Located at the end of Rua Augusta, it had a pretty view of all the Christmas lights. We ended up getting octopus rice, gravlax salad, codfish dumplings, and a seafood pasta soup. The codfish dumpling fusion was a pleasant surprise, creamy on the inside and a nice chewy gyoza wrapper. The octopus rice was good too. A decent amount of octopus with rice in a smoked bell pepper sauce. I was disappointed by the seafood pasta soup though. I liked the mussels, but the shrimp and the clams weren't the freshest. The clams were a little mushy. It had a nice seafood stock flavor, but definitely could have used more salt and seasoning. We had mixed service from one of the female servers. read more

Last day in Lisbon, treated to a nice birthday lunch. Nice open and bright space and thoughtful service, had a booth looking toward the plaza. Not too busy for Sunday lunch. We started with a glass of wine and a specialty cocktail with gin and cherry liqueur as a base. Perfect balance of herbal and tart and sweet. We shared the amberjack ceviche which was fresh and bright and then the rich & creamy prawn risotto. All beautifully executed. We each ordered a glass of 20 year port to celebrate my birthday and the staff overheard and brought a complimentary rich chocolate dessert. Very enjoyable meal all the way around. read more

Location is great as it's right off the square and the restaurant has a modern feel. The service was a bit strange and the food was good but pricey. A bit of a tourist trap but for convenience it's a fine choice. I had the giant prawn risotto & my husband got a grilled fish. The oysters were delicious. In a city with amazing seafood this was okay but not a super memorable standout. Overall, not bad but Lisbon had other places we'd rank higher. read more

We just had an excellent seafood dinner here. The Bastardo carpaccio appetizer of salmon, mackerel and sea bass was so flavorful, followed by cod and sea bass entrees (both were good but the sea bass was best). We shared a slice of Basque cheesecake for dessert and it was the creamiest we'd ever had-terrific. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly and efficient staff also. Definitely recommend if you are looking for high quality seafood. read more

Bastardo - Sea bass (top) and cod entrees - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Ambience is casual. Good place for a date, friends or quiet families :) Service is very friendly. Greeter and waiter were both fluent in English (but you should still try to learn some basic words). Great cocktail menu. We tried Lisbon mule. The ginger beer is soft and a bit sweet, I will have it again! On to the food. I went for the prawn, avocado and mango salad. Too few prawns and too much spinach. The dressing was well prepared, but I was hoping for more prawns. The shrimp risotto had excellent taste. Generous portion with a super big, meaty and tasty shrimp Salmon with rice and curry was buttery, crispy on the outside and tender. Chef's sushi choice is an excellent poke like dish. Salmon was buttery, cucumber, mango and seaweed balanced it all. read more

A friend recommended this place as we wanted Oysters because earlier in the week, we enjoyed them immensely at Pinochio's. We made the poor assumption that we were so close to the ocean that seafood was going to be great. Wrong, oysters were immensely salty and a strong fish taste and kept biting down on pieces of the shell. The mushroom risotto was very bland we had to ask for salt and pepper but still did not finish it. The sushi was a huge disappointment, very chewy so much so we did not finish that either. And to top it off being yelled at by the waiter when we asked for our check and to please remove the beer that was never delivered, he insisted it was coming and we had to pay for it. My friend asked for it when the food was brought to the table. When it hadn't shown up 40 minutes later, at this point, we were just wanting our check and to go elsewhere for dessert. We learned that just because you are close to the ocean does not mean the seafood will be fresh. Worst restaurant we ate at in Lisbon. read more

Wonderful experience with a very kind and professional staff. We stayed in the attached hotel and took almost all of our meals in Lisbon at Bastardo. It was just that good! They also put out an extravagant breakfast buffet (pictured) for hotel guests only, and the menu was inventive with great flavors and beautiful presentations. The restaurant also had gorgeous views of Rossio Square (pictured) and no, I do not know any of the patrons who appear in this photo. read more

Food was very good as was service. It was a bit noisy but not unbearable. Would eat here again.

Spectacular doesn't do this place justice. Very creative! I ordered the milhojas de bacalao, not truly knowing what to expect. I related milhojas to a napoleon, but the plate truly surprised and amazed me! I won't give the details away: you'll just have to come and try it for yourself. If you like bacalao, you'll adore this plate! read more

I had the sea bass, and my wife had a seafood pasta. We both agreed it was one of the best meals of our 29 days in Portugal.

2 nights ago, we walked to Bastardo's for a family dinner (group of 7). We got there at 8:30pm. All the tables inside were taken so we seated outside. Let me tell you, it was windy and colder than all the previous nights. We were sitting outside for 10 minutes before asking the manager if he can squeeze us inside. He made it happen. Manager 5/5 Waiter - I'm not sure if he was new but he wasn't attentive. He didn't come around to ask if we needed anything. We waved him down to get refills and then, he forgets 1 of our drinks. He forgot some of our orders and who ordered what. 1.5/5 Food - The food was ok. We ordered more dishes than the pictures I took. Only dish I would recommend is the Traditional Portuguese Beef Steak and Smoked Ham. Had good flavors and was well balanced. My sunny side egg was over cooked but my sisters egg was spot on. Egg yolk was still running. 3/5. Overall 2.5/5 Chefs in the Kitchen - Amazing!!! Team of 5. The head chef and the 4 other chefs handled the kitchen like a beast. 5/5 read more

