    Baba de Camelo
    Lauren T.

    We visited Laurentina on our first and last nights in Lisbon. The seafood was the best we had while in the city and the cod was light, flaky, and flavorful. On the first night, we ordered the octopus salad and the cod cakes as appetizers. The octopus was tender, buttery, and well-prepared with the vegetables and sauce it came in. The cod cakes were crispy and savory. As a main, we ordered the Bacalhau Lascado Especial with potatoes in their jackets, hardboiled egg, onions, and peppers. The cod was salty, but not overly so, and the oil was light. For the second night, we ordered the smoked sausage, a samosa, a mini cod pie, the cod cakes, and the octopus salad. Again, everything was delicious, although the samosa wasn't as impressive as everything else. The octopus salad remains my favorite. We ordered the Bacalhau com Natas e Espinafres (Cod with Cream and Spinach) as our main and it was bliss. It's baked in a pan, and the top is a layer of crispy scalloped potatoes that are also baked throughout the dish. The cod, spinach, and cream sauce mixes together beautifully. For dessert, we had the Baba de Camelo at our server's recommendation. It was good--a sort of caramel pudding with toffee topping--but not as good as the rest of our meal. The house rosé, which we ordered both nights, was delicious and inexpensive. The service was excellent and it's a romantic restaurant with a mix of modern and traditional decor (sturdy lighting and hand painted dishes, fish coat hooks, comfortable chairs, and fake plants). This is a great date night spot! The music and atmosphere are romantic, and the servers will take good care of you.

    Laurentina serves some of the best "bacalhau" (Portuguese salted cod fish) I've ever had. Maybe the very best. I chuckle when I read some of the negative reviews posted by tourists, complaining that their cod fish is too salty. That's like criticizing pizza for having cheese. Or bemoaning a burger for containing a beef patty. "Bacalhau" is in essence salted cod. It's supposed to be salty! If it's too salty for you, then don't eat Portuguese style "bacalhau." The service was excellent and their steak was very good. But the "bacalhau" is the star, served in a multitude of varieties. And for an appetizer, I highly recommend their "pastéis de bacalhau."

    Pretty good. Not sure if because I went there solo so they did not offer me bread and appetizers. I had to ask for the bread. From previous remarks, bread was free but they charged me € .50 for it, which is ok, it went nicely with the entree.

    Hands down an amazing meal. Everything was delicious, the service was outstanding! The restaurant is charming and quiet even with lots of people. The octopus dish was the best I've ever had - tender and perfectly prepared. I will dream about this octopus dish

    Restaurante Laurentina was near the hotel at which we were staying and we wanted to try something unique to Portuguese cuisine, so we ended up here for dinner. It really was a 5 star meal with wonderfully friendly and attentive service from our waitperson, but the initial wait was rather negative. We went without reservations (popular, so you should put in for them) so when the hostess said a 5 minute wait, that was more than acceptable. The problem was, after our 5 minutes and then some, another couple walked in and announced they didn't have reservations. They chatted up the hostesses and, lo and behold, got seated before we did. After that, several parties came in with reservations, so we ended up having to wait some more (understandable for those with ressies). Our wait ended up being more like 20 to 25 minutes. But, once our waitperson came to our table, he made the evening much better. He was very professional but friendly. He commented on the food we ordered and voiced his approval. He stayed at our table at the end of the meal and chatted a bit; just an all around nice guy! Now, the food. We ordered 3 dishes to share: two starters and a cod dish since they're known for their cod preparation. We had the octopus salad (oh, so good. Tender, delicious rounds and smaller pieces of octopus marinated in olive oil, vinegar and herbs, mixed with green and red bell peppers. So delectable! The second starter was the dish of Lauentina Shrimp, served in a creamy sauce that was delicately seasoned. The shrimp were served whole except for part of the body shell that was taken off; it was very easy to peel the head and tail off before eating. The main dish was one of their specialties; a cauldron of cod, cabbage, chard, and potatoes cooked in a nice sauce. The cod and the veggies were so moist and tender. Had a healthy feel to it because of the load of veggies. Our waitperson served each of us a helping before I could get a picture as it came out from the kitchen. Again, delicious! So, when you're in Lisbon and want some Portuguese cuisine, make a reservation and dine here!

