10/10Really friendly owner. We had one party member arrive late due to a delayed flight and nothing was too much trouble. Helpful menu advice. Very generous portions. Well cooked local food. Great atmosphere.

10/10This restaurant might not suit people who value style over substance, however if you are open minded and want a truly authentic dining experience, then give it a go. Don't worry about the menu, just tell the owner what sort of food & drink you prefer and let his family work their magic. When I return to Lisbon this will be very near the top of my 'must visit' list.

2.5/10Terrible restaurant. The food was terrible - note, I am portuguese and know what good portuguese food is. The salmon went back and they still charged us. All the food was poorly cooked and no flavor at all. The bill was extremely high for the food quality. Avoid this restaurant. There are many other options in the area with much better quality and for the same price. Terrible. Will never go back.

10/10Awesome local spot in the middle of a busy tourist area. We were treated with such kindness and hospitality, and so appreciative of the experience. Food was a great representation of local, family-made cuisine. We were introduced to new types of food, and the owners patiently taught us how to eat the food for the best experience. 10 out of 10!

10/10The food was delicious and the service perfect. The price is worth for the good amount of food you get and considering it’s in one of the most busiest and pretty locations in Lisbon. Definitely would come back.

10/10The food was simply delicious and the service was phenomenal. The host was super welcoming and described the dishes on offer and gave amazing suggestions that catered totally to our taste. The dessert (a biscuit cake, his mother’s recipe) was also phenomenal. Definitely a hole in the wall to visit.

Localizado em pleno coração da pitoresca Lisboa antiga, o Bairro Alto, surge o restaurante Caracol. O ambiente bairrista e a carismática simpatia de quem recebe, convida a sentar. O Caracol apresenta uma decoração simples, prática e descomprometida. Destaque para a esplanada que espaço inclui, muito convidativa para os dias de tempo bom.

E para acompanhar tais iguarias, nada melhor do que escolher um dos vinhos de entre a seleção da casa. Atendendo à sua localização e proposta gastronómica, o Caracol é o restaurante ideal para o seu almoço do dia-a-dia, ou para um agradável jantar entre amigos.
