If it is after, closer to the back end which is up a small flight of stairs. If it's your first time stick to the classic steak entrecôte and the never ending fries. Start with a salad. Skip the bread so at to have room for steak and fries. The wine selection is superb. The service amazing but not overly fussy. This is bistro food.

Forno D'Oro is one of those places where the moment you sit down, you forget you are in Lisbon and…read morefeel like you are somewhere in Italy. The room is bright, lively, and full of energy, with an open kitchen and wood fired oven that immediately sets the tone. The pizza is exactly what you hope for.

Nothing feels overdone or adapted for tourists. It tastes authentic and confident. The atmosphere adds to the experience. It is busy without feeling chaotic, polished without feeling formal. You can tell people come here to eat well and enjoy themselves, not to rush through a meal. Forno D'Oro delivers exactly what it promises.

As well as complimentary bread and butter we received a little pot of sardine paste and a round of delicious cheese as well, this is one of the things I love about eating in Portugal! It's important not to fill up too much though as the portions have a tendency to be large, and this was no exception. I ordered to polvo de galinha (roasted octopus) served with potatoes, onions and olives. It was delicious and really tender. Other dishes included bacalhau (salted cod) and picanha (steak). Even my 15 month old was happy to try everything although he wasn't totally taken with the octopus! Mine was so huge I had to get the rest to take away and there was certainly no room for desserts even though the bulging cabinet looked tempting! The staff were really friendly and accommodating of the little one. And the crab and lobster tank was a great distraction for him.

It's a big establishment that looks beautiful outside and inside. Our waiter was very observant, bringing another customer napkins when he saw the customer had spilled something on himself, and bringing us more bread when he saw we were almost done. However, he mixed up the combinations of our orders. The beef steak order was supposed to have Portuguese sauce with fried eggs but there were no eggs and it came with mustard sauce, which didn't taste as good as the Portuguese sauce. The chicken steak was supposed to come in mustard sauce and no fried egg but it was covered in Portuguese sauce topped with a fried egg. Pao Torrado Fatitas (bread) - .65 euros. 2 Manteiga, 2 Manteiga Alho (4 packs of butter)- 3.20 euros. The garlic butter was too addicting for my own good. The beef/chicken steaks drenched with either Portuguese or mustard sauce came with two free sides (rice, salad, etcand a fried egg for an extra charge. The chicken steak was only 9.95 euros while the beef steak was 15.60 euros. I absolutely loved the spinach purée side, it didn't sound appetizing but it was so bomb. Try dipping your fries in it! Overall, the chicken steak was a bit boring even with the sauce. They didn't have hamburgers left.
