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. So no frills but that is what makes it extraordinary! Tip: watch what others order, point politely and say: "Ishto, obrigada!"

We came around 1:30pm, as hot as it can get in the middle of the summer so we decided to wait for a table to be seated inside. We waited about 5-10mins and were often updated with the wait time. We ordered 2 kids meal, chicken strips and fries in which my kids devoured them in no time, and also 2 fish soups, 1 salad and 2 entrees for 4 adults to share (as it was too hot and we weren't very hungry). The fish soup was delectable. It was rich in flavor but not overly creamy or heavy. Bouillabaisse is indeed one of my favorite and a must get while I'm in France. For their nicoise salad, the veggies were fresh and crisp, with just the right amount of olive oil and balsamic glaze on top. For entrees, we ordered the sea bass with ratatouille and rice. I was expecting nicely lined vegetables which don't happen but the sea bass was perfectly cooked with crispy skin, moist and tender meat that just flakes apart easily. My kids ended up stealing most of our fish. The ratatouille was very flavorful, perfect to be eaten with rice. The cod was one of their specials for the day and it was also perfectly cooked: moist and tender. Their service was very quick and attentive. Some people may not like it being too quick and specially in Europe but we like it especially when we didn't want to spend too much time eating and more time for sightseeing. The only complaint is the AC is a little weak but this is common in most of the places in Europe. Overall, food is excellent with superb service. Price was a little higher than other restaurants in Lisbon but it is expected given its location. We enjoyed our lunch and would recommend it to anyone to enjoyed French cuisine.

The food is superb and the service is excellent. The decor is contemporary and minimalist. They have a six course tasting menu which is great if you eat seafood.

They were happy to accommodate it and created a vegetarian risotto that was out of the world. The grilled vegetables had such great flavor and the dish totally rocked. Their plating and presentation was impeccable. Many different local wine options that was very reasonably priced too. Suggest making reservations.

This distinctly French place is just a short hop from the Boca do Inferno and Cascais. Owner Pierre-Marie and his daughters deliver an excellent example of great French cuisine without ever having to leave the country. For lunch a our group of three all chose the menu of the day which included a vegetable soup as an appetizer, a fillet of St. Pierre fish (John Dory in English) as the main course and a Pear in wine sauce for dessert. The fish fillet was absolutely spectacular, very delicate, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning. The fish was accompanied by potatoes and courgettes (zucchini) which complemented the fish in taste. The poached pear in wine sauce was da' bomb - I am not usually a fruit guy, but I have to admit that it was really exceptional. The dish was very well executed, the flavors were balanced, not too much wine nor tartness nor sweetness everything was perfect. My first visit to the bistro but certainly not my last, well worth the trip here.

Cozy homey decorated in red walls and black white photos of French life in the 1950's. Our waiter was the owner. Lovely older gentleman who was very pleasant and attentive throughout. We shared 14 euro rose which was average. Excellent selection of well priced French wines and a little pricier than typical for Portuguese wines. Appetizer shared fois gras mi cuit. I believe 12 euros. Large portion of cold fois gras served with tasty salad fig compote and toast points. Tasty beginnings. Mains confit of duck served with sautéed potatoes. 14 euro Duck breast with potatoes baked with cream and cheese. Both well seasoned adequate portions. Wish duck breast cooked less but was perfect medium.Dessert had apple tart. Overall nothing extraordinary but comfort French bistro food and a nice option if you become tired of never ending similar standard Portuguese options.

It rained so hard on the eve, that we couldn't venture very far, so we ended up back at the apartment and ate cereal...lol! So on Natal, we ventured out and just happened to walk by this cute little restaurant. We came in at 5 and were the only ones there. Our waitress was very friendly and spoke English well. We ordered a Syrah from Portugal which was very good, so much so, we ordered a second bottle later in the meal. We both ordered the vegetable soup, pureed vegetables and stock, that was very delicious on the chilly evening. I ordered the shrimp scampi which came in a creamy garlic sauce and the partner had the melon and prosciutto (just look at the size of it!). Since it was a holiday, some things were not available. However, they went and got bread from another restaurant; "Bread with the sauce is very good!" she told me, and it was! We both ordered the steak, and I should've ordered mine medium well instead of well; it was a little tough. But it came with a delicious peppercorn sauce that I had to dunk my fries in. A small salad, with a light vinaigrette, came with the steak. We also ordered dessert; both came with a delicious vanilla gelato, and a smooth chocolate sauce accompanied both. A perfect ending to a wonderful meal. BE AWARE: Bread is not complimentary in Lisbon Tasca D'Lyon was our lifesaver! It had been over 24 hours since we had a full meal, and this one was perfect! The staff was very friendly, especially our waitress, and made us tourists feel right at home. We may come back to try their pastas. They serve Portuguese, French, and Italian cuisine.
