WOW! Tucked away in a sexxy chic alley, the. Up a narrow passageway of plant filled stairs you enter a tiny, cramped, loud and insanely lovable place. Expect to wait, but the vibe and food is well worth it! We had the sausage board and a crazy delicious salad! Amazing vibe! read more

I'm not sure why this place gets such high ratings. Yes, the people were wonderfully happy and nice, but the food was disappointing. Bland, salty, tasteless and expensive. Will not be going back. read more

This restaurant is hidden up in a hill, and there is stairs to reach it. It serves traditional Portugal food, and I tried their "a bras" cod fish. It was to my surprise that all the time I was trying to find where is the cod, yet I tasted cod every time I sent the food into my mouth. I visited this place after my walking tour and the tour guide said that the Portuguese has hundered of ways to cook cod, now I believe it. All my life so far I only know to steam, to fry the cod with the presentation of the "cod" itself. I never thought about breaking it down and blended in other materials and still taste cod and delicious! Only complaints is that this restaurant seems not accepting credit card, although on Google it says it accepts cards. The lady in the restaurant refused me to use my card. And fortunately I brought cash with me today. Just a heads up that you want to prepare cash before visiting this place. read more

Excellent food in a humble restaurant up the stairs tucked in an alley. Really loved the cheese and bread plate, the potato Brás, and the sangria isn't bad either! Waiting is expected since there was a line for dinner. About 8-9 people. But the servers are attentive and we got our table in 10min. read more

We needed just a bit of takeout to have with some salad and fresh items we had left over in our AirBnb before leaving Lisbon so we stopped in here early evening and asked for two orders of garlic prawns to take away. (When we got them home we found 6 large prawns in good shape with heads east to remove and a very tasty sauce.) Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. While we waited we had a cold beer. There is some great outdoor seating along the stairwell outside which is quite picturesque. Inside it's more of a homey cozy feel and quite casual with handwritten graffiti over every surface, I think anyone could leave their mark here! Cash only. read more

Lisboa Tu & Eu - Sardines - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

We waited for an hour only to experience none of the food had salt or any seasoning. The "Creamy eggs and mushrooms" were basically scrambled eggs. The Bacalhau (famous dish of Lisbon) was mostly potato straws that came out of a can and were freeze dried. To top it all off, the house wine is box wine. I have eaten many places all over the globe and can't recall the last time I've said this since I was a child, but the food is gross. Save your time and money and eat at a tourist trap (highly recommended Menson Andaluz!). The food is better, you won't have to wait, and will probably cost less than this place if not the same price. read more

We just had one of our favorite Portuguese meals at Tu e Eu! Everything was delicious and filling. We got bulhao pato clams, squid tentacles, a bras codfish, grilled sardines, and a mix salad. In particular, the squid and codfish were prepared very well: both tender, flavorful, and crispy on the edges-- standouts among similar dishes we have tried during our travels. We were seated on a Tuesday evening around 5:45 pm to beat the crowd. Our food was prepared promptly, and our server was thoughtful and hospitable during our stay-- he even brought us a small treat at the end. Overall, an excellent experience that we would love to have again! Please note that while paying by card is possible, they very much prefer cash. read more

Fabulous, welcoming, delicious, homey and everything we wanted in our first bites of Portugal to be. We arrived early, and the place was practically empty...and when we passed by (which we did often as our AirBnb was down the block) there was ALWAYS a line. Be aware this gem is a little hidden up a side street and up steep stairs, but I climbed them, so you can too! read more

Awesome cheese plate and the sangria was so tasty but also strong. We got the red and the white, both were tasty. read more

Fun. Excellent pico pau and cod fritters. Outside courtyard tables on a slant. Best chefs. Service with loads of smiles.

Absolutely delicious food and well priced, staff is phenomenal and English translated menu to help those not fluet in Portuguese. Would recommend anyone who visits to come and eat here. Depending on the time of day music can be a bit on the loud side but it's not deafening:) early in the day is more calm, after 7 pm it gets lively read more

I miss this place already!! The restaurant is super small and in an alley and their food is delicious!! It gets super busy so you have to get there early! The waiter was friendly but they need help. There was only two waiters and they were super busy!! We tried the sardines and it was the best! Yes, service is "slow" but what do you expect, it's not the US! If you want a quick, mediocre meal, don't come here. If you want quality and authentic Portuguese food, this is your place. read more

Be-aware no!!! Credit cards.. if you have spent enough time in Lisbon you should know this by now. :) ... nice outdoor seating, but you have to wait. We chose to sit inside for the brood ambience. Staff is very friendly and food is delicious. We took octopus salad and sardines, one of the best in town. Ingredients were super fresh, although sardines needed some salt compared to other spots. Calamari looked awesome as well, we saved that one for the next time. Hostess was kind enough to provide cherry liquor on the house to seal of the meal. PS . If no cash, there is a ATM as you go down the hill on your left abut (30ft down the hill outside a souvenir store) read more

