It was our first night in Lisbon and we’d been looking for a more intimate experience with my partner, which was hard, keeping in mind that the street was filled with touristic places serving the same food everywhere. However we came across a narrow ascendent...More

The island fish stew and fried corn cakes with spicy tuna were good. The stew had a good balance of seafood, meat, and veggies. Excellent customer service!

We had a good experience but I was expecting more from the reviews I read. Food: We tried a few Angolan dishes. They were ok. We were surprised that “moamba” came without “pirão “ nor “fuba” which are a must have when you eat “moamba”....More

We enjoyed a unique dinner! Nice atmosphere and a great selection of dishes. Very good wine recommendations by the owner. The service is very friendly, natural and dedicated. Beautiful experience - certainly to repeat.

When you think you are there, but can’t find it, look away from the square, you will see stairs, walk just a few feet toward the stairs and look to your left. That’s it! The menu isn’t big. I suggest the Angola Chicken. My friend...More

Mesa Kreol is one of my favourite places to go out for dinner in Lisbon. They always have good food - anything you order from the menu will blow your mind. Plus every time I have been there has been live music.

I had meant to try this earlier in my stay in Lisbon but only went on our last night which was a shame as we could easily have gone back. We had the Tuna with coconut, which was fabulous. My sons had the peanut Chicken...More

Liking ethnic food, we tried this one even being already abroad. And being accustomed to local ethnic food, this one was even more a surprise. A selected list of dishes, clearly divided into categories, ingredients correctly listed, and that for starter only! Friendly english speaking...More

We found this little restaurant just 50 metres from our apartment, but the convenience of their location was only one of the attractions. The interesting menu features dishes from the former Portuguese colony of Cape Verde, and we ate delicious tuna steak in coconut sauce...More

A pending candidate to become a World Heritage Site,
Lisbon's downtown (the "Baixa Pombalina", or simply
"Baixa") is a perfect example of anti-earthquake
