First night in Lisbon and this place came highly recommended. I loved how the staff was so friendly and cared more about our experience with them versus how much we ordered! The beef tartare was one of my favorites because of the flavor and bread! Was the perfect pairing. We were seated at the back patio and it was so perfect for a summer night! Would love to come back the next time I'm in Lisbon! read more

My friends and I stopped in here for dinner one evening while in Lisbon. The decor and overall atmosphere was super cute & fun. The drinks were good and the food was pretty good. However, for the price we paid... we still left hungry unfortunately. While it was yummy, the tapas seemed to be a little small to share. However the waiter did have knowledge of gluten free offerings for my celiac disease which was great! read more

The Decadente - Inside the sitting room of the hotel/restaurant. - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

As Americans in Lisbon, we made a reservation based off a recommendation from a friend. We were a bit late, yet the staff was incredibly accommodating and sat us immediately, walking us through the menu. We ordered the most delicious drinks (including the house Old Fashion), and the food and the service was fantastic. Truly a staple restaurant for all those looking to dine in Lisbon. Loved the green tempura beans, fried chicken & ribeye! read more

Was recommended to us by locals and had had such a great time here! Creative cocktails ( the bartender was so much fun to watch), Extremely knowledgeable staff (we come from the California wine country and are industry savvy). The manager took a lot of effort to ensure we paired the right wine and the right quantity of food. Especially appreciate the emphasis on using local, seasonal products and featuring small vintners. Definitely get the vegetable dishes! Really unique approach. Sophisticated vibe without being pretentious. Reserve ahead- you don't want to miss out. read more

Best pastel de nata in town, I usually have coffee and pastries for dessert after dinner, fun atmosphere to sit outside and listen live music that is great too! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our night here! First of all, the service was top notch: attentive, friendly, and a little spunky as the waitress and hostess explained the menu. I'm vegetarian, so the waitress even wrote me a list of great spots to check out before we left. So nice! The food was also amazing. Highlights include the asparagus and black garlic emulsion, which was to die for. The sauce was something we couldn't get enough of. I also particularly liked the Peixinhos da Horta, which was like a crispy and light green bean tempura, as well as the Mushroom and Seaweed's rice, which was like a sea flavored risotto. My dining partner got the confit hake and really enjoyed it as well! The dessert of the caramelized lemony bread was such a treat, as the orange curd and surprise lemon infused olive oil that seeped out from under made it such a unique and delicious way to top off the meal. Would definitely go again! read more

Lovely restaurant in a terrific location. The food was delicious--innovative and fresh. We especially enjoyed the cucumber dessert--sounds weird, but it was wonderful! read more

Food was unique and delicious. Restaurant has a great ambiance, if weather is good I recommend a table outside.

Definitely my favorite meal in Lisbon. Really trendy looking spot that's impossible to get a table at unless you have a reservation. Food: - Camaroes: really well seasoned shrimp, with a rich, spicy sauce that was creamy and flavorful; we couldn't stop dipping our bread in it - Abobora Recheada: wonderful butternut quash with quinoa; I never really like quinoa, but this was cooked perfectly so that it was tender, and it was packed with flavor; it was a great complement to the squash - Portugal no Prato: a rice fish stew with a tomato base that was rich in flavor and full of seafood; the coriander was the perfect balancing element to the salt broth - Cheesecake com Tomates: anything but a standard dessert; almost savory in flavor; rich cheese paired with mildly sweet tomato elements Atmosphere: lively and trendy; very modern Service: really friendly and attentive read more

The Decadente is el presidente of Coriander and salt. Ordered four dishes and all had similar flavor profiles on the side of savory. Had the mushrooms and rice, braised shredded lamb, hake all equally seasoned with lemon, coriander and salt. Disappointed that they all tasted so very similar. Would recommend the battered fried chicken thighs not because they were amazing, but because it was the one dish that wasn't overly savory. Ambiance is decent, good music, probably not appropriate for kids. read more

The food was slightly above average, but compared to the smaller / authentic restaurants i had eaten in Lisbon, it was not comparable. The main dish(suckling veal with apple purée) was nice, the desert(salted caramel chocolate tart with Pwas quite bad, I had a bite and did not finish it. read more

I had high hopes for this place but was honestly fairly disappointed. When ordering, the first two things we wanted (octopus appetizer and sweet potato chips) were not available! Given that we were 1 of 3 tables seated when we orders, this was surprising. The server recommended the spicy prawns appetizer so we went with his recommendation, pairing it with regular homemade potato chips since they didn't have the sweet potato ones. The chips were bland, and some weren't fried all the way through. Regardless, they weren't bad with a sprinkle of salt. The spicy prawns tasted slightly curry-like. The prawns were prepared well and the sauce was tasty, especially sopped up by the bread that came with. I had the pork belly and my beau ordered the Nero linguine with prawns. His dish was good; the linguine tasted very fresh but I'm pretty sure it was the exact same appetizer prawns dish, just dumped on the linguine. It would have been nice to know from the waiter that the two were pretty much identical, especially when he recommended one of them. I was so disappointed in the pork belly. I really didn't think they had given me the correct dish (there were two pork dishes on the menu) but when we pulled the menu up online, the sides matched what was supposed to be served with the belly. Not sure if pork belly usually is different here in Lisbon/Portugal/Europe versus the States, but they were just 3-4 small pieces of super thin nonfatty pieces of pork that were well seasoned but a bit overcooked and dry. The spinach was lackluster and the Portuguese sausage thing (feirnha(?)) was just not yummy. It tasted like smoky stuffing. On the bright side, service was friendly and the decor was edgy. It seemed like a hip place to be. read more

