5/10Lovely atmosphere, decor, etc. but foodwise you can do so much better in lisbon for that price range. Nothing was bad but nothing was outstanding either. So it felt like a waste of time for us as we only had 5 days in lisbon and we wasted one lunch there. After lunch we head straight to the time out market and continued to eat there! And then we were finally happy about our lunch. So you know what i mean...

8.5/10Our table was booked for 1930hrs but the doors were shut and we had to wait outside for 20 minutes until they opened. We chose to sit in the outside area, which was a mistake, as we were the only ones in there. The food was brought out and served by the waiter. The food was delicious and the waiter was polite and attentive. We asked for the bill and booked a pre-payment taxi to take us back to our hotel. The waiter returned with the card machine to take our payment but found that it had not been charged. He then went to get the other machine but that wasn’t charged either! We were then unable to leave as we did not have any other means to pay the bill. Our taxi arrived but could not wait and left. About 30 minutes later the machines had charged sufficiently so we could pay. We ordered another taxi that arrived 40 minutes later. What was a pleasant evening and meal at XXL at Oliver was overshadowed by the incompetence of the person responsible for charging the card machines.

10/10I discovered this great restaurant last year when visiting Lisbon! Had a wonderful experience, so this year I had to come back and this time I brought two others couples! Started with Very kind greetings, we sat outside and it was just lovely! The food is excellent- we all got the cod!! The Portuguese potatoes are a must!!! The dessert must include the soufflé!!!! It was perfection.

5/10Service very slow. Cocktails (and bottle of wine) took very long to come. Excuse was only one barman was available for outside and inside restaurant. Order to Campari & sodas — only one came…eventually as, we were told Campari had finished! Outside area/terrace really nice addition but it has to come together with good service.

5.5/10I was disappointed on my first visit to this restaurant. The ambience was stuffy, the music too loud and the food not really good enough for a restaurant at this price level. With the exception of the excellent cheese and spinach soufflé, the dishes (steak mainly) were just ok, the French fries were soggy and flavourless and the restaurant did not even have ketchup to liven them up. After having a superb experience at Yakuza a few weeks ago, I found this offering a much less positive reflection on Oliver’s group of restaurants. I will not be coming back.

7/10Very good, we choose the cozido à portuguesa, was nice but not impressive. The service was cordial but a little slow when the restaurant was full. Much time spend to pay ate the end.

9.5/10We paid 376 for 4 people and It was worth the money because the food was really delicious, but there was no bet in the money we paid for 4 people and we were asked if we would pay a bet. The waiter did not like the number we offered and he smiled a little mockingly. This seemed a little rude.

10/10We thought it was Michelin rated. Was surprised when it was not. But it was like a Michelin. Except portion sizes are bigger 😊. Friendly staff great food. Price was good in relation to the quality. Not to miss.

8.5/10Quality of the food is amazing. However, the Lobster Steak is totally overrated, even though the lobster was very well cooked, the sauce was not good, specially considering the price.

6/10The Music is to Loud. The food is good, but maybe to expensive for what you get. The desert is really great.

6.5/10Nothing out of the ordinary. Food is average. There are tascas in Lisbon with more tasty flavor. One thing is for sure, the service staff is A+

5/10The service at this place is terrible. Waiters that don’t take the right orders, but make sure wine is sold. Food does not came out at the right timing. Menus are conflicting btw printed card and QR code, including the prices of wine which are lower in the menu and charged higher in your final bill. Food tastes ok but it’s hard to miss when you use butter and cream everywhere. Don’t recommend.

3.5/10My past came cold and with no taste. The fish tasted like rubber. Totally inedible. When we complained they didn’t even apologize. Lastly, they brought chewing gum with the check!!!! Zero class.

10/10We loved everything about this restaurant. The food is amazing. You have a lot of variety. The staff was very kind and professional. And they also did a small cake for my mom’s birthday as a request. The atmosphere is wonderful. Will definitely came here again.

10/10We were greeted so kindly and welcomed with enthusiasm. It made us feel great! Great sense of humor thé d’inamical duo had!! Glad we listened to their suggestions. Wasn’t going to have dessert as our meal was delicious and satisfying! But so glad we listened and had the soufflé!! Oh it was so good with the guava ice-cream!!

8.5/10The topmost remarks? Amazingly friendly staff within a cosy environment with a nice music selection. The food? Tasty, but one can't overlook the right side column, rather overpriced.

6/10Very slow service, havent really paid any attention. Glasses and cutlery were dirty. Food was ok but not great, steak was served almost cold. There are better restaurants at that price level.

6.5/10we ordered the prawns for starters and we were quite disappointed, not to mention the price on the menu is per unit. For the main dishes, we ordered the steak xxl and the soufflé of fish and prawns, they were good, but for the price we payed for, we expected much more. Overall it’s not worth the price, would not repeat.
