What a nice way to spend what was supposed to be our last night in Lisbon. We dined here at 9:30pm although I will say by the end of our meal at midnight, the place seemed to be shutting down... makes sense, I would book something earlier despite those late European dinner times. Besides, it was us that was slow, not them! Okay, this is a beautiful restaurant. One of the most beautiful I have ever dined in. Even though the stairs up to the restaurant were dark, the dining areas were well lit. After taking a lot of time with the menu (everything sounded so good!) we got our food in good time. The couvert was good, no complaints there. Sourdough and a flavored butter. We also got the steak tartare sandwiches, which were good but I do wish there were less brioche on them. I ate mine open-faced for a less bready experience. For our mains, we had the octopus yakitori and the pork shoulder. I liked the yakitori but almost wish there was more going on with the octopus flavor wise, but the portion was huge!! The pork is served medium rare but it was good and the tummy troubles we had that caused us to miss our flight the next day were probably unrelated. The pork with the potatoes though was very tasty and definitely my favorite part of the meal. Such great texture on all three elements on the plate. For dessert, our waiter sang happy birthday and they presented the pavlova with a song and everything! What a nice touch. The service was really good besides a couple of times other waiters would distract our waiter while we were trying to talk to him. Anyways, highly recommend if you want to have a meal that feels very special. read more

Our last dinner of our 2-week trip to Portugal and Spain in this beautiful 18th century mansion w/ high frescoed ceilings was perfect. It was stunning, historic, chic, youthful, high energy; lots of young women in gowns and men in suits. Great cocktail and wine menu. Our daughters had a Hugo Spritz and a "Bubblegum" martini which was beautiful and delicious (surprisingly not too sweet, tasted like bubblegum, but bit of raspberry - and had a foam that looked like a pile of bubblegum balls!) I had a Thomas Shelby - a dark rum, 20 yr port and bitters; really good. Like a Portuguese take on a dark and stormy. After eating mostly seafood for the past two weeks, we splurged on the steak a barao, potato gnocchi, rack of lamb w/ potatas bravas, and sides of fries, green beans and oven-baked rice w/ smoked sausage. Wow. Everything was excellent! Prices were not unreasonable, based on the quality. Good service. For a great meal that feels like you're eating in a stunning museum, absolutely recommend it! read more

I visited a couple of years ago and was not charged a cover fee and was able to go upstairs. It's gorgeous! I guess they have changed how it works here. We were charged a cover at the door and they conveniently forgot to disclose that this means we cannot go upstairs Thursday through Saturday. I know they spent a lot of money restoring this place, but I feel like that needs to be disclosed. I've heard the food is extremely disappointed so I just wanted to go for a drink. The downstairs is just not worth visiting. It's very lame and completely underwhelming. Honestly just skip this place completely. Sorry. Good luck to y'all, though! read more

Such a phenomenal experience! Fitting for a king, the architecture and ambiance is palacial. I'm not a huge of the food, but the decor and ambiance are striking.

We two had high expectations for dinner given the recommendations from guidebooks and lodging hosts. The experience was well below expectations. FOOD: 2.0. - 1.0: Soft-shell crab appetizer. Was not delicious parts of the crab, but rather the bitter portions that other places would discard -- or at least not deep fry and present. (Maybe this is Portuguese?). As the first food we had, it set a negative tone for the rest of the meal. - 3.5: Octopus main (served with broccolini and potatoes). She rated it a 3.5, I rated it a 4.0. But given that she is from a seafood-eating Asian island country and I am from the canned-tuna-is-seafood upper Great Lakes region of the US, I conclude she knows better than me. I did like the texture, and it was a generous amount of octopus. - Dessert: no rating; decided to not risk it after the experience with the appetizer and main. WINE: 4.0. We both liked the rosé wine we chose. SERVICE: 3.0. Started poorly, which (along with the appetizer) set the tone for the experience. We had reservations, and were the first people seated in the first room (with the suspended gold-colored lion), yet we were seated at the worst table: right at the entrance. After the appetizer we asked to switch tables, and our wish was thankfully granted. Call-out to the young woman who was not our server, but poured us the last of our bottle of wine; she had a wonderful smile, which was all the more precious because smiles were rare among the staff. That smile was worth half a star. AMBIANCE: 3.5. Relatively attractive interior. There was an unattractive perfumy aroma that detracted from the dining. My partner eventually (we think) traced it down to (at least one) "Aroma Club" machine inside the building. The presence of the machines begged the question: what "aroma" is being covered up? read more

This place has some amazing food and drinks! Compared to other places in Lisbon it is pricey but compared to an American restaurant it's not too bad. The service was fast and the space is beautiful! It's worth going to when visiting Lisbon. The octopus I ordered was one of the best ones I've had in Lisbon. It was very tender and not dried out at all. read more

This place gets an A+! The place itself is beautiful! From the beautiful ceilings to the decor there's much to admire. All of the food was amazing! We started with gin cocktails then wine with bread and olives. For mains we had the cod and the prawns. For dessert we had pistachio crème brûlée and chocolate cake. Great drinks and wine! My husband had the chef pick his dish and he was very impressed. It's worth the splurge!! read more

For my first night in Lisbon I joined new friends for dinner at Palácio Chiado and was not disappointed.