    Off the beaten path and away from the old town parts of Lisbon which is a nice departure. Make reservations and they open at 7:00. Cod, cod, cod-the speciality of Portugal is the thing you go here for. Cod prepared many traditional ways in a traditionally designed restaurant. Service was very good, food was delicious and huge portions. I'd probably share the main course next time as neither of us could finish our meal. My only complaint is the food is very salted.... ie. salted cod! That's a personal preference thing as I'm not into too much salt but when in Rome...

    If you want to try Portugal's famous salted cod, this is the place to go! So much cod is on the menu and there's something for everyone. I ordered the stacked potato, spinach, cod dish and my husband ordered the cod with cabbage and potato. Note that the 1/2 portion and full portion on the menu is really: portion for 1 person, portion for 2 people. My husband got the cod for two and it was... a LOT of cod. The kitchen congratulated him for finishing. We did end the night with the house cream brûlée which was good. Looks like they used to have fado music but not any more.

    A friend and I stopped by Laurentina for an impromptu dinner. We didn't have a reservation, but they squeezed us in really quick. The service was incredible and the food was just plain bananas. We had the Bacalhau (because you must!). It was absolutely delicious. And given how nice the meal was, the price was astoundingly low.

    Fantastic but a little weird at the start. We showed up on the earlier side of Portugese dinner time and waited along with 2 or 3 other parties near the bar area. A host came one by one and seated the parties with 5 minutes or so in between. I figured they were busy already since this is apparently THE most famous bachalau place in Portugal. However, once we got in, the place was still mostly empty. Not sure what the big show was about making us wait. It was good we got there early though since the place did fill up pretty fast. The menu had at least half dozen different preparations of bachalau. We chose a grilled one that came with potatoes and a huge helping of broccoli rabe. NOTE: menu lists 1/2 portion and full portion. The full is meant for TWO people to share family style. It was seriously 1 1/2ish pounds of fish!

    Our Bolt driver who grew up in Lisbon suggested this restaurant. And the restaurant did not disappoint. It's menu is full of cod fish - Bacalhau - dishes. Fish probably came right off the North Atlantic. It tasted fresh. Everything was good. Kids loved the cod fish pancakes. And the samosas! Service was great and ambience was fantastic. We were riding the Bolt from Jerónimos Monastery towards our hotel near the airport and this hotel was on the way. So it was perfect. We called in to reserve. They open at 7pm. There were people that lined up prior to 7. So I'm glad we reserved. They had an English menu on our table even before we were seated. Nice experience!

This was our first official meal in Lisbon, a reservation for 9:45 pm dinner on a Wednesday, and it was a great introduction to Portuguese food. The street at the entrance was empty and quiet, and there weren't many people inside, presumably because it was late. Service was excellent, they were very nice, told us to take our time despite our late reservation. Pumpkin soup was the appetizer, and it was delicious. Creamy and hearty but somehow not heavy, with some tomato and meaty flavor that went well with the sweet pumpkin. Comes with some seeds and bread that you can dip the soup with. 5/5 Octopus-comes with some green peppers, quinoa, and a tomato paste/puree that gives it a light, slightly sweet, slightly spicy taste that went very well with the octopus. This is a great summer dish. Interestingly the thin end of the octopus was not that crispy, maybe that was the intention, but the entire tentacle taste and texture was pretty homogenized. 4.5/5 Risotto- also has pumpkin, but more savory with cheese and butter, topped with leek and I belive has mushrooms. Not sure how they're getting away with using heavy ingredients coming together to become a light dish, but they're pulling it off perfectly. Price was also very reasonable. We did get asked about tip, which not all restaurants in Lisbon do, but we felt tip was deserving at this establishment.

At the same time, his service was top-notch: attentive without being overbearing, helpful with recommendations, and clearly passionate about what he does. Great food is one thing, but when you pair it with service like that, it turns into a memorable experience. Highly recommend--and if you get Bernardo, you're in for a great time.

They have wines at three price points, we got a really nice bottle of red called Pops reserve. For the tapas, we ordered the assorted cheeses, octopus risotto, duck breast with chips (not normally on the menu), and ceviche. All were superb. We started with the duck and ceviche. The duck was braised perfectly and seasoned well, wonderful. Then the ceviche had swordfish and tuna. I am not normally a sword fan, but this was very tasty. Next up were the cheese and risotto. The risotto was incredible, buttery and delicious. The cheese plate had 5 cheeses of different intensity. All were great, particularly the goat ones. It came with a pumpkin jam which I had never had before, but was very good. I definitely recommend this place
