Cod fish tasted good - not heavy - small portions
Mary L.

Food tastes good. Small portions for the price. The staff is very nice and attentive.

Wine list, by region
Rich B.

Cozy neighborhood restaurant with excellent food and polite and personable staff. Good selection of affordable and select regional wines. The homemade jam with the bread was a very nice touch. Squash and creme soup with kale was very good, but I entertained myself trying to get the long slices of kale to behave themselves and get onto the spoon. Perhaps the kale could be chopped into shorter strips. Duck and mushroom risotto was delicious. The chocolate trio for dessert (I wish I could remember the names that were more sophisticated than "cookie, brownie and mousse" with slices of kiwi) made for a nice finish. The restaurant is at the intersection of Rua do Olival and Largo Dr. Jose Figueiredo. It has about 25 tables front and back, so when you look in the front windows don't be fooled into thinking that there are only 3 or 4 tables. Service was very prompt, polite and professional.

Raízes - roots, what we seek in many aspects of life, culture. The food - stewed pork and beans, crusty bread and beer here satisfy deeply, memorably. Easy exchange of greetings and conversation with regular locals so pleasant.

Cod with spinach and chick peas. Delicious! May 2017
Ninja C.

I visited Lisbon recently (May 2017) and I believe I had the best meal out of the week of meals at Raizes. I ordered the pork with polenta and my guest ordered the cod with spinach and chickpeas. Fabulous! From the close attention we were given, to the impeccable wine knowledge, to the suggestions on the food, I was utterly satisfied and hopeful I would get another chance to visit this establishment. Thank you so much for the wonderful meal, but moreover, thank you for the delightful experience!

This restaurant came recommended to us by another American that ate here two nights ago. His comments were so right. Excellent service incredible salad and main courses.

This was one of the highlights of my trip to Portugal! Not only was the food amazing, but the…read moreinterior of the restaurant was charming with all the stone / wood/ iron beams (all original). The fact that my husband and I got there before anyone else came, allowed us to have the most amazing conversation with the staff that works there!! Faysal greeted us and was very welcoming! As we ate dinner, Bernardo who is a waiter there, told us the history of the building etc and since no one else was there, we talked about our families and that he going to be a veterinarian...and that he has something else coming up that is going to be exciting. All through our dinner we chatted with him (as if we were having dinner at his house) and enjoyed every minute of the conversation!! It was the best part of the evening! We even got to meet Miguel the chef, and were happy to tell him his food was amazing! I can't recommend this restaurant enough!!! They only charge 19.60 euro for all you can eat!!!! I hope a lot of people read this and go to Rosa da Rua!!!

This was the cutest sweetest place. My husband and I were just here for our anniversary last…read moreSaturday night and found the staff so sincere and kind. The restaurant was quaint and intimate , with a small buffet that easily fills you up. There were many options from a beef stew to a curry, a noodle dish with bacon, salad, and other options. They even explained the options to us. I truly wish we had more time in Lisbon because I would have definitely returned to try it again as the options differ nightly. I would definitely recommend this to all in Lisbon.

This was our first meal in Lisbon, and I have to say that it was a success. We had no clue of where…read morewe were going to have lunch and pretty much randomly dropped by Tascardoso. Everything from start to finish was absolutely wonderful. For my meal, I went with Açorda de Camarão, which is a bread porridge with shrimp. I jokingly referred to this dish as "Portuguese shrimp and grits". ;) The blend of flavors and seasonings was absolutely amazing. While eating the dish, I told my partner that I could eat this dish everyday and even twice on Sunday. In fact, the next day when were having having some trouble deciding on a place to have dinner, I was like let's go back to the place that has "Portuguese shrimp and grits". ;) If you are hungry, this is the place for you because the portions were huge for the price. After eating my Açorda de Camarão for lunch, I wasn't hungry again until well into the late evening - even after walking around Lisbon for most of the day. Another delicious part of our lunch - the grilled octopus. In my opinion, the octopus was perfectly grilled and seasoned with a chewy, but not too chewy, texture. I thought the prices were reasonable, especially considering the restaurant is located in a very touristy part of town. The restaurant has a nice outdoor dining area where you can enjoy your delicious food and wine while enjoying the hustle and bustle of Lisbon. I thought service was fine. Although our waiter was not the friendlies of characters, he wasn't flat out rude. When I visit Lisbon again, this restaurant (in particular the Açorda de Camarão) will definately be on my "must do" list.

We were recommended this restaurant by our hotel concierge and it certainly didn't disappoint. Upon…read morearriving, we were greeted and led down to the basement where we say a lot of locals enjoying a meal. Note that there isn't an English menu available but the food was great. Like most restaurants in Portugal you start with bread, cheese, and olives. The cheese was very smooth and the olives tasted fresh. I opted for the chicken plate and it wasn't too heavy but was jam packed with flavor. Service was pretty solid here despite the language barrier and I definitely would recommend Tascardoso to those who are nearby the area for an authentic Portuguese meal!
