It’s simply a place you should go if you want somewhere to eat out in Lisbon. We were recommended by a friend and we’re not disappinted

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.

Vila Latina is simply one of the best places to have lunch or dinner in Lisbon. The place is amazing, the location couldn't be any nicer, the food is always delicious, and the service is over and beyond. Easiest place to recommend to any person who wishes to have a good meal with friends or family or for a business lunch. 6 stars!!!

We saw this place as part of a tour and thought that it looked interesting it so surpassed our expectations. Whilst unfortunately one of the team did not really want to be there, the rest of the team were truly amazing. We are so glad that we stumbled upon this place and we would highly recommend it to others.

Dear Vela Latina We visited you for the 4 th or 5 th time We like the dish with tuna Yesterday great again Pity the dish was not really warm/hot Taste was 👍 The young waiter couldn’t laugh or even smile Didn’t ask if everything was alright When I asked a cappuccino please not hot What I had was a hot coffee Second cup was filled with cold coffee and next to it cold milk Woah what a solution Then a kind lady came Asked what I would like I explained Surprise after a few minutes a perfect coffee! I do think her name is Laetitia? What a professional! Also for finding a cork on the bottle Was difficult for the waiter Again great dinner Hope to return in August! Ciao Eric

Food is overall quite good, nice setting, but service although polite is rather clumsy. Throwing cutlery to the table, pouring water from an already open bottle, taking plates while some of the guests were already eating, etc, etc. Not what you would expect for the standing the restaurant wants to be.

food is good quality in terms of the ingrediants and the cooking. but not as good as giving any surprise. the service is average, the staff was polite but lack of hospitality and passion. all in all i won't say this restaurant is bad, because it's not bad at all, but I won't recommend it either.

Fair and reliable with very good location and service. It´s a reference in Lisbon that doesn't desappoint. The food is good and fresh and the ambiance also good, but more for business.

Very well located and easy to park in space dedicated for clients. We ate at the Asian Restaurant in the same location. Had a great table in the garden ... nice and quiet from the busy tourist area. Good flexible service. Hardly any meat options on the menu so the waiter brought us the menu from the Portuguese restaurant for the guest who could not eat fish. Portions are small but delicious. Had to order several repeats. Best to share the dishes.