I love it when a restaurant lives up to it's hype. But in this case, they exceeded expectations. Decadente is located in the Barrio Alto, a hip and upcoming neighborhood of Lisbon this restaurant completely fits in the scene. We know this would be a challenge as we walked in on a Friday night hoping for a table. Reservations are a must, but we had a plan. Arrive early (before opening) at 7:00. None of the pretty young people would be here and we may just have a chance... We were told that all the tables were booked, but if we returned at 7:30 (opening time) and put our name on the waiting list that there would be a pretty good chance that we may actually score a table. He also told us to check at the front desk and see if there were any last minute cancellations and we could even nail an actual reservation. We took his advice and headed for the front desk. We were immediately told there were no openings, but as he finished his sentence he looked down at his screen and says "oh wait! we just had a table for two cancel for 7:30!" Yeah baby! From start to finish Decadente was a winner. The service warm and inviting, the food absolutely delicious. There are plenty of options for both meat, seafood and vegetarians. And you cocktail lovers will embrace the creative cocktail list. Our server for the evening was from Belarus, and she could not have been more helpful. Her knowledge of he menu (and especially the wine list) was amazing. I was torn between two ports and she made it a point to bring me servings of both (but she also had a strong opinion on which I would prefer...and she was right). Yes, Decedante is worth the climb up the hill. read more

One of the most trendy restaurants in Lisbon recommended by many local friends and guides. Nice set up with open kitchen - the large outdoor area is rather charmless though. The food has nothing extraordinary. The best dish by far was the linguine. The gazpacho lacked taste. The carpaccio of pineapple (desert) quite frankly does not deserve to be on a restaurant menu. The service was nice but clearly understaffed. Does not deserve the 'hype' overall read more

The Decadente - Typical Portugues fish dish, bread and linguine (in the background) - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Our least favorite meal in Lisboa . We arrived around 2pm for the brunch buffet and though the buffet options were plenty , yogurt , fresh fruit , croissants , cheese meats and olives , a few salads and desserts . With the brunch buffet you get the option of one of 3 egg dishes . They were all mediocre in my opinion the egg being cold on most of our entrees was also not a good sign. We did sit outside and were able to enjoy our pitcher of sangria in the sunshine and cool outdoor space. They don't take resos so either arrive at the start or tail end like we did to be garunteed a seat read more

Very nice restaurant in the Independente Hotel. Great Bar out the front and a nice outdoor, smoking area out the back. Restaurant itself is a lovely room and the staff are great, they gave us a great review for the next evening. lovely steak and Portugese Black Pork. The Black Pork was amazing so much flavour Thin Strips turned on the BBq, fantastic. Also the steak was very good, dry aged rib eye, lots of flavour. Wine was a red from the Douro valley, Papa Figos, very good, and reasonable Total bill was €70 read more

This place reminds me of a new American type restaurant. The place is very popular. Be sure to make a reservation in advance (even a day of two ahead). The cocktails are good. Food: Prawns are a good appetizer. It says it is spicy but I didn't think it was spicy. It is served with bread. Main dish: Duck was delicious and had great flavor and moist Tuna steak- get it rare. It is also amazing served with gnocchi and sauteed zucchini. Dessert: Peach cake with raspberry ice cream. This is great food with good service and prices are good value. Highly recommended read more

It's surprising that all the other reviews state the staff is so friendly. I definitely did not get that vibe tonight. This is the second time I attempted to eat at this restaurant. The first time they were too busy. We went later this time and there was plenty of seating available. We went to the door and stood by the sign that says please wait to be seated. One of the staff members headed in our direction so my Husband asked her for a table for two. The staff member does not acknowledge us at all but rudely says excuse me to us. I moved to the side apparently I was standing in the way of some place you drop off dirty glasses. Then she walks passed us again with no acknowledgement at all. I have never felt so unwelcome in an establishment before. We left. When we attempted to eat there last night, the guy was tot rude or overly nice either. Which I didn't mind but I will not tolerate someone just being rude to me. read more

This was the best meal I had in Portugal! Definitely recommend getting the squid ink pasta with clams and shrimp. It was so good and my sister also couldn't keep her hands off of it as well. My sister got the octopus, and she said it was pretty intense, but if you like octopus she would recommend it! read more

