I walked in without a reservation, eager to try it based on a recommendation, and it did not disappoint! The ambiance was inviting, with warm lighting and a vibrant atmosphere that buzzed with conversation--perfect for unwinding after a long day. I was greeted warmly and seated at the bar--my favorite spot. Within minutes, I had a glass of wine, and the server guided me through the menu with excellent recommendations. The best part? You can choose your steak cut right before ordering, adjusting it to your appetite. The staff, including the chef, were incredibly friendly and engaging, adding to the welcoming vibe. Pro tip: in Portugal, Medium Rare is more like Blue Rare, so ask for Medium if you want a true Medium Rare. Can't wait to come back! read more

The environment and food were great. Make sure you make reservations before head there. The steaks were good to taste with Portuguese wines.

Excellent food, service and vibe! After so much tapas and being on the road traveling for several days we knew we wanted a good steak, good meal and good service....hit every mark! The Somali was so friendly and knowledgeable, the servers explained the menu with recommendations. The free tapas were excellent to get our mouth ready for the food frenzy for what was to come. Husband and I shared the rib eye while our friends had the roasted cauliflower and sirloin steak. Food portions generous and every bite delicious. If you get the chance, say YES here, read more

Unmatched Steak Experience at Sala de Corte Our dinner at Sala de Corte was nothing short of spectacular. The ambiance was warm and modern, perfect for a cozy yet upscale evening. We ordered the porterhouse-style aged meat -- beautifully marbled, expertly grilled, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was tender and rich, a true showcase of dry-aged perfection. The sides were equally impressive, especially the truffle mashed potatoes, french fries and grilled vegetables. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, and the white port pairing to start elevated the whole experience. We finished with a decadent lemon meringue pie dessert and left already planning our next visit. A must for any steak lover in Lisbon. read more

Best steak I had in Portugal. Cool low key spot, great staff & service. Well worth the included tip. Looked and felt just like a steakhouse should, the rear room has an outdoor feel. The main space is everything you want for any occasion. Dress is smart casual but people were dressed however they wanted. After many days of seafood I was so impressed I went back a 2nd time. Awesome in any country. Steaks were great. Better than any place in Manhattan for sure. NYC is slipping. read more

Dinner at Sala was truly a wonderful experience. It came recommended from the tour guide on our sailing tour. We were able to get seats at the bar quickly and had an up close view of the chefs seasoning and cooking the steaks, prepping vegetables and chatting amongst themselves. The restaurant is decorated in black and red and I personally loved the sleek and intimate vibe it gave off. Staff were very attentive from the hostess who sat us to our servers. The food was fantastic! Once our orders were placed, we were brought some small pre-dinner snacks. My friend was brought beef tartare in a baby cone and I had what was described as a mushroom falafel. Very good. As far as apps, started off with the Pata Negra Ham Flatbread. My friend had a steak which I was very jealous of. It smelled delicious. It didn't help seeing the chefs prepare and cook them which made it even more tempting. There are NOT alot of options for non-beef eaters but I made it work. My friend ordered shrimp as an accompaniment for the steak so I could have it. And it was enjoyable. As far as sides, I ordered the mixed grilled veggies and truffle fries. All of it made for a very good and filling meal. We also shared a bottle of wine recommended by their sommelier. We finished with desserts. I ordered a berry meringue with Gelato and my friend ordered a chocolate cake with Gelato. There are no complaints nor improvements needed here. I highly recommend a visit. And I will definitely return on my next trip to Lisbon! read more

Got lucky and were able to get a last minute seating at this restaurant. We sat at the bar area and were able to watch the chefs. It was one of the best and most entertaining meals ever. They make every dish fresh and make quite a production of cooking the steaks in big openflame ovens. Definitely a place to check out. Would go again in a hot minute if I'm in Lisbon again. read more

Very good lunch. Pricey but worth it. Staff was very friendly and the sommelier was great too. Definitely a top steakhouse in the world.

