10/10The service was extremely personable, and the food felt authentically Portuguese. We loved learning about the restaurant and its history, and the food was incredibly tasty.

4.5/10Desert was heavenly, and white sangria excellent. Other parts of the menu were quite unique. Service was friendly and the waiter explained about the history of the place. We got even a little gift to take home with us! The restaurant was really tiny and so were the tables. On our table it was more suitable for two persona rather than three. Food was quite pricy for the quality and presentation.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for spending your Christmas evening with us. We’re genuinely happy to know you enjoyed the dessert, the white sangria, the friendliness of the service, the story of the place — and even the little gift we prepared with care. That said, we must admit a small curiosity on our side. On a Christmas night, on an island where most places are closed, our team chose to step away from their families to welcome guests warmly and ensure a memorable evening. Considering everything was enjoyed and finished, we can’t help but wonder how this translated into such a low overall score. Our space is intentionally tiny, and that intimacy is part of its character and history. As for pricing, we believe in fair value that reflects quality, craftsmanship, and the very special context of the evening. Still, we appreciate your visit and your words. We only hope future reviews reflect the full experience — especially on nights that mean so much on both sides of the table.

10/10What a sweet little place! Perhaps the best dining experience of our visit to Portugal. The staff was delightful, with great energy, explaining the food they serve, as well as, the beers and wines that they offer. We enjoyed their Experience tasting menu and a bottle of wine. The tapas-sized dishes included a variety of meats, fish, and vegetables and everything was excellent! While it is billed as a traditional Portuguese menu with an assortment of regional dishes from throughout the country, based on our other dining experiences, the quality and flavors are a step up. The cozy and friendly atmosphere enhanced our visit even more. As its a tiny place, make sure to make a reservation.

10/10The food was so good we forgot to take photos for our review! We shared the sardine pate on cornbread, the pork rib, but our favourite dish (which was hard to decide on!) was the beer braised cabbage, which had an indescribably tasty creamy and herby sauce. The cosy ambience, friendly and attentive staff and the delicious food has made it a memorable night for our trip. Anyone visiting Lisbon should absolutely plan a meal at Taverna das Marias.

The restaurant impressed us with its beautiful environment and especially with its great food and service. They took care of us as if we were special guests, even though we were there before the official opening. A beautiful experience and we will definitely return to this place on our next visit to Lisbon.

10/10A family meal for 6 on holiday in Lisbon. Can really recommend this little restaurant. Very good value, simple tapas style food. Service was very friendly and attentive. Our waitress took time to answer any questions we had whether about the food or wine available. Finally we were able to hear ourselves speak and had a lovely experience. Probably best to book to ensure a table.

3.5/10Food was Terrible. Ordered the Chourico with bread and the beet salad with walnuts. The Chou rico was absolutely terrible. Took one bite and set it aside. The salad was decent. The bread that came with the Chou rico was inedible. Worst part is when the server came and saw the full chorizo there and we said it wasn’t good he didn’t offer to replace it with anything else. Stay away from this tourist trap and go find yourself a better spot for Portuguese food.
