    Really enjoyed our dinner at Solar dos Presuntos and definitely recommend making a reservation as there was a very long line of walk-ins during a weeknight. When you're seated, your table already has bread, meats, cheese, and butter so feel free to keep or give back as these all cost money. Big fan of the 2 flavored butters! We went with the Octopus and Seafood Rice for our entrees, and I was very very happy. The octopus was perfectly cooked and came with potatoes and veggies. They were gracious enough to split the Seafood Rice on our plates so that we could share more easily. I'm glad they told us the portions were large so we didn't order any apps. We also got some white wine, which was fine but not anything special.

    After standing in line for 30min. with another restaurant cuz we forgot to place a reservation, we decided to go for this place instead. The staff was very friendly but the ambience threw me off a little bit cuz I didn't really get the concept. Classic? Modern? What do you want to be? It also seemed that for the owners it's more important to show that local celebrities are visiting regularly with a slide show on a big ass flat screen. Also the menu I wasn't able to catch in what direction it wants to go. Although the food turned out to be good, my filet was cooked perfectly and my wife's octopus has been seasoned just right and tasted fresh. Being in business for 20 years plus they seem to do it right for the locals, so I would label it "interesting".

    Best service we got in Lisbon. Our waiter had great energy. He seemed like the main waiter on the main floor and was busy but still gave each table individual attention and even took pictures with the guest. We asked for wine recommendations and he picked a tasty red wine. FYI: the bread, cheese, olive, and salami plate they put on the table is not complimentary so ask them politely to take it away if you don't want to eat/be charged for it. - Octopus: very tender and huge portion, would recommend - Rice w/ Lobster & Prawns: I would skip, it's a huge portion but it lacked the sea flavor we were expecting. It became a big portion of soupy rice. - Sirloin Steak w/ Spinach & Chips: we asked for medium rare, some parts of the steak seemed overcooked and dry. Could've been salted more. Spinach was buttery and paired well with steak. Even though we came for a late dinner without reservation, it was pretty packed but they managed to sit us right away.

    This restaurant felt overpriced for Lisbon. We walked in late and were seated upstairs right away, which was convenient. However, be aware that the cheese and salami plate they offer isn't complimentary--if you eat it, you'll be charged, and many patrons seem unaware since they don't clearly mention this. We ordered the croquettes, but they were over-fried and burnt, and I wasn't a fan of the sauce. On the bright side, the clams were really good. We both had grilled fish, which came with potatoes and a green of your choice, but the dish was bland and underwhelming. Overall, not worth the visit!

    I'm a lover of Portuguese food, specially "bacalhau" (salted cod). I must say, Solar dos Presuntos gives you Portuguese food at its best. Here are the details: - Cold cuts (A+): fantastic Iberian ham, sausage, bread, and cheese - Beef Croquettes (A+): the best I've ever had! And their home-made mustard was incredible, also the best I've ever had - Pastéis de Bacalhau (B-): I've had much better - Bacalhau Assado no Forno (A+): Oven-baked salted cod. To die for! - Bacalhau à Lagareiro (A): more salted cod... prepared differently, top notch - Bacalhau Gomes de Sá (A): more salted cod... prepared differently, top notch - Entrecôte Angus Marmoreado (A): Juicy, flavorful steak - Oysters (B): Large yet unmemorable - Service (A+): Very attentive and courteous - Ambiance (A): Pleasant, spacious, and inviting For a four-person meal, we paid 200 Euros including tip (no alcohol or dessert, only water, see photographed receipt for details). We highly recommend Solar dos Presuntos!

    A friend took us here while on our trip to lisbon. This was one of our fancier dinner nights. Our server Rui was very attentive, helpful, and spoke some English. He was very patient with us despite being so indecisive. Keep in mind there is a limit to your reservation time. We arrived a bit late so we needed to rush to not overextend. The breads and cheeses are very good. We had a selection of seafood appetizers recommended by Rui. My main was the pork pernil which was good but was a bit much for me after some time. After dinner, we went up to the rooftop bar for some drinks and a coffee. It was very quaint and relaxing.

    Warm atmosphere, professional service, excellent ingredients and cooking skills, enjoy the authentic seafood feast. The wine pairing in the restaurant deserves five stars.

