheated in their individual little pans..Result was overcooked and dry. After 2 weeks in Portugal am sad to say this was my worst meal

    A small cosy restaurant. The waiter who looked after us was very friendly and informative, he advised us on the wine and allowed us to taste two different ones before choosing . The food was delicious especially the seafood rice caldoso we ordered one pot and then a second it was so good .

    Very typical taberna of Lisboa, good food. Quite noisy. We would have rather a table a little futher away from the door.

    We sat upstairs overlooking the main seating area and our waiter Luan was delightful and served us wonderful food and wine. We also visited with several other patrons and shared experiences. We would definitely go back when next visiting Lisbon.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this remarkable restaurant that truly captured the essence of Portuguese traditional cuisine. From the moment I walked in, I was taken by the warm and inviting ambiance, which perfectly complemented the exceptional dining experience. The menu offered a delightful array of traditional Portuguese dishes, each prepared with authentic flavors and a modern twist. The quality of the ingredients and the skill of the chefs were evident in every bite. It was a true testament to the rich culinary heritage of Portugal. The service was impeccable, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who were more than happy to offer recommendations and ensure that every aspect of our meal was perfect. The restaurant’s decor, with its rustic charm and contemporary touches, created a cozy and relaxed atmosphere

    Traditional Portuguese taverna, outstanding staff. Black pork cheeks were amazing as were the prawns. Returned the following evening, dispite there being so many other places to eat.

    I definitely suggest to try the pear soaked in Porto wine with a ball of ice cream as dessert!

    The service was very good. My husband had grilled sardines and I had garlic shrimp. Both were very reasonably priced and delicious. We had the Porto tasting and it was wonderful. I mentioned early in the evening that it was my birthday and they brought me dessert and sang to me. Highly recommend!

    This little restaurant was a gem. Food was excellent and beautifully presented. The small dining room was very intimate and cheerful. Wait staff were a great help in making selections. Make reservations, there may still be a short wait.

    If you want great food served by welcoming staff in a friendly little restaurant, this is the place to go. We were recommended by our hotel and we weren't disappointed. A lovely mix of people of various nationalities, some of whom enjoyed chatting with other guests. Would go back any day.

    Beautiful authentic Portuguese meal. We shared a mixed starter and my husband had the shrimp and beef skewer, I had pork fillet in Taberna sauce. Service was excellent and the food was tasty with generous portions. I would happily recommend this restaurant to my friends

    Seems to be one of these Lisbon tourist-trap restaurants with a higher-priced menu ready to present us naive visitors! Food choices and prices on menu given didn't match menus we'd seen online nor in window of restaurant! Food was just okay, disappointing to be honest. Sister had cod risotto, I had a shrimp risotto. Both quite bland and also under-seasoned.

    Taberna da BaixaOwner

    We are sorry that your experience was not good, and we will check in the kitchen what may have happened so that it does not happen again. However, we think it is important that you know that our restaurant has been in existence for 10 years and we have a lot of respect for our customers, so we will never be a tourist trap restaurant or anyone else and this is supported by the great reviews we have here and abroad. platforms and many regulars who are local and appreciate good Portuguese food.

    Satisfactory food, although the prices are somewhat excessive for Portugal, considering the quality of the products. Upon our arrival, the reception was very impersonal despite my prior reservation, with an outdoor wait in the rain. No initiative was taken to temporarily seat me in the entrance while waiting for my table to become available. Once seated, we noticed that our table was positioned near a cabinet housing the electrical panel, which unfortunately caused several disruptions throughout the evening. Despite these incidents, our understanding led to our collaboration with the staff to resolve the electrical issues. However, after these inconveniences, we hoped for appropriate compensation. Nevertheless, no form of compensation such as coffee, dessert, or even a digestive was offered by the establishment. The apologies presented proved inadequate. Furthermore, at the time of payment, I had to personally take charge of the payment terminal, as the waitress was unable to do so. In summary, I do not recommend this restaurant if you are seeking attentive service. Even some fast-food establishments in Switzerland offer better customer service. Sincerely, Fabio

    Taberna da BaixaOwner

    Hello, Fábio. We apologize for the inconvenience. We actually had a fault with our electrical panel and we are sorry to bother you to access the panel. We apologize deeply for the reception, this is not how we usually receive our customers and many reviews here confirm this. Once again we apologize and invite you to come back and have a much better experience. Yours sincerely, Team Taberna da Baixa

    Very good restaurant small and cozy but one thing I good to know do not sit close to te door every time somebody comes in or leaves a lot of cold air comes in when it is December

    Taberna da BaixaOwner

    We appreciate your comment and are glad you liked it. Unfortunately, the restaurant's only access door lets some cold escape when opened. Sorry for the inconvenience. We hope to see you again.

    The food was quite good - fish. The sommelier was excellent, suggesting a couple of nice wine pairings and a port to end a great evening of dining!

    Small and charming with authentic Portuguese food. Waitress was very helpful with menu selections and wines. It was perfect meal for 4 people sharing. We had 4 tapas and two entrees (rice with seafood and special pork dish - both amazing!) Lovely bottle of red wine from the Douro Valley. Would go back I. A heartbeat.

    Some of the best dishes I’ve had in Lisbon. If you come here, you have to order the charcuterie with the pumpkin spread (life changing)

    Taberna da BaixaOwner

    We appreciate your comment and are happy that our charcuterie with pumpkin spread is life-changing hahaha Check back often.

    Perfect neighborhood spot especially to get shared plates- we had the shrimp, octopus salad ( small portion) , bread, and large sardines plus desert - the large sardines were my favorite / very tasty and crispy and a large portion- would recommend but I’d probably get the warm lobster instead of the salad

    My wife and I shared two tapas dishes and each had a main. That was more than enough food. Everything was delicious. The restaurant is small 8 tables on the lower level and a few above the bar. Service was terrific and as a result we had a wonderful meal.

    We appreciate the comment and we are happy that you liked our restaurant! We hope you come back someday!