This was easily one of the better dining experiences I've had in my life. And it's certainly the best steak in Lisbon. If you're a foodie, this review won't shake the ground because the dishes I consumed didn't have all sorts of creative/exotic ingredients. But if you're looking for a steak - go to Sala. The price was reasonable; I spent 145€ on 2 drinks (one of which was an excellent wine), an appetizer with shaved truffle, large steak and two sides. The ambiance was very cool; i got there at the right time (730pm) because after 8pm this place gets busy. And the service was IMPECCABLE. I had no less than 3 people checking on me at any time, and that is something I'm a HUGE fan of at fine dining restaurants. Now on to the food... The beef carpaccio was good, but the shaved truffle took it over the top. Great flavor and portion size. The lomo bajo steak is the equivalent of a NY strip, and it was delicious (and I loved that it was served chopped up on the wooden plank... Big fan of that aesthetic.) The truffle mash and spinach were equally stellar; there was not one thing I tried which I didn't enjoy. Highly recommend if you're a steak eater looking for a fine dining experience. read more

Much anticipated reservation at this place! We checked in at our reservation time and they had our seat set up for us already. Restaurant is upscale and beautiful. We were given the food menu but no drink menu at first. We eventually got the drink and wine menu. We both got two glasses of really good red wine. We both ended up getting the encoute cut. I got mine medium rare while my friend got her medium cook. I got Paris butter and my friend got the bernaise sauce to go with our steaks. For sides we got the truffle mash and sausage dirty rice. Before we got our meals we got a little cone of beef tartar which was delicious we saw other tables get this for free before their meal and when they get their checks they get alittle dessert too! Steaks were amazing. One of the best steaks I've ever had. Juicy, seasoned well (doesn't need sauce but ofcourse I added my butter). Truffle mash was the right amount of truffle. The sausage rice was a dirty rice with a hint of spice. We enjoyed our meals and wines immensely. At the end we asked for the check. We got our checks but didn't get the little tarts like the surrounding tables got which I thought was strange? Why would the other tables get the complementary item with their checks and we didn't? Very strange. Overall good steak dinner! read more

Best meal we had during our trip to Portugal. It was so good that we went back again the next day. I found this place on Yelp toward the end of our 2 week trip and by this time i was sick of seafood and just wanted some steak like back home (Chicago) and this place did not disappoint. Both times we started with caviar and the first time we tried a steak on special (pricier) and the second time we did the ribeye. The special was amazing and the ribeye was very good. The service was fine and not speaking Portuguese wasn't a problem at all. Dinner gets busy so you will probably end up waiting a bit before you get served but they give you a little amuse bouche so that helps. The price including drinks was ~$275-325 which is pricey, esp for Portugal, but that's including caviar so really the price for a steak dinner wouldn't be unreasonable. If your in Lisbon, def check this place out! read more

Fine dining for certain, arrive in anything less than a dress or sport coat and you might feel a bit underdressed. I mean this as a compliment. The employees exhibit pride in thier appearance and behavior. As others have beware the offer for a glass of sparkling upon entering the dining area, it is not a gift from the staff at 19E. Sold menu diversity and priced reasonably for such service and decor. The wine "book" is extensive and does include some excellent values. Their Somm suggested two bottles of red wine to me (160E and 240E each) before we had even ordered any food. I declined and selected 4 other bottles of white and red. The Somm refused to decant one upon my request (2013 vintage) but relented afterwards. His logic escaped me. The meats ordered by our table of eight were all undercooked, that seems to be their style here based upon other reviews. Would I return? Perhaps, for a special occasion. Just prepare yourself if you plan to dine here. read more

Excellent meal, excellent service and an absolutely incredible steak. We got the Ribeye for 2- and could not be happier. We were really full and rarely get dessert, since it was my birthday the waiter recommended a caramel popcorn dessert. I would have never ordered it, I'm so glad he encouraged us. It may have been the single best thing I've eaten in 10 days, and again-- I'm not really a dessert person. Save room, the pastry chef here is a superstar! read more