    Hands down my favorite seafood Portuguese restaurant in Lisbon! If you want fabulous seafood this spot is for you, plus the locals love it which says a lot. You walk in and it gives an upscale vibe, while you can dress casual it's definitely got a nice white linen table cloth and fancy wait staff vibe, better to go in a little nicer but nothing too fancy. At the entrance there is a fish tank and what's really cool is this restaurant has multiple stories. This spot gets super packed so I'd recommend coming for an early lunch. The staff were very friendly and hospitable. Service was 5/5 stars and they treat you well. We were offered suggestions and everything was cooked to perfection. You must start with a cocktail, a sangria is classic. For the food we started with the jamon and cheese plate, decent but nothing out of this world. However, when it comes to their shareable seafood tapas you must indulge yourself as these were some of the best bites I've ever had. Highly recommend their garlic shrimp appetizer as the shrimp are super buttery and full of garlic. Delicious. We kept soaking up the butter with our bread, so good. The main star was the thinly sliced octopus with olive oil. I've never had octopus that was cooked so well and so tender. The best octopus dish I've ever had to date, fantastic and memorable. You must try the shrimp and octopus when you come, you won't regret it! This restaurant delivers exceptional food with friendly yet professional service. A real treat while in PORTUGAL.

    First seafood dinner in our stay in Lisbon. The seatings are generous and the food is great. The staff helped us to pick out a local red Portuguese wine to pair with our food. That was perfect!

    Bread was delicious
    Helen K.

    Underwhelming. They have whole bunch of stuff on the table to ruins your appetite from bread, cheese, and meat platter. Cheese was OK and I only liked the salami off the meat platter but noticed that they set these up for all the tables as soon as they clean off the old ones so who know how long it's been out and make you waste your $ on stuff you won't enjoy or finish. I made reservation on the night of the Portugal vs. Switzerland game and found out that there was only one TV within the whole restaurant. While fully empty they claimed that the room with the TV was reserved so my mood was pretty sour but was game was uneventful anyways with 6 to 1. We ordered wine but our server had horrible recommendations and would just grab the selections that were already opened from the room that others were drinking. On the third try, he just poured us two glasses of port wine which we didn't like at all. The server was just nonchalant and seemed to not care. The octopus dish that they're famous for was just bad especially we just ate Solar 31 that day which had the best octopus dish we've had. The texture tasted like it was more dried than cooked and tasted more like a squid. The flavor was lacking with just olive oil and red pepper flakes. At least we ended on a good note with the black rice but while the seafood was good, the risotto was a waste. The server misunderstood and packed us all of our leftovers which we did not eat. This was our last meal in Portugal and our curse of the last meal on our trips continues.

This was our first official meal in Lisbon, a reservation for 9:45 pm dinner on a Wednesday, and it was a great introduction to Portuguese food. The street at the entrance was empty and quiet, and there weren't many people inside, presumably because it was late. Service was excellent, they were very nice, told us to take our time despite our late reservation. Pumpkin soup was the appetizer, and it was delicious. Creamy and hearty but somehow not heavy, with some tomato and meaty flavor that went well with the sweet pumpkin. Comes with some seeds and bread that you can dip the soup with. 5/5 Octopus-comes with some green peppers, quinoa, and a tomato paste/puree that gives it a light, slightly sweet, slightly spicy taste that went very well with the octopus. This is a great summer dish. Interestingly the thin end of the octopus was not that crispy, maybe that was the intention, but the entire tentacle taste and texture was pretty homogenized. 4.5/5 Risotto- also has pumpkin, but more savory with cheese and butter, topped with leek and I belive has mushrooms. Not sure how they're getting away with using heavy ingredients coming together to become a light dish, but they're pulling it off perfectly. Price was also very reasonable. We did get asked about tip, which not all restaurants in Lisbon do, but we felt tip was deserving at this establishment.

The food across the board was excellent--every dish we tried was flavorful, well-prepared, and felt thoughtfully put together. You can tell there's real intention behind both the menu and execution. What really elevated the experience, though, was our waiter, Bernardo. He brought incredible energy to the table--full of personality, engaging, and genuinely fun to interact with. At the same time, his service was top-notch: attentive without being overbearing, helpful with recommendations, and clearly passionate about what he does. Great food is one thing, but when you pair it with service like that, it turns into a memorable experience. Highly recommend--and if you get Bernardo, you're in for a great time.

They have wines at three price points, we got a really nice bottle of red called Pops reserve. For the tapas, we ordered the assorted cheeses, octopus risotto, duck breast with chips (not normally on the menu), and ceviche. All were superb. We started with the duck and ceviche. The duck was braised perfectly and seasoned well, wonderful. Then the ceviche had swordfish and tuna. I am not normally a sword fan, but this was very tasty. Next up were the cheese and risotto. The risotto was incredible, buttery and delicious. The cheese plate had 5 cheeses of different intensity. All were great, particularly the goat ones. It came with a pumpkin jam which I had never had before, but was very good. I definitely recommend this place
