Needed lunch and there are plenty of places in this area where they try to draw you in to eat. The prices were reasonable and they had items we wanted to try so we stopped in. Unfortunately , it was too cold to eat outside so we ate inside. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful given our lack of Portuguese skills. I ordered the grilled sardines, which were good but a real challenge to eat. I wanted to try them while in Portugal. My wife got the pasta carbonara, which was good though the one we make is better. Overall a decent experience nothing great. read more

Enjoyed the complementary shot glasses of Ginja at the end of our meal. Sardines and carbonara were solid. Waitress was very friendly. We also had an olive starter. Washroom is in the basement read more

After arriving to Lisbon from Lagos, my wife and I were looking for a place to have dinner. If you have ever walked the streets of Lisbon, you know that there is a plethora of restaurants to choose from. While approaching the end of a street, an employee emerged from within a restaurant called Peixaria do Rosso. The friendly woman handed over a menu, and ushered us over to a vacant table within their outdoor seating area. After looking over the menu, we placed an order for food (I ordered an entree and the Parmesan stuffed chicken with mashed potatoes) and for a bottle of wine. Being that we're not familiar with Portuguese wines, we randomly selected a white wine called Mar Salgado (translated in English as "the great salt sea"). Shortly after, the same employee brought the bottle of wine, uncorked it, and poured a very small amount for my wife and I to taste. Upon tasting it, we realized that it was not to our liking (that's the nicest way that I can put it), and politely asked the employee if she could send it back. Since the employee did not speak English well (respectfully), another employee came to our table to inquire about our request. I politely explained to this employee that we would like to have the wine sent back, and would like another selection that was on the menu. The employee made note of the new bottle that we wanted to order and five minutes later returned to our table with her manager. Now I understand that customer service is handled differently based on location; however, I felt like she should have informed us that she was consulting with her manager. Jose (manager), in a condescending manner, began explaining to me how the process of purchasing a bottle of wine in Portugal works. He explained that once the bottle is opened, he cannot sell it to another customer (clearly a no-brainer); therefore, he would be taking a loss (please keep in mind that I have an MBA-I say this with a humble heart) on the bottle if he allowed us to send it back. What Jose failed to realize is that he would not have to take a loss on the bottle. Since the wine that we selected (Mar Salgado) was offered on the menu with the option to purchase by glass or bottle, Jose could simply cork the bottle and sell the remaining portion by the glass (look at me giving away free business tips). My wife and I were so perturbed by the unprofessional manner in which Jose handled this matter, that we honestly cannot recall how the food tasted. Additionally, we observed the disgusting manner in which Jose interacted with his staff (his staff were maneuvering around him as if he had an invisible whip that he could crack at any moment). I think I would be giving anyone a disservice if I recommended this establishment to them. Hopefully, Jose will eventually learn that no matter their origins, you should treat paying customers with respect. read more

Peixaria do Rossio - Please read my review if you're interested in how this bottle impacted our experience at this restaurant... :) - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Gambas were great. The risotto and the pork were a fail. Servers were great but the person that seated us kept banging menus together to get the attention of people walking past. My drink was not great. Awesome location read more

This was the worst meal we had in Portugal. We should have known when they were trying to hustle us inside. The fish did not taste fresh and my daughter's linguini with clams was disgusting. my husband's carbonara was also bad. To top it off the service was bad- wait staff ignored us. Again worst meal we had in Portugal. read more

Definitely caters to tourists, but it was conveniently located when were hungry. My friend had the Risotto which looked delicious, I had the burger and it was delicious. The chocolate cake was different than American chocolate cake but very good. I would go back again. Friendly staff and good services. read more

Peixaria do Rossio - Grilled Cod and Linguine Clam and Mussel - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Highly recommended by our tour leader/guide, who took us to Fatima town in Portugal. In the middle of the historic site in Lisbon, we find this adorable and petit restaurant. Our server Farooq was amazing. He was polite, friendly and attentive to our needs. Since Portugal is very well known for their cod fish. Our first dish was cod à la lagareieo (with Swiss chard, cod fish, olive oil, drizzled with s/p and sprinkled with fried garlic) and side dish potatoes. Delicious (8.5/10). Second cod dish (smashed with vegetables and cod fish, with cheese gratin). Succulent (9/10). Prices were reasonable. Definitely recommended! read more

