We dined here because of the article in Travel and Leisure and the John Malkovich connection. We chose the more casual side because of the menu options which was a mistake because it allowed smoking. Hard to enjoy expensive food when you are enveloped in smoke. When I mentioned this later to the hostess, she then informed me that the... more

Hello folks, it's my dinner companion who delivered the previous review. I feel that it's my responsibility to support her and add some more input – and to deliver a word of warning: Bica do Sapato is a fun place, although feeling a bit out-of-date, but if they want to remain a restaurant they really, really need to step up their... more

The restaurant is told to be one of the best in the city. Well, I can disagree. I've spent two weeks in Portugal, eating in all kinds of possible and inpossible places, tiny unknown restaurants in the middle of nowhere. Everywhere food was excellent. Our last evening we decided to have a goodbye dinner at Bica do Sapato. Place looked... more

Its been a year or so since I was last here and have eaten at Bica do Sapato many times over the past 10 years. I love its energy. In summer ask for a table on the terrace by the water outside. The oysters were fantastic. Crisp local white wine. Great. This is however an "international" feeling experience, not local.... more

Very poorly prepared food (small portions....fortunately) coupled with poor service. All this and high prices. It is a place "to be seen", I prefer restaurants for dining. This place was a disaster in all respects. Visited Sept. '08 more

Had read a lot about this restaurant and was really looking forward to it. It is a great restaurant, and I was not disappointed, but somehow, it didn't live up to my expectations (this could be my fault). It's location means you need to get a taxi there and there are several warehouse type buildings, so it's not obvious at... more
