The service was good and attentive and the ambiance was lovely. We found this place on Yelp as we were walking the nearby plaza and didn't like any of the selections there.

It's a decent view past that, since it overlooks the Parça do Comercio. The service was decent. They were pleasant and were helpful with people who only knew a few Portuguese words. The prices were high for Portugal. We paid 110 euros per person. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant. It felt like a tourist trap with high prices, and low quality meat. When we were all done every person had chewed and spit out portions of the beef that wasn't edible. Such better options off the main roads.

We had: - Basket of Bread with Basil Butter and Fleur de Sel Butter - Prawns al Ajillo (shrimps in an Olive Oil, Garlic, White Wine sauce) - South American Rump Steak with Chips (fries) - Roasted Vegetables Every item in tonight's dinner was fantastic. I highly recommend the Prawns appetizer as well as the Rump Steak (medium rare).

Delicious first meal in Lisbon!…read more Our flight was delayed in Munich by 24 hours, so we got to Lisbon frustrated, exhausted, and hungry! We needed a good and filling dinner. Dois Arcos was only half a block from where we were staying, and the online reviews were overwhelmingly positive. The staff was very welcoming and friendly when we arrived around 9:30 PM. With a mix of Spanish and English, we asked for their recommendation and ended up with Octopus Salad for an appetizer and seafood rice for the main course. They were both delicious. We had to try their dessert menu, so I went with my favorite, flan. It was perfect! All and all, this was an enjoyable first meal experience in Portugal for us.

If it is after, closer to the back end which is up a small flight of stairs. If it's your first time stick to the classic steak entrecôte and the never ending fries. Start with a salad. Skip the bread so at to have room for steak and fries. The wine selection is superb. The service amazing but not overly fussy. This is bistro food. So no frills but that is what makes it extraordinary! Tip: watch what others order, point politely and say: "Ishto, obrigada!"

The bartender will sometimes refill the bottle by crouching by the ginginha tap at the bottom of the wall. Then, he will fill a shot glass and add a sour cherry.

Cana Verde is situated in what used to be the sailor and fisherman market district and while many of us (locals and tourists alike) opted to have a sit down lunch, there were many workers who popped in for a bite or coffee quickly at the counter. Very legit. Since sardines are what Portugal is all about, I ventured a try and ordered the Sardinhas Assadas (grilled sardines). These were served whole, brilliantly seasoned with potatoes, salad, oil & vinegar and fresh bread. These were big' ol sardines, about 6-8 inches long. They were piping hot. Since they were cooked and served whole, all manner of fish guts spilled out and I just tried really hard to think that I was getting my Omega 3's while scooping up the fish bits. The richness/oiliness/flavor of the dish was quite intense, and I really had to try to make it through three of the four sardines. Luckily, the half-bottle of vinho verde I ordered made it easier to wash down the fishes. I chose this restaurant because when I passed by I could see chickens roasting in one window, and a group dining robustly with mountains of plates of fishbones. I knew I would regret it if I didn't go in. Glad I did, glad I tried the sardines, but to be 100% honest, I wish I tried the chicken..the other house specialty. Will never forget this experience!

We were told this meal takes a long time to prepare. It was yummy. We also ate the olives that were on the table, that are not free. We skipped the bread, and we did not get charged for it. The one plate was more than enough for two of us. The interior feels very old-school Portugal. The outside patio is nice, but the weather did not permit outside dining for lunch today.