A splashy elegant dining experience awaits upstairs which is absolutely unexpected from the rather shabby even rough looking street level bar. Inside an aristocratic townhouse still in the original family. Ambience superb. Every corner has a feast for the eyes. The bartenders are well versed in mixology. We finally found a place that can satisfy these wayward Californians quest for a decent margarita in Europe. The selection offered on the menu covers every palate. We had a mix of nouveau Portuguese and traditional with a twist, every plate a winner. Service is pleasant, a bit more relaxed for the price point, but then dining is just slower in Portugal, the problem is me. Wine selection very nice. We dressed up for the evening as this was fine dining but it is so "social media" advertised that the clientele now looks like mostly tourists and dressed much more casual. So worry not about dress code. Uber or taxi is not easy to pick up at the door as the townhouse is on a two lane avenue that is very busy. Possible dashing across the street may occur. Enjoy it is a real treat. read more

One of the best meals we had while visiting Portugal. From when you first walk in, the decor and ambiance is amazing. The service is more than exceptional. We had an amazing waiter who was super helpful and attentive. The chili shrimp with Guanciale was advised as spicy, but it definitely was mild, still delicious shrimp. I had the cod, 2 ways, and was told to eat one before the other to experience different flavors and textures. My partner got the prawn risotto and he said it was one of the best risottos he's ever had in his life. We got a bottle of wine to split with the meal and it was reasonably priced overall. This place is definitely worth the hype of visiting Lisbon! read more

Does anyone want to wait 2 hours to get their food on their table ???????? In a room that is so hotttttt and stuffy ???? And also try to choke down over cooked foie gras ?????!?! And also be treated like crap by wait staff?? Then - come here - you will love it - my lord - the worst dining experience of my entire life We had res at 10 pm - got our food at midnight - after being abused and ignored by staff Why does anyone come to this joke of a restaurant ? They are better off making this a museum and kicking out these mofo's who know nothing about food or service read more

Great last minute find! Thankfully I was able to get a table right away on a night when they were booked. The restaurant is in a converted palace - which is beautiful! Each dining room has a different theme. My server "Mia" was very knowledgeable on the menu and the wine list! I simply gave her an idea of my preferences and she ordered for me... and everything was fantastic! Her assistant - Filipe was also very attentive (it was his first night!)... Every dish was prepared to perfection and Mia allowed me to sample a few wine recommendations to decide on the best pairing for each course.... Can't wait to return! read more

We selected this restaurant to dine at for our wedding anniversary. This was a special occasion. Upon our arrival, we were impressed with the building and the décor. They are both outstanding. The cocktail menu was fun and interesting. For our main course we order the Lobster and the Turbot. The turbot was fine. However the lobster was extremely over cooked and had the texture of rubber. I called over the waitress and the maître d' and told them to take the dish back to the chef. They later came back and agreed that the dish was not executed properly. They explained that the executive chef was not on duty. The line cook who was cooking the dish knew he over cooked it but sent it out anyway. They offer us a free dessert (which we declined). What they should have done is comp the dish. At over 50 euros, it was the most expensive dish we ordered during our entire vacation. It was bad. The restaurant knew it was bad. AND THEY SERVED IT ANYWAY!!!! read more

I wish I could take this meal back. The vibe is crumbling manor with almost rancid food. I ordered the 30 euro ribs: I've had better ribs on an airplane (the sauce was probably a week old), they gave me three sprigs of broccolini and the fries were greasy. The tuna tataki was essentially inedible; the sauce tasted like it came out of a can and was spread over room temperature slimy fish and accompanied by almost gray green beans, yet it cost 30 euros. And the service was just awkward. Also you have to go up and down a staircase to locate the bathroom. Never again - but did get a good travel story out of it I guess? read more