I would avoid this place if possible!!! We got off the train and picked this place, got seated ordered drinks and starters. Finally got our drinks beer and water. Starters arrived after patiently waiting after flagging down our waiter, approximately hour. Cheese board and calamari. Food was average at best. The rest of the meals ok except the Octopus dish that they're known for. Under cooked and not very appealing to the eye. The whole thing was about 2 hours. read more

Be Aware - they will charge you in USD vs Euros without asking and at a not so great conversion. When I told them I wanted in Euro the waitress said it was when it clearly stated 'transaction currency USD'. I called over the manager and he said he could not change it. When I loudly complained he went inside and gave me Euros to make up for the poor conversion. I try to avoid places that try to scam you. read more

Food was really good. service ok Ambiance good . I'm sure we will be back soon. Sandi the waitress does a great job

This is 80% the first waiter I had and 20% the sausage plate/glass of rose I had. The waiter was fairly rude. Told me he'd put in an order of fish for me and didn't know the price. (I was just looking at the menu and had been distracted by a massive protest outside). Once I said I'd look at the menu to decide he was not happy. I ordered what I thought was a glass of wine when he brought out a bottle, and he was annoyed when I asked for a glass of dry wine instead. Their selection of glass only is pretty bad. Eventually I got a sweetish rose and plate of so-so sausage. Didn't want a full meal here. The next waiter who closed me out was nice and fixed my bill, which still had the full bottle on it. He's the reason I have two stars instead of one. read more

We stumbled upon this resturant and before we walked in we checked the reviews on Yelp which weren't very many so I decided to write one myself so that others might have the opportunity to enjoy this resturant as did my wife and I. We were greeted by a courteous waiter and immediately seated, however, it was located in the basement due to all al fresco and main dining room tables were occupied which in itself is usually a good sign. The basement in October,however, was a bit warm and that would be my only small complaint. Our waitress was Claudia, and we asked her for a recommendation and she replied with the grilled fish which was severed with a side of julienne vegetables and rice. It ran $38 euro and was sufficient for both my wife and I. I had a beer and my wife settled on rose wine. All in all good food and service. Aproveite sua comida. read more

A comida era boa, o serviço era padrão para a área. No geral, eu teria ficado satisfeito com o restaurante se não fosse pelo gerente. Hora do almoço de um sábado às 15h21 do dia 30 de julho. Chamo o gerente até a mesa para informá-lo que o restaurante é bonito, a comida é boa e o serviço padrão; no entanto, o que me chamou a atenção foi que uma vez liguei para o gerente do restaurante para avisá-lo que havia encontrado uma pequena barata em cima da minha mesa. Apenas para chamar sua atenção para o fato de que tal coisa estava acontecendo, ele não apenas foi condescendente ao me dizer: "oh, isso é apenas a natureza", e "eu falo oito línguas". Ótimo para ele. Tal façanha só é alcançada por pessoas de grande inteligência e habilidades que me desconcertam uma resposta tão grosseira e ignorante ao que simplesmente era um chamado de atenção. Pouco a dizer que vindo dos EUA, ouvir apenas coisas boas sobre o local e ser tratado pelo gerente de maneira tão desrespeitosa, condescendente e desconfortável não apenas me desencorajou, mas também prejudicou minha experiência no que considerei ser o ápice da hospitalidade lisboeta. Espero que isso se resolva e um dia, depois de esquecer tanto desconforto, possa voltar e desfrutar de um verdadeiro Polvo a lagreiro lisboeta. Por enquanto, minhas desculpas, mas eu não vou voltar. Ps: No livro de reclamaçoes vai ter um comentario semelhante. read more

To preface: if I could, I would give this place 4.5 Our first waitress was a little rude and curt, but the food was overall very tasty. However, midway through our meal, our original waitress was replaced with one of the most charismatic waiters ever. He was an absolute riot, and gave us nightlife advice. He is the reason I gave this place a 5 As far as food goes, the codfish cake was delicious, and the salmon fillet was one of the best we had on our 3 week long trip. read more

We popped in for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised by the friendly waiter, Hasan. It's been our experience here in Lisbon that they are not that fond of tourists but Hasan made us feel welcomed and was eager to please. We asked that they grill our ham and cheese croissant and he made sure it was done. It was absolutely delicious. The rest of the breakfast was tasty as well and for only 8€ all inclusive (coffee, OJ, eggs, bacon & croissant.) read more
