Staff was friendly and the dishes sounded tasty, but the food wasn't my style. They also own the wine bar around the corner which is a nice place for a drink before dinner. read more

This one came highly recommended on Eater and other YouTube sources. It's very hip and chic but not pretentious and with really cool vibes plus the gorgeous plants all around. The reason for the 3 stars is because the food was a bit of hit or miss. Some wow'd while others fell flat as we ordered about 5 dishes. Waiter was very helpful and friendly though. I do recommend making that reservation on their site because even on a weeknight, this place got full. Quality: 3/5 stars Service: 5/5 stars Value: 3/5 stars read more

The moment you walk into Prado, you feel light - and the food is no exception. Definitely reminiscent of a Scandinavian approach when it comes to the food - lots of seafood, subtle smoky and clean flavors - nothing greasy and oily which I loved. Must orders: - the sourdough (the bread was killer), - smoked eel with melon, cucumber and almond cream: so fresh and light, had so many layers but was very lovely - cockles, chard, coriander and fried bread: did not expect much from this dish but wow - such bold smoky flavors, this was fantastic - mushroom ice cream with a caramel and pearl barley: this definitely made me pause when I saw it on the menu but ORDER THIS! Somehow the umami mushroom flavor worked really well with the sweet salty caramel and the chewy barley texture. I still think about this dessert from time to time sigh Others (good but can skip if you have to choose): - sardine, Lardo, toast: good starter to order - cured amberjack with crispy seaweed: alright, nothing memorable but good - line caught Hake, courgette and mussels: this was good - very fresh and light if you want a fish main - acorn fed pork, turnips: the pork was good, the turnip purée was a bit gloopy and glue-y though Skip: - oyster mushroom, massa pimiento, buckwheat: had such high expectations but this was waaayyyy too salty Overall, Prado was great!!! Definitely worth going to and coming back to! read more

Prado restaurant is overrated. The ambiance is average, the service is impeccable, the food is okay. Yes it has a Michelin star as for location and the hype that you just have reservations - walked in w no reservations and got seated. Looking at a wall, as it was the only table and the general manager was not polite in fact arrogant - I see she takes pride in her job but doesn't take note of patrons that just want a good meal and enjoy the company. Had the chefs menu (tuna belly was old tasted fishy and had a smell to it) ; the quail egg did not compliment the dish by itself if you're allergic to pork; no accommodations were made if you have allergies - quail egg w marron was bland and no flavor. the mushroom custard was the only thing on the menu worth raving about - however on overall chefs menu - the seasoning was either lacking or it was too much. The textures of the chicken w chicken flakes did not flow - it was too salty - and I ate a lot of bread to balance it out. Sadly I placed water to dilute the flavors of salt. I would not attend again as the general manager was not welcoming and had a chip on her shoulder - food is a hit or miss - some dishes are delicious while others lack seasoning or abundance of - clean place - servers knew their cuisine well and could explain all Ingredients that went into it - decor is okay (clean and looks modern but it's lacking energy for the price you pay- staff was stiff and had no personality ).... I'm happy I got a Chance to try it once. Service -10 Food-5 hit or miss on some dishes Ambiance - 6 Decor - 7 Noise - 4 (acoustics carry very loud in back room - much of white noise) Overall 6 Bathroom cleanliness - 10 read more

There's a lot of hype around Prado, and I was so excited to snag a reservation far in advance. The space is airy and hipster, and I expected a Michelin experience (as it's a Michelin guide restaurant). If you follow my reviews, you know I tend to be a very optimistic diner and reviewer, and this is one of those rare times that I am writing a review where quite disappointed with the food. Nothing I ordered was memorable enough to write about, from the toast to the special to the dessert. The service was courteous, but not as top notch and knowledgeable as I'd expect from this quality of a restaurant. I notified my server of the fact that I cannot tolerate dairy, and she went over with me the few dishes I could order within my dietary restriction. I ordered an item that she assured me was dairy-free, and my first bite was filled with crème fraîche. She acknowledged that she felt terrible and immediately remedied the situation, but that wasn't the kind of service I expected. Later, I overheard one of the servers ask the other, "What is chard?" and I had to stop myself from laughing because that's not a good sign when a server doesn't know a listed ingredient on a short menu at this price point. If you're traveling to Lisbon for a special occasion and looking for alternative fancy experiences that actually match their fame with deliciousness, I'd recommend going to any of the José Avillez restaurants instead. read more