A palace turned fancy food hall in the heart of Lisbon. This sounds like the stuff of dreams. The decor of Palacio Chiado does not disappoint. 4 girls out on the town on a Saturday night. After putting in our name and being told there was a 45-minute wait for a table (and this was at 10pm!), we found a stylish perch at the sparking wine bar located in the Golden Lion Room on the second floor. The grand staircase, stained glass, and lighting inside the palace bring you right into a Disney movie. And the plastic card they give you upon arrival that allows you to charge all you buy at any of the 8 restaurants gives you way too much oblivious power. Keep in mind that you are still spending your money - even if it's not right away! The sparking wine bar is so lovely. Skip the sangria (the rose one had some strange floral notes that tasted a bit medicinal) and go instead for the straight pours (yes for sparkling red!) and the sparkling wine cocktails that come in hefty goblets (the first one on the menu had a fruit puree which made the flavor and texture unreal). The bartenders were friendly and informative, and it's a great place to hang out and people watch. The process for getting a table in the general seating area is pretty unclear. I don't think most of the staff even understand it. After waiting 50 minutes, we went downstairs and had to ask at least 3 people until we found the girl with "the list" to get our status. It's also unclear which restaurants you can buy from and at which you have to sit at their own tables to eat (it seems like the sushi one does it's own thing). Regardless, after we got our table, we set off to explore our options! Most of the people in my party landed at the meat restaurant. We tried the 2 types of ribs as well as a steak, and all of the cuts were tender, flavorful, and simply divine. The sauces on the side and fries really rounded out the meal. Another friend went the more traditional Portuguese route with shrimp, croquettes, and clams. She enjoyed these as well. But seriously, guys. Get the meat. The prices are very reasonable as well! After your fairytale meal in the palace, you are immediately returned to reality when you leave, as they take your magical plastic card and charge your very real credit card for the total. You then turn into a pumpkin and are let loose into the streets of Lisboa, only to dream of the palace where sparkling wine flows and tender meat awaits. read more

This place is amazing . Reserved a table for a party of 9 for my birthday dinner . Upon arrival we were greeted at the door by host . She offered to take our coats which felt nice . Seating on the 2nd floor is beautiful. Prices on the menu are affordable $17-40. Most expensive steak is $70 . Everything we ordered was tasty . I recommend octopus and lobster linguine . From dessert- pavlova . Our waiter was very detailed and spoke good English. I would come back here for sure ! read more

I enjoyed my dry aged steak. Wine was good as well. Service was a little slow. Food quality did not match the prices.

Stumbled upon this place while strolling around with my boyfriend. Luckily we were able to get a seat with no reservation, but it was probably the least desirable table which made my overall experience not perfect. My advice is if you want to go here for dinner, I highly recommend you make a reservation! I loved the concept of this dining experience - the first floor offered an array of restaurants in one and the second floor was for sushi only (this is based off of what I was told, sorry for not remembering all the details!). I also loved the interior - so beautiful. Seriously felt like we were eating in a grand palace haha. In terms of food, we ordered the seafood experience and the Portuguese steak with a sunny side egg and fries with a side of baked potatoes. The seafood experience was AMAZING!! The oysters were super fresh, the octopus was yummy, the seared tuna was perfect, and the shrimps were so delicious. As for the steak - it was a bit too salty for me. The fries were okay and the side of baked potatoes were awesome. Overall, I highly recommend trying this spot out! If your from a fast pace environment like I am..the service may seem sort of slow, so keep that in mind :) read more

When first impressions can be misleading... we walked in the building on Jan. 1 for dinner, after our favorite choices were fully booked and we couldn't get last minute tables anywhere. We were lucky to find a table at Palácio Chiado, but were not impressed by the ground floor overall layout. Surprise #1: turns out, the ground floor is more of an informal bar/coffee area. Our hostess led us on the 1st floor, in a collection of small rooms, all with different decor and style. We were seated in a high-ish table in one of the rooms surrounded by frescoes and restored drawings from the previous century. The menu was surprise #2: we could select food from 5different themed small restaurants, all hosted in the building. 'Portuguese small plates', seafood (mostly Japanese style), meat selection, healthy/vegetarian and a page full of various ways to cook Cod fish. Really hard to choose. We started with baba ghanush, which was essentially roasted eggplant with lemon and garlic (no tahini). I really liked it, as its spices were complementing nicely the eggplant. For main dish, I selected an octopus quinoa salad (came with arugula and sweet potatoes) and my friend got the chicken with couscous and dried fruit dish. Both well prepared and delicious. Service can be slow, but the place is clean and quiet. I wish I had the chance to try more dishes from the extensive menus. Overall, a lovely experience; this place is a real hidden treasure in Lisbon! read more

Perfect experience. The building is amazing you get the feeling of entering an old castle ,with a staircase, paintings, sculptures and more. The dining room is big so that you feel comfortable when getting to the table , in some restaurants they are trying to put as many tables as possible and it is too busy loaded, not in Palacio Chiado. Service is great , and food above amazing. All experience was perfect , we will come back for sure and recommend to our friends. read more

This place is such an interesting concept, it was great to be able to check it out while we were in town. It was also great for our large group as it provided a lot of options and the ability to have separate checks. For my meal, I decided to go with one of the noodle dishes from the restaurant in the bottom floor and then finished off with some of the gelato from the dessert room. The noodle dish I had was pretty good--nothing mind-blowing, but very decent and a good portion size. I also had the opportunity to try my friend's poke bowl, which also had good flavor and was a nice size for the price. The gelato I had was very tasty--especially the melon flavor, which I normally wouldn't order, but the woman working that counter let me try several flavors before making a selection. Overall, this place is a great concept for a large group and it went pretty seamlessly for us. Food isn't the best in town, but it's pretty good and the wait staff was attentive enough to make it all work. read more

The food here was sooo good. We had the guacamole ceviche. Delicious. I ordered the octopus a la langueira and cleaned the plate.

