We went for the onion soup, which in my opinion, was the best part of the meal. For main, we had what was a traditional Brazilian dish, mainly because they didn't have a compelling seafood option as part of the lunch deal. All in all, the menu looked good, but I felt that it didn't truly embrace the local seafood dishes. The range was a bit limited as well. Service was pretty prompt and good. Our food cafe out on time, and everything flowed smoothly. Ambience was cozy and quite literally a hole in the wall. We sat outdoors, which was nice on a breezy spring day like today.

While we were sitting, a male server hovered near us the entire time, cleaning the same small area of the table over and over, clearly eavesdropping. Staff is rude, unwelcoming, and invasive -- avoid this place. Plenty of much nicer places and more reasonably priced places to have a beer. Tourists beware -- rude staff, judgmental service, and overpriced drinks. Definitely not worth your time or money.

Quality is yeoman, not fancy and not blow your socks off "...this is so great I can't believe it". But satisfying and value priced. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Live music (Fado on Thursday, Friday, Saturday) performed most evenings in the upstairs dining room. Seats only 40 people so reservations are mandatory. Don't walk in and expect to be seated upstairs. The ambience is casual. The experience feels very family home made and satisfying. There are 6 other restaurants within 100 meters of this place. This one is my favorite because is feels the least touristy.

3.5 stars. Princesa…read moredo Castelo is a hole-in-the-wall vegan restaurant along one of the roads where tram 24 runs through the Alfama district. I was intrigued by the presence of a vegan restaurant in Lisbon, but it seems like vegan and vegetarian restaurants are plentiful here. The menu is just as tiny as the restaurant. There are 2 main dishes and a few desserts and starters. I ordered the daily dish, which was called Brunch. It included vegan cheese on toast, vegan sausages, a slice of sun-dried tomato, roasted beets on top of potatoes, and oats with strawberries and bananas. Elements of the dish were both a hit and a miss. As a non-vegan, the individual components were very good attempts at replicating the real thing. First, the cheese had the right texture. It had a very light and subtle flavor that I enjoyed. The vegan sausages were too dry on the inside. The beets and potatoes were particularly good, but I'm a bit biased as I enjoy beets in general. The oats in soy milk was tasty. There was a subtle sweetness to it. Overall, the food was good and a good value for €13.

We got the vegetable curry twice, as well as a quinoa salad, a tofu scramble, a carob cake, and some juice. Out of all of these, the quinoa salad was my favorite. But even the warm curry was delicious on a hot day! The carob cake was a bit dry and crumbly tasting, though -- I think I can bake a better one myself. There was quite a rush for the cheesecake, so I wonder if that would have been better? Sadly they were sold out once we wanted dessert. Service was a bit slow and they don't open before noon, but that's fine when you are on vacation :) As others have mentioned, the space is small, so going here with a large group is probably not advisable. I liked that their food menu was hand-written. It sounds like they just make up the menu as they go, and include whatever dishes they can make with the produce they have available that day. Overall, I very much enjoyed eating here -- it was nice to just get some good old vegetables among all the meat offerings of Portugal!

Worth Going Out Of Your Way…read more.... On our annual vacation, my wife and I were fortunate enough to get a reservation for 3 nights at the Santiago de Alfama hotel. Audrey's is their primary restaurant and we sampled 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch and 1 dinner. Here are the pros and cons. Pros: - In keeping with the hotel, everything is beautiful in a subtle manner. Call it "down-to-earth elegance". - Breakfast: The a la carte menu offered some of the best breakfast foods we've ever had. Examples: Fresh granola and berries with Greek yogurt. THE BEST EVER! Home baked breads and pastries. Orange juice that's pure and not too sweet. Bagel and lox to please the purists. Service was provided by a trio of very friendly, attentive and helpful young women. - Lunch: We ate on the patio in front of the hotel. I had a super tasty vegetarian Thai dish while my wife had a big salad. They were accompanied by the best Sangria in ages. Sweet, but not too much. - Dinner: The dining room is very attractive yet understated like the hotel. Comfortably modern European. Food was impeccable. Tomato salad was large and amazing. My wife's dish focusing on baked cod was large and filling. My polenta with mushroom ragu was immense and full of flavor. Breads are baked daily and almost as good as dessert. Speaking of dessert, mine was a fantastic chocolate mousse while my wife had fresh berries with a massive amount of the best homemade whipped cream. Wine was a local Chardonnay - an excellent choice - for a reasonable $30. - Prices for such a Michelin star experience are considerably lower than you'd expect in the US. Con: - While the food at dinner was fantastic, service was perfunctory. Our server, a pleasant young woman, covered the basics...but nothing more. During our 90 minute meal, she NEVER asked "how are you doing?" Can I get you anything?" We ordered a bottle of wine, but NOT ONCE did she offer to refill our glasses. She didn't speak an unrequired word. The man seemingly managing the room barely acknowledged us. The guy clearing dishes was the ONLY ONE to ask if we wanted coffee or tea. The restaurant was nearly empty. Did we not spend enough? Did we do something wrong? What a way to put a damper on a glorious meal. However, as well-behaved Americans, we left a 15% tip. The next day, we spoke with Martim Neves Carneiro from Guest Relations who was very receptive to our information. He said "they are part of a new nighttime crew and will need remedial help". How very true. Despite those hesitations, Audrey's certainly deserves 5 stars.

We had burgers and fries and I drank some iced tea. The burger was ok, nothing to write home about. I've heard they have better ones. We sat outside and it was awesome, the weather was great and it was very nice and peaceful. I never came back and I don't know if I will. I thought the burgers were expensive and just not amazing. If I feel like eating a burger, and if I pay that kind of money for a burger, it better be an AMAZING burger, y'know?
