    This is the first meal in Portugal where I had something different that I really like! The codfish with string fries and egg yolk is definitely a must order! The octopus dish is also delish! The tuna is a bit overcooked and dry, I would've skipped that. The chocolate tart is the perfect ending to the meal. It's not too chocolatey, perfect sweetness with a bit of saltiness. Reservation is pretty easy, just email them, I was even able to move my reservation a couple of times. The place is tiny! We made a reservation for 7 people including a toddler and a baby and they gave us a very tiny table that somewhat fits 6. Luckily one person in our party canceled so it worked out, but we were literally shoulder to shoulder with the table next to us and behind us. Definitely better for a smaller group.

    We loved the food, it was well seasoned and the portions were generous. We also loved the wine! The service was great and so was the ambiance!

    Shrimp in garlic - delicious

    Delicious food - every dish is prepared with quality ingredients and proper technique. Our octopus was tender and nicely charred, cod with eggs and potatoes was very tasty, garlic shrimp was excellent. Appetizers on the house was a welcome start. The restaurant serves mostly fish. There are a couple of vegetarian dishes and a few meat selections. They also accommodate special requests - my side potatoes were replaced with mixed vegetables. Service is Portuguese style - slow but warm and friendly. Come early or make a reservation - the restaurant was full by 7.

    Welcoming apps on the house! Yum

    This was one of the best meals we enjoyed over a one month vacation in Europe. I hands down recommend Santelmo to anyone looking for a flavorful and unique meal. Everything was cooked perfectly and I'm still dreaming of the roasted octopus!!! COME HERE!!

    Insane. The octopus is just perfect, trust the recommendations of the host. I can also recommend the green wine

    The name of restaurant!

    What a great place. Good food with a smile. A small but cosy place. As a starter free tapas.

    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.

    If your in Lisbon, this is one of those must do places…read more A Portuguese buffet, where everything tastes like someone's grandma just made it. Impeccable service. Cozy, almost romantic atmosphere. And just €16 per person for all you can eat! The menu changes nightly so here were the stars for me: Creamed cod. Might not sound appetizing but this was insanely good. Not too fishy. Veggie lasagna - really great flavors and you sneak in some vegetables. All the sides: mashed potatoes were delicious, the rice is a staple, the couscous was perfect, the carrot soup made me say DAMN! The service was amazing. The two gentleman there ran an entire packed restaurant effortlessly. Helping customers with drinks, explaining the concept and each dish to every person that came in. We washed it down with a pitcher of white sangria (drinks and desserts are extra). We literally couldn't move. We walked back to the hotel instead of taking an Uber simply to walk some of it off. One of the most memorable meals I had in Lisbon.