Described as celebrating "the best Portugal has to offer, from sea to land," Prado has quickly emerged as one of Lisbon's most talked about Restaurants, and although it lacks Michelin Stars or the refinement of Belcanto both the Food and experience are exceptional. Owned and operated by Chef Antonio Galapito, a man whose connections to local farmers and fishermen allows unfettered "farm to table" ideals to flourish, it is immediately on entry that guests will note high ceilings and lush greenery decorating the former 19th-century factory. Pleasant in terms of service, a lack of pretense emanating from two young women and a small kitchen, menus feature little more than a list of Ingredients based on the notion that "if it's not in season, it's not on the table." Organized top-to-bottom by size, two bites of Sardine atop Lardo Toast with Parsley and a skewered Quail Egg beneath shaved Ham each explosive yet balanced, it was in follow-up that softened Chard shined in Cockles with their Coriander-scented Broth and Fried Bread for texture. Continuing in a seemingly straightforward manner, though nothing about roasted Butternut Squash layered around a Puree of the same with creamy Sauce, Seeds and Flowers tastes "simple," Squid from Azores next found itself ribboned like Fettuccine amidst diced Spuds and Butter with a decidedly porky linger. Difficult decisions in abundance, but a place where solos or large groups will be equally comfortable, savories culminated with Cabbage, Trotters and Whelks before a big scoop of Mushroom Ice Cream doused in Caramel with toothsome Barley adding a nutty, roasted note. Just €64 for eight items, each thought provoking yet delicious, lunch concluded with Brioche soaked in Port and creamy/crunchy Hazelnuts plus a silky veil of Zabaglione that, as a whole, invigorated every part of the palate. read more

Must be a really unpopular restaurant for them to charge 25 Euros per person to cancel a reservation. They claim that a lot of work goes into providing a great experience for their guests and by cancelling late or not showing up we won't have time to fill those seats and provide that experience to other guests. My wife experienced severe pain from plantar fasciitis after almost 3 hours of walking on a tour of Alfama. There were no reservations to be had earlier than the one we booked at 19:00 or any other time up until closing. So we had to cancel and return to our hotel and we got charged 50 Euros. DINERS BE AWARE YOU TOO COULD FALL INTO THEIR MONEY MAKING TRAP. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Deve ser um restaurante realmente impopular para eles cobrarem 25 euros por pessoa para cancelar uma reserva. Eles afirmam que muito trabalho é necessário para proporcionar uma ótima experiência para seus convidados e, cancelando tarde ou não aparecendo, não teremos tempo para preencher esses assentos e fornecer essa experiência a outros convidados. Minha esposa sentiu fortes dores de fascite plantar depois de quase 3 horas de caminhada em um passeio por Alfama. Não havia reservas a serem feitas antes daquela que reservamos às 19:00 ou em qualquer outro horário até o fechamento. Então tivemos que cancelar e voltar ao nosso hotel e fomos cobrados 50 euros. DINERS FIQUEM CIENTES DE QUE VOCÊ TAMBÉM PODE CAIR NA ARMADILHA DE GANHAR DINHEIRO. read more

Outstanding food, service and setting at this restaurant that is off the main drag near the Cathedral. Farm to table menu focused on local purveyors is inventive and full of interesting and delicious flavors and textures. Our family of four ate through most of the menu and enjoyed every dish. The squid, Alentejano pork and mushroom ice cream were standouts. Enjoyed an orange wine for the first time as well. The waitress took the care to mark up an English menu for us to denote the items to avoid for the food allergies my son has. Photos of the dishes we ate are attached - as beautiful as it was delicious! May get Michelin recognition soon.. get there before the crowds do! read more

The staff were welcoming to a solo diner, and offered a table by the window overnight the street. The food was delicate, tasty and well executed. I had the pardon pepper, dashi, sesame & lime / beetroot, nectarine vinaigrette, ham & arugula / great amberjack tartare, strawberry, chilli pickle & basil / dolce de leche flan. read more

This was a great find. The dishes are extremely creative. Fusion cuisine for sure. Friday night with reservations still brought a bit of a wait and then we were seated in the back on the left. Our wait staff was impeccable and knowledgeable throughout the evening. The ambiance was hip with guests from everywhere, from Australian to American. The way the ceiling is built amplifies the sound and with music on top of things, it's hard to hear your own conversations at your table. Loved the presentation of the dishes. Three of us had about 3 each as the portions are small. Very exotic ingredients at times that I had to google like Pleurotus (type of mushroom). I'd say most of the dishes were delicious. Loved the desserts as well. read more

