    Peixinhos da Horta and sourdough bread with Azores smoked butter

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Great atmosphere, personal and not too noisy. Excellent food quality and service. Here you will eat traditional portuguese dishes with a modern twist. I keep going back !

    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

    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

    Excellent red

    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

    Prawns

    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

    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!

    Cod fish. Was ok. A little bit dry - an ok dish.

    We stopped in for a quick drink. We had "The Decadante" which was very tasty. Nice bartenders too. I'll be back tomorrow!

    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.