Giving this two stars for restaurant policy. We arrived at 22:15 (two of us) and were refused service despite the restaurant's hours posted as closing at 23:00. Only wanted a plate of grilled sardines and a few beers, nothing extravagant. They stop serving at 22:00 so don't bother going past that hour. No ifs, ands, or buts. Forget about anything after 22:00. I do believe we had good fortune in being turned away. We left down the steps going to bottom of hill and turning right a few hundred feet finding Restaurante Gaucha. They stay open honoring their hours - actually they close at 22:00 and we were graciously greeted by the owner and promptly seated despite being after closing. Local folks were inside and Restaurante Gaucha's grilled octopus snd sardines were great (see separate review w photos). Will try Lisboa Tu & Eu next time in Lisbon but for now, they fail to deliver having circumspect hours and policy. Don't want to one star them, but they should review their posted hours if they do not honor them. read more

Great tapas, try the beef and chicken , delicious. Be prepared to eat in a small place ! Service was quick

Unassuming little restaurant tucked in the alley in the Alhambra district. We made our way here after searching online for places with good octupus. Looks like they are part of a hostel organization. Their menu changes depending on what they have, and we got a variety to try. Dishes range from €5 - €10 and are a great value for what you get. They do offer you bread and olives, which you can refuse if you don't want and they won't charge you for it. Octopus salad - must get!The octopus salad definitely made the trip worth it! It was so good we got a second order of it. Marinated Sardines - tried this out after reading other reviews, really enjoyed this take on sardines. Not as salty as their grilled counterparts, with sweetness added with the onions and peppers Cod Portuguese - similar preparation the sardines, really love the big chunk of fish cooked just tender Pica Pau pork - garlicky pork in a light sauce, it had me dipping into the bowl to get the rest of the sauce. read more

We were on vacation in Portugal. We wanted to try a local restaurant. This place was highly recommended. There was a line to get in and they don't take reservations. The worker assured us that the wait wouldn't be long. He was right. We only waited approximately 15-20 minutes. We chose to sit on the outdoor table, since it was a nice evening (it was in the 70's at 7pm. The attendant was quick setting us up and got us the menu. After ordering, the food came quickly. The server came to check on us frequently. These were the plus parts. My negatives are there were fruit flies and ants that made outdoor eating not so enjoyable. As for the food, some the clams were gritty meaning they weren't purged of their dirt before cooking. The sardines had a fishy taste telling me it wasn't so fresh. Also, prices were affordable, but portions were on the smaller side (maybe I'm just spoiled from America). Other items were good, but not exciting. It didn't inspire me to want more Portuguese food. Overall, I just thought the experience was just okay. read more

come early. lovely little hidden in alley restaurant. sweet host, delicious food (the salted cod was wonderfully prepared with great texture each bite!), and drinks perfected (the ginjinha tonic was refreshing!). sitting outside on the stairs was wonderful and great for people watching since people pass to use the elevators. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. Very traditional Portuguese food and the service is good too.

Food gets five stars. Very crowded, loud and uncomfortable seating. Nice little neighborhood restaurant. Servers were working hard but having a hard time keeping up... not their fault. You may have to wait in line. We went on a Sunday night. read more

Awesome food and vibe. The wait was worth it. The Bacalhau a Bras shrimp and cod were both outstanding!

My husband and I shared the grilled sardines and bacalhau a bras for our last night in Lisbon at Lisboa Tu & Eu. The restaurant was small but very inviting with all the messages/names from previous diners - on the walls, ceilings and even on the tables and chairs - EVERYWHERE! The only disappointment we had was when we ordered a glass each of their port and the glasses were served in thimble-sized glasses. However, when we do go back to Lisbon, we will be sure to go there again but not order their port. read more

Great hidden gem! The food is fantastic and mostly on the traditional home cooked side. It has a home feel compared to other restaurants. The owner is very sweet. We ordered pica Pau beef, octopus salad, mixed portuguese sausages and some rice/cabbage/bean dish (was recommended by the owner). All were really good. Octopus salad was so delicious and couldn't even taste the seafoodness of it! Everything else was just as flavorful and great, don't think you can go anything wrong ordering from the menu. read more

Such a great find. This place is tucked away and not on the beaten path but do not be deterred!You must make this a go to if in Lisbon. The owner and waitress has such a lovely story which is printed on the menu and she was very eager to share it with us. it very apparent that the food is cooked with love. We ordered the grilled sardines, the pica pau with chicken and the mushroom rice- Perfectly divine-. I would go back again and again as all the other menu items looked delectable:-) read more

If I can give this place 10 stars I would! I am a total foodie and love to try new things, so when the place my husband and I wanted to go to was closed (siesta hour) we accidentally found this hidden gem and WOW best decision ever was coming here. You have to go up a hill and the place is located by a stair case. It's VERY small with the best food that I've ever tried in my LIFE! I'm not even exaggerating. We ordered DOUBLE of everything, that's how good and fresh the food was. We ordered the squid, shrimp, and clams and bread (they recommended getting it to soak up all the juice from the clams and shrimp haha) the service was great and they were very friendly. They close at 10pm and then the place turns into a bar. It has such great ambiance! If I lived in Lisbon, I would absolutely eat here once a week. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this place. PS- they DO accept credit card, I paid with my American Mastercard! read more
