We landed in Lisbon, took a nap and then headed to Lucimar. We wanted to experience what the locals experience and not go to a touristy place and we found it in Lucimar. We were greeted by the owner who walked through the menu and then showed us all his photos of his childhood home and growing up. Gracious is an understatement. We felt like we were walking into a family home. Then the food came. OMG this was the best intro to Portugal. We started with the garlic prawns which were amazing and my fave part of the meal. We ordered the franchescha, cod and cuttlefish. The portions are HUGE. The service was top notch and we want to come back. This is a no brainer. Come here. It is the true Portugal experience as we dined surrounded by all locals. read more

**cash only** What a cozy local spot. My eating partner and I popped in for lunch. We got in at a good time (when they opened) because when we left, the place was full. The menu is translated in English and French. We came here because we wanted to try francesinha. I don't know how other places serve it, but this sandwich was doused in a tomato-based sauce. It was filled with meat, so I think a meat lover would like this. It's also topped with a poached egg. For me, the chili oil helped it go down better. The fries were my favorite!! I loved the fries so much. The other dish I tried was grilled codfish. Another Yelper's photo of the grilled codfish looked different from mine. Mine was served on a bed of potatoes covered in olive oil and sliced raw onions. If this is supposed to be their nicer fish, I'm curious what the "lesser" fish, like sea bream, is served like. Service was good. We were confused whether to pay at the counter because we saw some locals doing it. I'd like to add - I walked an hour to get here XD read more

A can't-miss in Lisbon, a true local spot. First meal off the plane after finding our lodging, came back on our last night to re-try the Portuguese "standards" we had elsewhere, and Lucimar was better than the rest. read more

Happen upon this little place. Nothing fancy however the food is pretty fantastic. Had the prawns in garlic, and the sea bass with vegetables. The prawns was the best we have had in Portugal and the Sea Bass was amazing. The cost of the meal was $26 which included two beers and bread. At the end of the meal they gave us to muscat wines on the house. This is a hidden gem of a place read more

Amazing experience - I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face! Got lucky that a group of locals came with their musical instruments and treated the whole restaurant to several hours of lively Portuguese folk songs. What a festive atmosphere! And the food es delicious too. A night to remember, for sure. read more

We were looking for a locals only restaurant, or at least one that serve red primarily locals and found this place. This place, located in a neighborhood area, serves up some traditional Portuguese fare in a no frills atmosphere. The service was efficient and friendly. The menu basic but had all the traditional Portugese dishes you'd expect. Here's a few of the dishes we had: Francesinha Steak with Coffee Sauce Grilled Cuttlefish Grilled Codfish To top the meal off, they gave us some local liqueur which was a nice touch. read more

We were brought here by our guide to have our last dinner in the city. The guide ordered for us and everything was mostly great. Interesting dishes, local dishes of seafood rice, chorizo, grilled pork etc... More home style in terms of serving size. We were with a guide so communication wasn't an issue. read more

We just completed a week in Portugal and finished with the most economical yet fantastic meal we experienced all week. Four of us had steak, fish, pork, and a combination of all three preceded by a tasty vegetable soup. We finished off with incredible desserts and after dinner aperitifs. I should also add a splendid bottle of wine at an incredible price added to the exceptional experience. The wait staff couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly! read more

Restaurante Lucimar - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Excellent experience on our trip to Lisbon for authentic and delicious Portuguese food.

Got a local recommendation to come here for the infamous Francesinha sandwich! Since this is really a Porto specialty we wanted to choose carefully since Lisbon isn't quite the right place. However, no fear. Lucimar's version is excellent! It was exactly what I imagined it would be and more. To begin with there was the usual range of appetizers, but the olives came with garlic, bay leaf, oregano and oranges. Incredible combination. Bread of course, plus some eggs scrambled with sausage. Obviously it was generously proportioned but the flavors were good as well. The steak was tender and there was plenty of sausage, cheese and sauce (they even gave us extra). Be sure to ask for the house made hot sauce - that stuff is amazeballs. We finished off with some Arroz Doce which is totally worth ordering. The owner brought us some lovely Moscatel de Setubal on the house to finish off. An excellent meal with lovely people in a great little neighborhood spot. Check it out! read more

Restaurante Lucimar - Francesinha!! - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

If you love meat and seafood, this is the place to come! If you love an intimate setting and don't mind making a reservation, this is the place to come! (We were a party of six) If you like being taken care of by the owner and his adorable teenaged son and nephew (super cute 13-year old whom we asked, do you have a girlfriend? No, he says and after a pause, I have two!), this is the place to come! Their bacalao was delicious. It was a good sized piece of cod that was so flaky, tender, flavorful and went well with the potatoes and other thinly sliced veggies. We had vino tinto and tried a variety of desserts, ALL that we loved! The chocolate mousse was my personal favorite. The owner chatted with us and brought us our complimentary peach schnapps, an entire bottle! Overall, it was an excellent experience! read more