Not a fan. My husband and I dined here just last night. Here is the full breakdown: Wait: over an hour. This is pretty much as we expected and not the reason for the one star. We had a drink at the bar and enjoyed the beautiful environment. Food: Octopus salad was fine. Actually, the green peppers totally overpowered the octopus. Not really great, not terrible. The melted cheese and bread dish was divine. The tuna tartare was really nice. The spicy poke was really very good, but not spicy. If you are going to call a dish spicy, make it spicy. The steak was good, not amazing. Ordered medium-rare, it was slightly over-cooked. But still a pretty good dish. Drinks: I had a couple of glasses of wine-just fine. My husband took a risk and took the servers advice and ordered a whiskey cocktail with honey and peanut butter. It took a long time to arrive and when it did, he questioned the orange peel twist. The menu had no mention of orange and he said he only tasted orange. He talked to the waiter about it, who then talked to the bartender. They insisted it was correct. My husband did not think the drink was right and it was terrible. I have never in my entire life have a restaurant or bar argue with me over a drink. If it is not right, they have always offered to remake the drink or bring something else. It's a drink. Why make a big deal about it? So is this really worth a "one star review"? In my opinion, yes. What if this was over a $34 steak, or a fine bottle of wine? The arrogance and complete lack of customer service is inexcusable. They may be the cool kids on the block now, but with this attitude towards their customers, I expect their success to be short-lived. read more

Do not recommend - service was terrible and unfriendly, I got food poisoning, and the food was overpriced, particularly for Lisbon. Would recommend finding another option despite the building and atmosphere being a cool concept. read more

It's a beautiful place with food that is executed well. We ordered croquettes and cod carpaccio. The lobster taquitos were my favorite. The host needs to lose his bad attitude. When I asked how long of a wait it was, he got very snippy. There were couple empty tables on the first floor and plenty of tables upstairs so I don't know what the wait was about. A very capable and friendly waitress saved the day. read more

08.27.17: located just a little below the Chiado square is this beautiful restaurant; Palácio Chiado, that has a great dining experience concept. Pre-dining warning/tip: In the event your host/hostess does not communicate this beforehand, each diner will be given a specific dining card - treat this card like your baby and KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE. In the event that the card is lost/misplaced, a mandatory penalty of 150euros is automatically owed to the restaurant - no exceptions. When our server asked to see our card, one of my gf actually had misplaced hers and we immediately freaked out before even giving our first order LOLLL. Thankfully, she traced her tracks and found it in the restroom *phew* Diners may make a reservation ahead of time or wait ~20mins to be seated. Upon entering, you'll enter a beautiful high ceiling filled w/ beautiful staff, a little confectionary (dessert) store to your left and long bar to your right. Guests have the option of either being sat downstairs or upstairs; I sat upstairs but would suggest sitting downstairs as the menu downstairs is more wide. The way the restaurant works is that each room is catered to different dining experiences as the menus for each room differs. Downstairs you have a wider range of menu ranging from oysters to healthy bowls and even poke bowls. Upstairs are 3 separate rooms. The first room is "a la carte" or tapas only. Guest may order off the menu from downstairs to enjoy; however, you'll have to make the order downstairs if sat upstairs. You'll have a little buzzer to bring back to your table and when your food is ready, your sever will run downstairs to grab your meal for you. The second room is what I would describe a charcuterie room loll. Many sections of cured meats, cheese, etc. additionally, there are a few 2-top seating on the balcony - would suggest seating during a sunny afternoon or early evening. The third room is for sushi dining ONLY. So if one guest in your party wants sushi, they'd have to dine alone in that room specially. The upstairs also has a beautiful bar with many specialty cocktails and wine to choose from. From the a la carte menu, we tried the octopus salad and sautéed shrimp; HIGHLY recommend the sautéed shrimp. It's loaded with garlic, thinly sliced red peppers and EVO - all of the good stuff! And you know you'll have to order bread to dip and scrape up pieces of garlic . The octopus salad was different but still enjoyable; I personally prefer a good braised octopus over anything so, I'd leave it to you to choose. We also order 2 bowls from the downstairs menu; chicken, quinoa and spinach bowl and the spicy tuna poke bowl. Both very good and large portions. Would dine here again to try the other menu options in the various rooms and without the pre-dinner scare! read more