This farm-to-table restaurant has a nice atmosphere and offers fresh & local ingredients. However, we left disappointed because the flavors were not properly executed. For instance, what sounded spicy on the menu (sea bream with tomato dashi and jalapeños) tasted pretty bland. And some dishes were completely taken over by a single ingredient--the smoked eel with Portuguese cabbage and parsley tasted like a cabbage salad with little to no hint of eel. I don't think Prado deserves the hype it receives, and we will not come back. read more

The food was not very good. We got the fried milk and mushroom ice cream options for dessert and they were unpleasant. The one dish that was amazing though was the selection in the photo I uploaded. I can't remember what it was called. The lamb dish was good too! All in all, the service was fantastic, and the white wine that was selected for us was amazing! The menu just needs improvement. read more

Amazing! Every dish was better than the last and the presentation was incredible. Would highly recommend.

One of the best restaurants we visited in Lisbon. The food was truly amazing, especially the acorn-fed pork, the amberjack starter, the bread and all of its fixings, and - hear me out - the mushroom ice cream with barley and caramel. I know it sounds weird but it was super. Highly recommend! read more

INCREDIBLE! The food here is so good. Everything was farm to table. They only cook the local vegetables and seafood which are in season. Our favorite was the butternut squash dish and the mushroom ice cream. If I go back to Lisboa, I'm making it a point to eat here at least 1-2 times in the next trip! Really amazing food! read more

First the good: a lovely space with greenery and big windows providing lots of light. Lastly the bad: the food was mostly tasteless. Prawns with seaweed butter were uninteresting, and were even inconsistently cooked. Beef tartare was the rare highlight of the 4 plates we sampled. Additionally, staff were consistently upselling beverages and additional plates which became a bit tiring. Would not go again but with menu changes you may have better luck! read more

Would not let us cancel reservation unless 12 hrs for $50, even though was a holiday and terrible to get there no urber blocked streets hard to find. Most of staff was unfriendly, w attitude, food was expensive, tasted like fake smoke favor, very small potions, staff pushy and pork dish was so bad tough & to rare even though we we asked for medium. Staff knew we were unhappy but couldn't care less. I think bill was around $ 120. Do not go!!!! read more

This was our first, and so far our BEST, meal in Lisbon. The service is so friendly and the food is sublime, creative and soooooo flavorful!! The wine list has a lot of interesting choices and the servers can talk about wine as well as they can about the interesting dishes. Don't miss this fabulous restaurant! Amazing! read more

This was one of the most absurd dining experiences of my entire life. We got to this place just as it was opening and asked if they had a table and they asked if we had a reservation and we said no and they said the only table we have is this one upfront and we said that's fine and we sat down. The initial service and ambience was very nice, and the butternut squash and beef tartines were very good. The sardine toasts were OK but were covered by this strange jelly that I had to remove because it creeped me out. Next comes the lobster. Now I am an avid seafood eater and I love seaweed so a dish called lobster with seaweed rice did not scare me. But let me tell you the entire dish tasted like you were drinking ocean water. You couldn't taste the lobster because it was completely overwhelmed by this goopy green, seaweed rice that was drenched in seaweed flavor, and it was honestly one of the most disgusting things I've ever tasted in my life. Now I didn't say this to the waiter because I didn't want to be rude, but neither my husband or myself could stomach the seaweed covered lobster so we, after taking one bite each, politely asked them to take it back and asked if we could exchange it for something else because we couldn't eat it. We got the pork as a replacement. They asked if medium rare was OK and I said no medium please. In a very rookie move by the kitchen, they delivered two pieces of meat that were clearly of different thickness so one of them was cooked well done, and the other one was completely raw on the inside. At this point, I was just irritated and wanted to get out of there and still disgusted by the lobster so we just finished that improperly cooked pork and asked for the bill. We saw that they had charged us for the lobster which we figured it was a mistake, so we brought it to our waitresses attention. She then proceeded to tell us that they were charging us, because there was nothing wrong with it and it was just a personal preference. I said I am not paying for something we didn't eat. She continued to argue with me, which, at this point is the absurd part, because never in my entire life, have I ever had a restaurant ask me to pay for something that I couldn't eat. Just wait, it gets better. I continue to tell her that we sent it back because it was absolutely disgusting and not edible and then I'm not paying for something I couldn't eat. She CONTINUES TO ARGUE, now, saying that well, she went through the trouble to give us a table, even though we didn't have a reservation, as if that somehow justifies feeding us disgusting food, and then making us pay for it. It's not like we begged for the table or she had to pull any strings. We simply asked for a table and she said yeah I have one and that was the end of it. I stated, yet again I am not paying for some thing I couldn't eat, and she finally took it off the bill but wow that was the most absurd experience and the food is definitely not worth it. The butternut squash dish was delicious and the ambience was nice but the rest of the horror of the experience especially for the price is what gives this place a one star review. Would definitely not recommend it is not worth any of the hype. Stay away. The "medium" (raw) pork is pictured. read more