Restaurante Lucimar - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Lucimar is a typical local restaurant where you will eat well in a relaxed atmosphere. The staff was always smiling and attentive to the customers. To begin to sweeten the appetite, once you sit down, they will serve the typical Portuguese entrees, bread, and olives. The menu boasts an array of delicious homemade food and at an affordable price. This restaurant was a pleasant surprise, and it's the place to be if you want to eat a very good Francesinha! The service was also quite efficient, fast and friendly. Jose Maria is the face of this business! We felt welcomed and enjoyed the very attentive and friendly staff. You'll want to visit during off-peak meal hours otherwise I recommend you call and make a reservation. read more

Put it on your list! We were staying nearby and chose this pace for dinner based on other TripAdvisor reviews -- thanks All!! We asked the concierge at our hotel if he could make our reservation since we don't speak Portuguese--he said he goes there often and was happy to secure it for us. What a welcoming reception we had upon arriving at the restaurant! It's a true neighborhood gem and the food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Two of us got the Francesinha which is very large, served open-faced and eaten with a fork and knife-- loved it! The grilled steaks were also delicious along with plenty of authentic appetizers. read more

Fantastic food!! My sister and husband moved to Portugal and introduced us to Lucimar. It had a neighborhood feel and the most amazing food, we all want to go back. Service outstanding! Fantastic waiter too! read more

Lucimar is a bit out of the way, but well worth the detour. The setting is fairly intimate and if locals and tourists alike patronize the restaurant, more of the former are present. The cod was excellent and beautifully plated. The alheira de mirandela was also very tasty. I'd be remiss if I did not mention that the waitress (whose name I did not catch, unfortunately) who was working the evening we went to Lucimar was fantastic: attentive yet discreet, truly an asset for Lucimar!!! read more

I stumbled upon this place on a food tour ( local guide). I hated every single thing ( except eggtart and sweets) I had eaten in Lisbon up to this point... This place changed everything. We got Octopus salad, some egg dish, stuffings, AND COD. OMG, THE BEST COD I EVER HAD. It was the best place we ate when we were in Lisbon... it was filled with locals ( families, etc) and looked like it would be impossible to book. However, they eat dinner late in Portugal ( Just like Spain), so if you go before 7-8pm, you can probably just walk in... Do yourself a favor!! EAT HERE! read more

Fantastic restaurant with authentic Portuguese food. The francesinha here is to die for...why this has not been on every menu in the United States is beyond me. It is a wonderful flavor bomb sandwich that will cure any appetite. The beer and tomato sauce on the sandwich is killer. On top of that they provide a homemade hot pepper oil which made the course even better! My fiance ordered the cuddlefish, and loved it. We also ordered the hot bread with cheese and honey to start the meal...which was delicious. To end the meal you are given a complementary Moscato which was a perfect way to close off the main courses. As we were sipping on the dessert wine, we struck up a conversation with the owner Joses, who is beyond kind and delightful. He is also extremely knowledgable about wine and we learned a great deal about Portuguese wine in particular. If you want a great Portuguese meal with the home cooked feel, make sure you come to this restaurant. You will not be dissapointed. Do note that we ate around 5:30-6pm since this place gets packed around 8. We had tried to come the day prior, but the wait was 40 min. There was no wait at 5:30 since this is a bit early for dinner in Portugal read more

Restaurante Lucimar - Amazing Francesinha with a killer sauce! - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Excellent example of Portuguese cuisine. We had the Francesinha which is actually from Porto but amazingly rich to eat for dinner. Consider sharing. Wine is inexpensive and in fact the whole dinner with wine was inexpensive. The service is excellent and attentive. Highly recommended! In a residential neighborhood so odd but just explore and so worth it. Reservations recommended or go during the early evening slump. read more

By no means is this a fancy gourmet restaurant, but it is a great local place with a wonderful, generous, staff and delicious Portoghese food. We came away from the meal happy and satisfied. Was even thinking of going back again the next night, it was that pleasant. read more

Our first night in Lisbon, suffered through crappy plane food after travelling 24 hours to get here. This restaurant was a 5 min walk from our AirBNB. It was awesome and the wait staff very nice. We arrived around 7:40 PM (very early), but 8:30 the line was out the door. We never felt rushed, our food arrived hot and delicious. We will make it back again before we leave. read more