This is the best steak my wife and I have ever had. I've tried all the popular spots in NYC and Philadelphia (Keens, Peter Lugers, quality meats, catch steak, Wolfgang puck, Alpen rose, del friscos..etc) and this steak is the best. T bone steak, 15 day dry aged with the additional shrimp and sauce, medium rare. Wine, Sides and dessert were also excellent. Price was very fair. Service was friendly, but the waiters were also quite spacey. Overall, a stylish spot with very high quality food. read more

First time in Portugal and I'd like to give this place more stars but the service was trash. the food was ok to be honest but I'm a service person overall. This Restarant looks lovely on the inside as far as ambiance. Was told about the special steak of the night and we decided to order it. The waiter came back and told us it was sold out. Then another table next to us came in and the same waiter brought them over several steaks to choose from and the one they said was sold out. Weird. Also, the manager I'm assuming because he was the only one wearing a full suit, kept serving everyone else water and wine but never came over once to check on us and out water glasses were empty. Horrible selections service. One star for ambiance and ok food. read more

For consecutive years, Sala de Corte has been considered one of the best 101 steak houses in world (https://www.worldbeststeaks.com/). And deservedly so! For our appetizer, we started with the Beef Cecina, which is dried beef. It was like pata negra ham, but beef instead of pork. Amazing! For our main course, we ordered the Entrecôte, the Tenderloin, and the Roasted Cauliflower. All three were excellent. The steak was very flavorful, juicy, and tender. And the roaster cauliflower was the best we've ever tried. Now I must say... the dessert was splendid. Do not miss the Berry Pavlova! Possibly the best dessert we've ever had! The service was impeccable and the ambience quite pleasant. If you're is Lisbon, Sala de Corte is a must! read more

The food was delicious, the ambiance was great, and the service was exceptional. We had chuleton steak with garlic mashed potatoes and mushrooms, burrata, and delicious wine. It was a 1996 Cabernet and I can't remember the name of it. Our server recommended it, and he was awesome. The mushrooms that we ordered with the steak were the best I have ever had. This place was very good and we are eating seafood for the rest of the trip so it was nice to have amazing steak. If I find myself back in Lisbon(which I hope to) I will be back here and that says a lot since I don't like to repeat restaurants! read more

This place was magnificent!!! The atmosphere and the service was the greatest.... And I could keep going about the food it was the best... I came with a large group of people not one person had a complaint I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Pricey loud typical cavernous with an attempt at elegance steakhouse. We got 2 specials of the day 85 day aged chuleton to share for a party of five. Meat delicious and cooked perfect temp but way too much fat /gristle for this price point. Strangely although cooked on fire in the middle of restaurant no taste of the grill.Service good. Appetizers unexciting and unimaginative .Sides limited and small. Dessert list even less creative than appetizers . I wouldn't come back because at this price point I expect flawless steak and a little more creativity with everything else on the menu. My sister was told by a chef this is the best place in Lisbon for a steak . If so, I guess no more steak for me in Lisbon! read more

When I think about my meal here, a single tear runs down my face. It's seriously that good. The service was exceptional and the server was extremely helpful in guiding us toward the perfect meal. I don't know what was more impressive: the phenomenal beef loin carpaccio with truffle oil, pistachios, and parmesan; the beautiful cuts of steak, from the aged entrecôte to the chateaubriand; or the dessert: berry pavlova, heavenly chocolate mousse, and pineapple with charcoal ice cream. Every bite was an experience in and of itself. We also ordered two fantastic Portuguese wines to go with the meal and some Port wine after dessert. You cannot leave Lisbon without having a meal here--unforgettable! read more

Surprisingly disappointed. My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here and ordered the Wagyu steak which by the way cost us $250 for a steak. I can honestly say that 30% of the steak was fat. It was not the Wagyu steak that I have known and eaten in the past. be careful, I should have been more assertive and I wasn't. read more

Everything was truest so wonderful. My boyfriend and I shared- we had room for maybe one more side, but left feeling good.