Our recent dining experience at Prado fell short of our expectations. Service was wonderful, very warm and welcoming. The food, however, was somewhat bland. Taste and textures not as good as we were expecting from a Michelin star restaurant. read more

Our time at prado started a bit rough however, greatly improved. To begin, make reservations!! We saw a few couples just walk in and we're not able to get a table, a fairly reservation only restaurant. We arrived for our 7pm reservation right as they opened, being only the second table to walk in for the evening, they brought us to a small little room off of the main beautiful dinning room with the recognizable hanging plants and lights. We thought this was really rude to just throw us in the back even with a month prior reservation. We asked to move tables and who we believe was the manager was a bit rude about the situation despite literally all the tables open but one. Eventually we did get moved to a nice table in the dinning room. We ordered the sourdough bread and spreads, homemade chorizo, chicken, beef stew and white fish in cauliflower purée. For dessert we tried the coffee flan with hazelnuts. For a cocktail, the pink Negronis were delicious drinks. Everything was tasty, flavors were amazing however a bit pricey for the amount of food as the portions were very small, especially to be considered sharing plates. I would recommend the bread, the chicken dish and the beef stew, those were the most outstanding dishes of our night. Our server was incredibly nice, the gentleman explained every dish as it came out and had great consistency in his service. Prado was definitely an experience, but not sure it was an experience i would have to do again. read more

Prado didn't have seats available for 2 hours, so we went around the corner to their other restaurant, Prado Mercearia (which is misrepresented on google with a supermarket icon (??!)). As the folks at Prado say, the same great food in a smaller setting. It was very creative, tasty and excellent!! read more

The top restaurant to go when in Lisbon. Don't miss the experience of fine quality dining Prado will provide you. I went there thinking it would be just another fine dinner out and I left the restaurant wanting to return the next day and the next and the next. Everything from the starters to the dessert ( and I'm not a sweet tooth I must say!) is to die for. The menu changes constantly because they only serve seasonal ingredients. I will definitely return when my wallet allows it! read more

The space is lovely, the wait staff is the best, I love the concept, loved the wine list. But. The chef may have been having an off night as my friend who recommended it raved about her experiences there. However, I found the food to be ... monotonous -- in spice profiles (most dishes were based on ham broth and lacked anything else), in color (mostly beige), and in texture (all chopped, most the same size, missing crunch, etc.). I missed vibrant taste, acidity, brightness ... it just wasn't very interesting, honestly. But, again, it may have just been an off night. read more

Nice airy space. The tables are too close together for my tastes. The plates are teensy but not overly expensive. Some are great and others are not. We had some interesting sour cabbage with toasted grains as well as a delicious cut of juicy pork with fresh herbs. The homemade bread is outstanding. A semi-warm amberjack sashimi dish was chewy and awful. The mushroom ice cream with caramel and barley was totally delicious and unique (one of the best desserts I've had in a long, long time). The service isn't bad. We gave our feedback regarding the sashimi dish and they seemed pretty adamant that the issue was with our tastebuds. Other than that, the service was fine. Pretty friendly. The bathroom door is intentionally hidden in a wall, which I guess in theory is supposed to be cute but is actually kind of annoying and disorienting in practice. I don't know if they do lunch, but I'm sure that the room is amazing during the day. Lots of windows for natural light. read more

Not bad. Some of the dishes are amazing, some less so. Quite expensive for the portions and what it was. Deserts were really delicious.

Great restaurant, every single dish was a pleasant surprise; Pleurotus is a vegetarian dish that promises the taste of smoked bacon with zero pork. The free range chicken thigh is so tender as if it's raw but it is deliciously cooked appetizing. It is creative with great service and the waiters know exactly what to offer you from best dishes and wines. read more

Great place for tapas and excellent wine. Excellent place for lunch. Good selection and great ambiance.

The food was extraordinary, the best I have eaten in Portugal so far. Modern cuisine at a reasonable price for the nuance and sophistication of the flavors provided. Tapas style food with light servings that still provided a satisfyingly filling meal. Standouts were the seared tuna belly, mushroom ice cream and the restaurants own beer colab with a local company that included plums. A culinary experience of the highest order wood highly recommend if you seek the best service and better food. read more
