As always great welcoming atmosphere. I’m not an often guest so glad that quality and taste of the food stays great. The only moment that confused me this time is a still water was smelling like a raw water from the pipes and glassed red wine was taste cheep like shiraz or so. Both were served from the open bottles and not opened in from of me.

There are only a few places like Vela Latina. Every time I visit Lisbon, I make sure I have at least one meal here. The location, the quality of service and the quality of the menu are exemplary.

I was unwell after eating their oysters as a starter. I contacted their customer service and they looked into the case but their response was very disappointing and not understanding. I would have expected that a restaurant of this standing would have dealt with the situation very differently. I am very disappointed and will NOT go back back again.

Very nice restaurant, with a cozy atmosphere and great service. We ordered the seasonal dishes, and we don’t regret. Good option for any family planning to visit Torre de Belem, and looking for a good place to have lunch.

Beautiful restaurant but service was slow and inconsistent. I ordered the lobster risotto and it was drowning in butter. Way too rich for my taste. We also felt a bit passed over by the wait staff who clearly favored serving the regulars/locals before us even though we were seated first. This was my least favorite restaurant in Lisbon. There are way better options out there at this price point. We chose this place based on the location as we had a sunset sail cruise booked at the nearby marina but were disappointed in the food and level of service thar was provided.

The food was excellent, maintaining the high standards of Vela Latina. However, the table service did not meet the level we experienced during our previous two visits. High demand should not be an excuse for a drop in service quality. A restaurant of this caliber should be well-prepared for busy days and peak hours.

From initial arrival, appetizers, main course and of course through dessert the experience was excellent. Staff guided us through the menu and our experience. Multi lingual for guests visiting Portugal for first time. Our dining experience was exceptional. Flow of courses, warmth of food and tasty beyond expectation.

Excellent! My second visit was just as good as the first. The quality of the meat is outstanding, there’s a wide variety of wines, and the desserts are delicious. The service is top-notch, very professional and kind.