Great spot in Lisbon...great ambiance ..great food...can go casual which was a plus..definitely be back next time I'm in town

Very trendy and happening in the district of Bairro Alto where you have a wide variety of amazing restaurants to pick from. Bairro Alto is one the trendiest districts In Lisbon because of the wide variety of modern contemporary restaurants. The restaurant itself has a very Art Deco feel and packed so you would need a reservation. The service can be real slow depending on how packed the restaurant is. We got the steak Enterecote, which was nice crisp and a healthy mix of fat. The roasted cauliflower and the asparagus concoction were delish. The burrata will always be a classic hit. It's a fun evening, great ambience and good food. I can't say the food was amazing in the sense that I would come back again but it hit all the right spots. The decor and ambience which these pictures don't do Justice. I read some of the views below and I think it's a bit unfair. Having loved steaks and tasted some delish ones in Japan and Australia. I have to tell you I've never been able to justify a 150$ steak ever. The enterocote that we ordered was 36 euro and it hit the spot. Service can be slow because I literally felt like there were two servers for the entire restaurant. The average diner was there for 2 hours. This is Lisbon not New York City. Take a chill, relax and enjoy the good food and don't spend 155$ on a steak and expect to get an orgasm. read more

This place is a must come to when in Lisbon. We had seen and been recommended this place by many people so we had to come try it out. The ambience and decor inside was beautiful. The food and service were absolutely impeccable. The picanha steak which I got cooked medium was absolutely delicious. The mashed potatoes were just as good. We also were served complimentary tartare which was delicious as well. Great place to come either for a date night or even with a group of people. You have different choices for the sauces for your steak and also can even choose a cheese sauce or garlic herb butter. Absolutely wonderful place. read more

Our visit to Sala de Corte was without question one of the more memorable dining experiences I've had in Lisbon! We decided on this restaurant spontaneously and went without a reservation; we were seated at the bar with only a minimal wait. Tip: In many restaurants bar seating isn't optimal - here the seats at the bar are the best to be had! This is because when you sit at the bar all the food is cooked and plated right in front of you :-) The bar we were seated at looks like a typical bar, but it's not - all the food preparation for the entire restaurant is done in the area that's normally occupied by the bartenders in back of the bar. The cooks and the Chef performed their food preperations flawlessly, almost like it was a Cirque du Soleil performance - it couldn't have been more entertaining! All the food and drinks we tried were exceptional, the service was impeccable, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable given the quality of both the food and the overall dining experience. read more

Those dry aged beef! * * * EXPERIENCE * * * Made a 9pm reservation on a Saturday night - man the restaurant was packed full of people! We were seated at a small table near the entrance. Our server patiently explained to us the different beef options. Sommelier was knowledgeable and recommended a nice Portuguese bold wine which we really enjoyed. * * * FOOD * * * Beef Tartare: A Restaurant gave us this for free! The beef tartare was very taste, added some mayo and sour sauce, in a cute little ice-cream cone. Would't think I would use the word refreshing to describe such a dish but yes it was that! Galician Chuleton: A We were shown the raw beef before they cooked it for us. It's huge! It was perfect medium rare, they used wooden fire oven and the meat juice was still captured inside the meat, the amount of fat was just about right. Sharp contrast between the grilled skin and the fat was right underneath. The amount of redness in the middle was perfect. The side dishes were very nice too, out of those I liked the grilled vegetables the most, perhaps it balanced out the meatiness from the main dish. Honestly, this place is really good but it would be a lie to say this is the best steak house I have ever been to. But in the Lisbon seafood-driven food scene, a hippy steak restaurant serving wonderful food is definitely appreciated. Make sure you get a reservation before your trip! read more
