Reviews on European food in Lisbon, Central Portugal, Portugal. Lisbon is a dreamy destination for any traveler. The Portuguese capital's cultural and artistic diversity, its exhilarating and varied nightlife, the breathtaking viewpoints and its proximity to some of the most spectacular beaches and coastlines make it a top destination in the world.

The restaurant has a cosy and original vibe. Everything dish has cheese in it, but consideringvthat I am not a cheese lover, everything dish was tastyband well balanced. Wine is also a strong feature in the menu, and goes really well with the cheese flavours. Great experience. A place to return to.

Reviewed By Petexyz

Oh please, we are totally losing faith in TripAdvisor reviews after a visit to this pleasant little sandwich show that wasted 45 minutes of round trip travel.It's NOT a Tapas place, it's a bunch of different ham & cheese on toast.That's it. You're likely better off going into the adjoining market for a variety of options.Yes, the owners are earnest and extremely nice.No, there's nothing negative to review.But no way this is better than 4,600 other Lisbon eateries. TripAdvisor needs to re-think it's rating systems...it's unfair to compare a tiny sandwich shop to an established high-end restaurant with real meals.

Versiculo do Faia

Reviewed By ghsfcal

This small restaurant delivers very good food, an much better than normal wine list, and excellent service. Our favorite dishes were the rack of lamb and the octopus. Be forewarned that the octopus entree is huge & perhaps best split. The mushroom appetizer and the pepper & cod appetizer were both very good. This is one of the Lisbon restaurants that I would highly recommend.

Very small “storefront “ eatery with about 10 tables. Do not be fooled, it came highly rated and did not disappoint. Pick your own fish for dinner.....I had the sea bream and my wife the salmon. Coupled with the house white wine and topped off with dessert it made for a most enjoyable meal. Price was more than reasonable.

Wine Room Lisboa

Reviewed By Maria B

This is a very small restaurant run by a lovely kind couple that clearly loves what they do. The lady was the wine connoisseur. We decided to accompany our lunch with wine by the glass. She will make recommendations and let you taste before choosing. We had Douro Colinas do Douro, with our sardines, which were wonderful, Mare & Corvus with sausages and linguica, which were served with mango; the dish was very good, and others with our main dishes. Out of the way but worth a visit.

Agulha No Palheiro

Reviewed By Jeff G

We so wanted to love this place, having heard accolades from a close friend and having reading generally terrific reviews. We were greeted by a warm and welcoming hostess/server who apologized profusely for our table not being quite ready and made up for it with a nice glass of wine. She was also very helpful in walking us through the somewhat quirky menu- a rather limited and odd assortment without an obvious theme. Two dishes we ordered - sardines and a chocolate lava cake - were excellent. Two - carrot salad and cod - were not. The former was a collection of cooked/chilled sliced carrots swimming in a broth that tasted too strongly of raw garlic. The cod pieces were well cooked but very bland, accompanied by cooked cabbage that was again badly seasoned with garlic, this time burned. Perhaps our expectations were too high, but perplexing to us that our experience seemed so contrary to what others have reported - not sure why. PS - as others have reported, the prices are incredibly low.

We entered this little restaurant by coincidence and we even had a table without reservation, which is quite rare apparently.But wow, what a surprise. The food is delicious! Also the service is enjoyable, personal and warm. Prices are reasonable.I definately recommand this place. And I will certainly go back if I'm in Lisbon again Little side note: The seating can be uncomfortable

The food was prepared thoughtfully with a good combination of flavours and was beautifully plated up.The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel very welcome in their little cafe.I would definitely recommend eating at Augusto!We are very happy that we gave you a good food experience !

We had dinner at Sala. It is a small restaurant with an open kitchen. Immaculate and thoughtful interior design through to the cutlery and plates and gleaming copper pots in the kitchen. And then there is the menu which is innovative and truly an artistic expression on a beautiful plate.Very exciting food. And a real dining experience.Hello Gill, Thank you for your words to our design that so much represent to us.Best regards João Sá
