Our last dinner in Lisbon... Last meal of our Europe backpacking... And very wisely chosen…read more This place should get more visitors, but it appeared to be enjoyed only by the locals. The wait staff seemed to be able to understand and speak basic English and took care of us well. We ordered way more food for two people, as it was our last... and terminated all. Of course, we "rolled" back to our Air BnB house. They have a few appetizers already made and is displayed by your waiter for your choosing. Don't remember exactly what we had but our choice of 3 or 4 were all very delicious... Especially the combo of cracker/pumpkin jam/cheese. We had their special steak combo which came from some special farm. Four pieces of perfectly cooked meat came in a skewer with a hanging stand. A view I had not been able to experience in the past. I drulled as the steak drulled it's wonderful juice while I pulled it from its sword-skewer, and continued to due so until all of them were gently placed in our stomachs. Of course, the two desserts out of their many offerings, were phenomenal. The bill for all of the above, and two beers was somewhere around US$ 40. 'Applause' "well done the owner/chef of Carvoaria Jacto'.

We've been in Lisbon for 9 days now. Although I love fish, was looking forward to a non fish meal…read moreto break things up. Came across this gem not far from our Airbnb in Graca. It is very modern inside compared to most of the restaurants we visited. You can get steaks, veal, seafood or you can get them in a hanging skewer with a coup,e different meats. We got the beef and sausage skewer and the salmon, tuna, halibut skewer. Each came with a salad bar and boiled veggies came with the seafood skewer. The 3 of us shared 2 skewers ( plenty of food) and they said we could each have a salad bar. We also ordered the vegetable rice, bottle of wine, 2 beers and 2 desserts-lime cheesecake and a chocolate pie. Our bill was 53€!!!! The place was very full-we arrived around 9p and they close at 10. Very nice option especially if you want to try something other than the typical grilled fish.

We celebrated our anniversary here a few days ago. When we first tried to dine here several years…read moreago during August the restaurant was closed for vacation. We were disappointed at the time but we found many other restaurants that had good seafood as well. We were traveling with other family members this time and thought this restaurant would be the best places to try pretty much every seafood dishes available in Lisbon and some of the unique foods that we can't get at home. We had barnacles, glass shrimp (it is supposed to have eggs outside the shell but unfortunately we were told the season was over so there were no eggs), spider crab, oysters with caviar, scallops, razor clams, and cheese with bread. My daughter's boyfriend tasted the barnacles for the first time and he loved it. We ended up ordering it twice. Everything was delicious. Everyone enjoyed the food. Excellent service.

Fresh seafood, worth a try if you ever visit Lisbon!…read more Highly recommend ordering the clams! It was so delicious especially when you dip bread into the sauce! Scallops were also very delicious! Very sweet! The crab was my least favorite. It didn't taste very fresh... it seemed like it was prepared and sat in the fridge for awhile before serving it. Overall, I highly recommend this and try the other items on the menu. Must make a reservation as they most likely will be booked up and won't be able to accept walk ins.

Shrimp was tender, other places can make this dish too oily but they did it just right, potatoes also soft and buttery. Fish soup was not bad. Decent prices as well for the quality of seafood.

Came here on a Wednesday night about 8:30 with a table of 6. We were surprised that the place was…read morecompletely empty but wow did we get great service! This spot was decorated with wines on all the walls and a white table cloth feel. We got sat right away and they had menus in English and Portuguese. We started off with some bread butter olives and cheese for the table. Loved the different types of breads in the breadbasket as well as the variety of olives. The cheese was also fresh and creamy and a perfect combination with the bread. We opted for a bottle of verde wine and we got the gambas al ajillo and the fish for two. The gambas came out right away and they were delicious and with a hint of lemon they were a must. The fish for two was fantastic, it was served table side and the sauce that it came in was delicious. Great spot for authentic food and easy to accommodate a group.

Sadly, rhe one item we really wanted Lulas ( Grilled Squid) Rechadas was off the menu. We realized the menu in Portugués versus rhe English menu did not have the daily specials. So with the help of Google translator, i was able to figure out the menu. Our waiter could not take the order, so another waiter came by to assist, i dont soeak portuguese. Nevertheless, order was placed and the food cane out within 15 minutes. Our favorite dish was the grilled dorado fish, nice grilled-charred flavor, served with boiled potatoes and some steam carrots and broco. The beef tongue is melt on your mouth, tender, slice thin tongue beef. The brown sauce add a nice level of seasoning but it does not mask the beefy flavor of the beef tongue with just enough fat in the meat to induce the palate, the french fries for some reason were not as crispy as the fried we are accustomed in the USA. But I noticed the same when were in Greec, we actually had to ask for extra crispy fried- well that will have to be next time. The Garlic shrimp was good but it did not take me flavortown, felt like it could have used more garlic. By the way the Garlic shrimp was more like a tapas size serving, we also order some bread and butter. Unlike in the USA, here you have to pay for bread and butter, which is cant get used to it. The bread was rustic, crusty and cut into small pieces. We did not have dessert because we wanted nata from a store nearby. We. Oticed they haf roasted Pernil with mashed potatoes but that seemed heavy even if we shared it but it did looked very good, as the people next to is ordered it. The house wine was just ok, nothing great but a glass of red with lunch is a good option. We finished lunch with expreso shot. Great service, very clean bathrooms and nice upscale ambiance. Came here because someone recommended it as good local spot. Always check the daily menu. Simple preparation for sll the items but done well

This family run joint delivers delicious inexpensive grilled fish and meat plates. The mom and daughter helped us and immediately asked if we needed help translating the menu. The daughter was super patient and even brought out certain types of fish so we could visualize the menu items. My mom ordered a grilled white fish steak (7 euros) which came with a side of boiled veggies and a salad. I ordered a flank steak (6 euros) which came with a side of potatoes and rice. We also got complimentary bread, butter, and olives before our meal. This was our first meal in Lisbon and my mom already said she wants to go back.

Every time I visit Lisbon I dine at Gambrinus... and for a number of very good reasons. First, and…read moremaybe foremost, is the level of personalized service. You are greeted and treated like a member of the family... whether it is your first time or umpteenth time. You are constantly being observed unobtrusively and your needs anticipated sometimes even before you are aware of them. Second is the food which is delicious and lovingly prepared and presented. Every dish I have had has exceeded my high expectations (I am a New York City foodie). The food is fresh and all so tasty. The menu has a wide selection of dishes and wines. The deserts are sublime, especially the crepes suzettes which are made table side in a performance fit for a Broadway Show. The decor is elegant with a beautiful tapestry art work displayed like a mural on their long wall. The clientele appear elegant and exude happiness and satisfaction while enjoying their meal. All in all, dining at Gambrinus assures me that my stay in Lisbon will be well worth the trip from New York City or wherever I may be coming from. Each time I leave I cannot wait to return. I had dinner there last night and am considering lunch there today before I leave tomorrow. Call me a creature of habit... but I know what I like... and like to savor what I like.

The price was more than we have usually been paying around town, almost double but I was kinda expecting that when we walked in.

We shared Paella which was delicious, and my son ordered the Portuguese steak which he did not care for. We were unsure what to expect and it was a steak beneath ham, olives, eggs, and potatoes. A traditional style steak to the area. I also had a vegetable soup which was tasty and hearty. Over all the experience was good. I loved the appetizers, not pictured because they got eaten up so fast!