Not only was the food delightful, this was some of the kindest service I've ever received at any restaurant anywhere. I came around 11 at night, and they informed me that regretfully the kitchen was closing. I'd heard good things about this place so I was visibly disappointed but I totally understood. I was near the exit of the restaurant when the host came to get me, asked if only I would be dining, and assured me that they could definitely accommodate a party of one at that hour. I proceeded to enjoy a delicious meal with an amazingly balanced and complex pineapple cocktail. The staff was forthcoming with recommendations about their favorite items on the menu. They even asked me if I wanted bread to soak up the delicious sauce from my already-consumed entree - WHAT A DREAM. How many times have I joked that I wished I had bread at the end of the meal to dip in sauce? Approximately one million. Decadente you are doing everything right in my book! Thanks for making my last night in Lisbon so memorable. read more

Food great, affordable & beautiful people... Down side - staff cares not at all for improvising and juggling tables. Was ordering and eating courses, was asked to leave table for 2nd seating. Wow. So, eat quickly & order all at once. Next time I will double book as chances are the tip/bill would be double those at my table now. But, it's Lisboa & relaxing is in the air... read more

Loud lively place with excellent cocktails and delicious and creative menu. Mix of locals and tourists.

This is a gorgeous outdoor patio space (with indoor space if the weather is bad) decorated in a relaxed, informal boho chic. I recommend the 13-euro prix fixe menu for lunch. Everything is delicious, and it's both more affordable and has better ambience than other places to lunch in the Bairro Alto read more

Oh I love this place. The ambiance, service and food are wonderful. Plus, their cocktails are great and reasonably priced. Dessert (pear carpaccio!) was awesome. It's in a great part of town for walking around after a meal. Will go again the next time I'm in Lisbon. read more

First of all, for gods sake - any day of the week, get a reservation. The locals and the tourists love this place. Just about everything is amazingly good, the prices are good, the service is good, and I even say this when I had a misunderstanding with one of the wait staff about getting a table. The Supremo chicken is one of the best chicken dishes I've had in the world. They do interesting things with flavor for both the chicken and the steaks. The location puts you in one of the best views in Lisbon with a nice smooth walk down to Avendida if you want to see the grand giant old avenue of Lisbon. I'll be back. read more

Fantastic meal and Intro to the city in the hills! I walked in without reservations, which in hindsight was an oversight. I ended up sitting at the bar for a few hours while I waited for a table to open up. It was annoying but well worth it at the end! Thankfully I was able to have starters at the bar while i waited for my table. I had the octopus and beef strips in garlic. Yum. The octopus was sliced paper thin and garnished with what tasted like an olive oil cream and cut veggies. Yum. And the beef strips were killer. An Argentinian man sitting next to me noticed them. And if you know the love for steaks in Argentina, then you understand this was a compliment to the restaurant. The bar has a great cocktail menu. If you like tequila, their beverage with spicy tequila and red fruit is spot on. They have a nice wine list as well. I ended up getting a seat in the outdoor patio. It was wonderful, open air to feel the breeze while eating in a small courtyard. We ordered the duck, 12 hour slow cooked pork cheeks, and steak. Done and done. Nothing need be said but if I must, fantastic. The service was also on point. Even though this is a city that loves late night dining, the staff would make you think it was always the beginning of their shift. read more

Would definitely recommend making a reservation - we came here on a Friday evening and had to wait 1.5 hours for a table. However, it was worth it! We spent the waiting time in the attached bar, where we enjoyed some lovely (mainly port-based) cocktails. The food and service in the restaurant were both great, and the prices are very reasonable. I had some lovely, plump, juicy prawns for starter, which were beautifully cooked, and then the pig cheeks for main course, which just fell apart and melted in the mouth. The duck breast than my boyfriend chose was also delicious. The wine selection was good, and again reasonably priced. read more

Great spot and friendly staff. Tuna steak looked wonderful but was so salty it was inedible, so would recommend avoiding that at all costs. Egg on top was delicious at least. Don't sit outside to dine if cigarette smoke bothers you. I'd give it a second chance if I were local. read more

The Decadente came recommended with a lot of hype behind it. On the surface, you can understand why though. This restaurant is not doing the normal play on Portugese food. By this I mean they aren't focusing on seafood and twists on traditional recipes. This restaurant is trying for modern creative farm to market cuisine. They advertised craft cocktails that are well balanced and unique but they were off balance and less desirable. I would suggest sticking to wine here. The food itself was hit and miss. Some dishes were well under seasoned and not as tasty as they appeared on the menu. The restaurant seemed to be having an off night as the owner was working as the host and he was really laying into employees for mistakes that were made. This also seemed a little less professional and the employees ended up appearing rattled instead of confident in their work. I appreciate the direction they are trying to go and maybe it was an off night but other reviews lately all seem to indicate a pattern. read more

We showed up without reservations (a mistake) but got a table - unlike everyone one else who showed up after us without reservations. Great service (Antonio), excellent food and a trendy ambiance. We started with a simple well-executed salad - greens, wild berries, olive oil and salt. Then the grilled Octopus and the Garlic Shrimp appetizer as a main. Large portions, well-prepared. I room for dessert. read more

I found this place not that great. The salad was smothered in balsamic. The mousse was just okay. After eating some fantastic food in Lisbon, this wasn't a highlight for me. The waiter was extremely nice though. read more
