I don't understand the reviews I've read. They all sound fabulous but they all only provide a 4* rating.
The setting - garden, bar, house, main dining room were all spectacular. Two of us got veal in peppercorn sauce. Fantastic. Superb. Would easily be at least 2 times more expensive, perhaps 3-5 times more in New York or San Francisco. I know Lisbon is not known for NY prices, but I definitely don't think that the prices are high.
The other two got lamb kebabs and they were quite nice. The potato and vegetable side dishes were hot and well prepared too.
The service was out of this world. Unfortunately for Clara's, we were the only ones there. But it afforded a dining experience for all of us to remember a lifetime. Simply marvelous. Jesus (Francisco) was charming, informative and delightful. What fun.
Do yourself a favor and get out to this great restaurant. read more
