The bartender will sometimes refill the bottle by crouching by the ginginha tap at the bottom of the wall. Then, he will fill a shot glass and add a sour cherry. Ginginha is a Portuguese liqueur made by infusing ginja (sour cherries) berries in alcohol and combining it with sugar and spices, such as cloves and cinnamon sticks. The sour cherry has soaked up all the flavor, so save it for last.

Service was attentive without hovering, and the prices felt very reasonable for the quality. I thoroughly enjoyed my salmon steak: simple, well-executed, and satisfying!! My husband had the paella and appreciated the prawns, clams, and mussels, though the dish as a whole didn't quite stand out. Still, it was a solid meal overall. A dependable place to stop in when you want something easy, enjoyable, and unpretentious!

The Spaghetti with shrimp was very good with a subtle red sauce and plenty of shrimp. The two bigger shrimp had the shell on and were a mess to eat. Unfortunately, the salmon was a bit dry and overcooked, but overall a good experience.

Ahhhh Farta Brutos...my first cod meal in Portugal. Wifey and I did a wine tasting last night and…read moreafterwards we decided to stop at Farta Brutos for dinner (we'd already walked by it 3-4 times. When we stopped to look at the menu the woman acting as hostess and server didn't use any English but convinced us to stop. FARTA BRUTOS, is a tiny place with a LOT of character that's been around for 113 years (as I mentioned above, our waitress spoke zero English so this was a little challenging at first). After our wine tasting I decided to have another taste of red from the Douro region (no, it doesn't really pair well with what I had, but I don't care). It's a crappy photo, but we had an appetizer plate (they're sneaky-they bring it to you THEN tell you if you don't want it they can take it away...we kept it). Olives (for Wifey) and a tuna mixture that didn't seem to have much more than olive oil and finely chopped onions - and it came with some Portuguese bread - I loved it. For our main meals, Wifey had a "fish rice" meal and I had a baked cod dish with potatoes and spinach that had enough garlic on it to keep the vampires away for the rest of the trip. We finished with a chocolate mouse that was nothing like anything I ever had. It was more like a thick frosting...so rich and chocolaty...so good...

Indoor seating looked nice and more intimate. Ordered the espiritual codfish baked dish. It was tasty. Fish was ok not the best. My feedback is the cheese was a bit overwhelming and created unnecessary grease. I would have liked to enjoy more of a fresh and cleaner fish dish. The vegetable risotto was good. Same issue with too much grease from excessive cheese. Good flavor though. Very filling meal. Decent pricing for a major touristic city I guess and service. Would give 3.5.

You sit down on their table and you can see from the windows the beautiful tiles on all the buildings in Lisbon because this place has a wonderful location. As far as the food, it was amazing, with a huge variety of pastries, breads, Portuguese charcuterie ham and cheese from all over in Lisbon, fresh juices, and hot coffee from them amazing coffee machine and here you can get any type of coffee from espresso, cappuccino, or simple Americano. They also served hot food like eggs and bacon and other typical food that you eat in Portugal everything was great because I tried it all. The service was outstanding and the place was clean and exquisitely decorated. The music from the 30s was playing the whole time. Thank you and I can't wait to go back.

Cana Verde is situated in what used to be the sailor and fisherman market district and while many of us (locals and tourists alike) opted to have a sit down lunch, there were many workers who popped in for a bite or coffee quickly at the counter. Very legit. Since sardines are what Portugal is all about, I ventured a try and ordered the Sardinhas Assadas (grilled sardines). These were served whole, brilliantly seasoned with potatoes, salad, oil & vinegar and fresh bread. These were big' ol sardines, about 6-8 inches long. They were piping hot. Since they were cooked and served whole, all manner of fish guts spilled out and I just tried really hard to think that I was getting my Omega 3's while scooping up the fish bits. The richness/oiliness/flavor of the dish was quite intense, and I really had to try to make it through three of the four sardines. Luckily, the half-bottle of vinho verde I ordered made it easier to wash down the fishes. I chose this restaurant because when I passed by I could see chickens roasting in one window, and a group dining robustly with mountains of plates of fishbones. I knew I would regret it if I didn't go in. Glad I did, glad I tried the sardines, but to be 100% honest, I wish I tried the chicken..the other house specialty. Will never forget this experience!

Forno D'Oro is one of those places where the moment you sit down, you forget you are in Lisbon and…read morefeel like you are somewhere in Italy.

You can tell people come here to eat well and enjoy themselves, not to rush through a meal. Forno D'Oro delivers exactly what it promises.

There was a bit of a wait for our table even though we had a reservation, but the folks ahead of us who were at our table were having such a good time that I didn't even mind waiting for them to finish up their drinks. Our server was attentive the entire time which was very much appreciated. There's a cool ambiance about this restaurant -- everyone here (except me!) were dressed very trendy. We started off with a round of caipirinhas which were well made and strong. For pizzas, we went with the caprese and margherita pizzas which were a nice balance. The caprese was topped with fresh arugula and cherry tomatoes which were refreshing. The margherita was everything you'd expect it to be. If you're craving pizza in Lisbon, give this place a try!