On the corner inside the Internacional Design Hotel. Delicious dinner. We recommend the Sea Bass fillet and the Grouper with Shellfish and Linguini Nero. Fish was cooked perfectly. Service excellent. They make a very good Negroni cocktail. We didn't have a chance to try the sushi but if it's as fresh as our fish was, it should be spectacular! Very nice ambience and quiet enough to talk. Light music in the background. read more

This is our 2nd try to find dinner. Went an Italian restaurant but the pasta carbonara came with burnt bacon and too salty to swallow. We finished the salad then wandered around trying to find something not the Portuguese food for tourists. Hard for the area within 10 minute walk surrounding Rossio Station. We saw thru the window a plate of Octopus on mashed sweet potatoes and Asparagus. Walked in without reservation and was seated right away. The service was prompt and polite. My octopus was tender and enjoyable. Hubby's Cod Fish with Potato "Mille Fuilles" was a different story. The shredded salt cod was piled on top of a bunch fried potato chip. The chips were soggy, hard to cut with knife and hard to chew. What was the chef thinking? It would be wonderful if the potatoes were scalloped & baked, as a perfect foil to soak up the salt and the creamy sauce in the cod. What was the purpose of frying the potato and not keeping it crispy? read more

Capsule review: Great food, made with care and creativity. Great service. Good atmosphere. What more could you want? The details are below….. We were in Lisbon for a few days and wanted to get a really good meal, so we talked to the guy at the desk of our hotel. He immediately recommended Bastardo, and next thing we knew, we were set up for an 8:00 reservation. We were not disappointed. We arrived at 8 and were seated right away. We sat indoors as the wind made sitting outside an unpleasant proposition. The restaurant has a bright and cheerful vibe, with an open kitchen towards the back. The food was excellent. Standouts were the golden bream, pork cheeks, and the smoked mashed potatoes that came with the pork cheeks – those were particularly amazing. You get octopus salad everywhere around here, but theirs had a particularly flavorful vinaigrette that really made it a standout. We finished with the black sesame crème brulee, which was excellent. Portions were generous; three of us each ordered main courses, shared the appetizer and dessert, and we were all quite full when we left. Service was attentive and ou r server gave us good recommendations on the food and the wine – a Monte de Afferada red from Alentejo that went nicely with the food. The price was not inexpensive but well worth it given the quality of the food. And check out their website if you’re at all interested – they do a good job with it. So as stated above, this place has it all: nice atmosphere, terrific food, great service. Mike sez if you’re in Lisbon, check it out! read more

On our last evening in Lisbon, we made a reservation at Bastardo for what turned out to be an unexpectedly delicious dinner ( as in, even better than we hoped!). Started with passion-fruit sangria & tuna tataki, then shared the sea bass fillet with mashed potatoes, which was very nicely plated separately. Highly recommend! read more

If you're in the area & need a place to eat, check this place out! Service was a little off and our server disappeared for a break and no one else took over. We had to ask other servers for things.

Gorgeous new restaurant. I came here to have tea at 4 in the afternoon because I hadn't eaten all day and was starving. I got their grilled veggies and quinoa savory dish from the afternoon tea menu with a green juice and herb tea. The quinoa dish - nicely charred tofu and red quinoa atop a bed of vegetable puree - was extremely well cooked. Then came the herb tea... cart. They grow their own herbs so I could choose among different herbs and flavorings like lime and orange zest and juice, cinnamon, ginger, apple etc. I liked the tea service so much that I asked them if I could stay for dinner. For dinner from Monday - Friday they do a small set menu for 15 euros which include water/wine, soup, entree which is a stew, and a small dessert. I ordered a la carte and got jarglass - duck escabeche, seaworld - skate + squid + potato salad and a pineapple lemon dessert. Everything tasted amazing and their bread which came inside a lego box was a cute touch. Cooking is proficient, audacious and extremely modern. You can taste the Portuguese passion in the food. Service is also amazing. read more

If you're in Lisboa, Bastardo is a must. The food was incredible and the service was excellent. The octopus was delicious super soft and flavorful. The pork was really tender that it felt as if it was butter. The bread was artisan with simple flavors but addictive at the same time. The dessert that we had was extremely fun as it had some hidden small pieces of pop rock candy that popped unexpectedly. read more

Phenomenal dinner and drinks. Must try the pumpkin risotto. Service is great. Also loved the old fashioned and the ginja!

Went here last night after reading about it in Rick Steeve's guidebook. It's a very modern and funky place. Fun signs all around and creative design. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful and made good recommendations. They have an extensive cocktail list, some classics and many different and fun! The food was very good and the presentation was too. I had the filet mignon which was delish and we also had octopus and pumpkin risotto, both also very good. Not cheap, but worth it. read more

I almost don't want to write this because it seems like the word is already getting out and there were a lot of people waiting for a table when we left. This may have been the best meal we have had in Lisbon. Both of the soups, butternut squash and tomato, were excellent. The mixed seafood dish with potatoes and the skrei codfish with polenta both had perfectly cooked fish with perfectly cooked pairings and delicate, flavorful sauces. The crumble dessert was very nice. We are looking forward to returning soon to try the rest of the menu. read more

Came here thanks to a Rick Steves recommendation. The staff speaks English and really friend. Great "local" wine and beer selection. They play around with food and everything was delicious. It's located in the hotel so not super easy to find. It's near the square which is beautiful to look out from. read more

Really enjoyed this experience! From the cool decor, to the service, to the creativity in the dishes.

We ordered the Bife Bastardo (steak with egg) and the tuna tagliatelle. Server asked me how I want the steak, I said medium rare. What I got was meat with a lot of gristle and cooked well done. The tuna in the pasta didn't taste or smell fresh. read more
