Cafe Portugal

I ate Sea Bass here, I don’t like potatoes (boiled one), but fish and vegetables was good. At all, it was good.
I was on my way to hotel, I saw that delicious meals on the poster, a kind waiter helped me to find free place, I ordered it and soon the meal was on my table (with some beer too) – the service was very fast. Offer to seat here and eat delicious meals if you are hungry and tired.. 🙂

If you want to have a lovely dining experience, you should definitely pay this place a visit.

This restaurants best attribute is their incredibly friendly and attentive staff. An example of this incredible service is very well illustrated in the way they handled my indecisiveness in selecting wine. The waiter gladly offered me a taste of the two wines I was indecisive about. This way, I could be sure of which wine I wanted to order. Even though the waiter did not speak English very well, she did her absolute best to understand us and give us a clear answer to any question we may have had.

The excellent staff was complimented in the restaurant’s décor. The venue was lovely in its design which in turn also encouraged a quiet and relaxed atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the high expectations set by the staff and décor could not by fully met by the food that was served. I ordered a medium Beef Steak with Crispy Smoked Ham and French Fries. While the presentation was on point, the dish was just a bit off. Regrettably, the steak was closer to being well-done than to being medium. My girlfriend ordered the medium-rare variant of the steak. However, her dish was just as well-done as mine was. It is not to say that the food was bad, the steak was actually one of the better well-done steaks I have had. On a better note, the desserts we ordered were delicious and redeemed the restaurant.

In short, this restaurant should be your go-to place in Lisbon when you highly value service and presentation, but be cautious as the food may not be able to live up to the grand expectations set.
