Came here to watch an England game during the Euro 2016 on a weekday around 2PM. Had a couple of…read morebeers and food. Although it was quite busy we had no issue getting food and drinks in a timely fashion. First Impression: Just like any "Irish" pub I have been to anywhere in the world, but with an extra floor. Very crowded (keeping in mind the game was on). Service: Was served beer at the bar quickly. We sat down at a table and the waitress asked us if we wanted to order food, we did but we had to take a look at the menu. Once we had decided what we wanted we only had to wait around 15 minutes for the food to arrive. Atmosphere: With the game going it was very loud, and a lot of people possibly on their way to/from the airport with all of their bags, so very crowded. For some reason all of the TVs were tuned to different channels for half of the game so half of the pub was on a channel which was 1 minute delayed. That was slightly annoying but eventually we got all of the screens changed to the same channel. Food: I ordered a veggie burger with chips. I was very impressed with the burger which was quite large and seemed to be homemade. I could easily say this was one of the best veggie burgers I have ever had, (forget the bland frozen small fried burger you get at many places). The bun was not very good though, mediocre bread. Nothing really special about the chips they seemed like average fluffy oven chips. The salad was nice and came with dressing already on it. Drinks: Selection was okay, exactly what you would expect from an Irish pub. There were a few craft beer choices of which I was surprised. I ended up ordering a pint of Sagres Lager. Price: In total the meal with a beer was around €14, which I thought was quite reasonable. Restrooms: Average restrooms that were clean. Nothing to complain about. Overall: A nice pub if you're looking to watch any UK or Irish games. Decent food and a nice selection of beers. Near the center of all of the tourist activity so as you could guess the prices are not exactly the cheapest but they are also not astronomical.

One of the most interesting meals I have had the pleasure of having in Lisboa (or maybe anywhere in…read morethe world). When you find Estrela Da Bica, it is on a side street right off of the steep street with the trolley that is famous. There was a small open door with a sign asking us to wait outside to be seated (so as not to crowd the restaurant). Make sure to follow these instructions, as my family and I watched some other unaware tourists walk straight in, grab a menu, and promptly get asked to go wait outside. After a minute or two, we were seated by one of the staff (possibly the owner?). The staff was all women, and they seemed very proud of their restaurant. The decor was quirky and very homey, with various mismatched tables and chairs. We were informed that the food is all meant to be shareable plates, and we started off by just getting some sourdough bread with dips. There were multiple different kinds of bread and the dips kept them interesting, one being a fish spread. One of the appetizers caught my eye instantly, the roasted pork belly, banana mash, and pico de gallo. I usually like banana flavors mixed with savory (I've tried weird combinations like a peanut butter banana hamburger before) so I knew I had to try this. The outside of the pork belly was perfectly crunchy while the inside was tender. As I expected (but I would guess most people wouldn't), the banana mash complimented the rich savory flavors of the pork belly. For the mains, we ordered the pink marlin tataki with pineapple chutney, potato and rosemary sourdough pizzeta, roasted Hokkaido with butternut mash, dried nuts sand, and house kimchi, the confit codfish cheeks with poached egg and crispy chips, and the pork cheek ravioli with mustard sauce and buckwheat popcorn. They were all intriguing flavor combinations that I would never have thought of in my life!! What stood out to me was the confit codfish cheeks with poached egg and the crispy potato chips. We had tried other codfish dishes around Lisboa and had noticed that it was the most common fish there. But this combination was luscious, with the soft egg coating the fish and the chips adding a nice crunch to every bite. It was like a fish carbonara in a way with the poached egg providing a sauce. This was the standout dish to me, representing what Lisboa is all about while not being afraid to take risks. All of the other dishes were interesting too, and each left me with new ideas of combinations that I would have never thought of. After the dinner was so impressive, we were enticed by the dessert. We got the chocolate mousse and basque cheesecake with guava jam. These were Like I said, the staff seemed proud of their establishment and rightfully so. Estrella da Bica may be a small, simple, establishment, but they are not afraid to push the boundaries of gastronomy. This was the kind of restaurant that flies under the radar, but I consider myself lucky to have stumbled upon it.

They mentioned that they'd come here two nights in a row. Naturally we had to check it out. We ordered a bunch of entrees to maximize every little bit. The Ribs and the Brussels were to die for.

Of course we paired with various wine options. It's funny to think about how carefree you can be on vacation. We were seated outside on a sloped hill. The atmosphere and food were so good that it didn't even matter. Our waiter was fabulous. This is a place you need to try.

We had reservations for a party of 2 on a Saturday at 6 PM. When you check in, they give you a slip of paper which has a QR code on it for you to access the menu later, and we were promptly seated upstairs. The menu is conveniently available in several languages (you select your language at the bottom of the main menu page). We were at a long table for 6, with us sitting on the inside and another couple sitting at the end, and the table settings in between us were cleared, so it didn't feel like we were on top of one another. I appreciated that the server gave recommendations that would be good for two people. We went with most of his recommendations (shrimps on garlic sauce (it's labeled as spicy, but it's really not), clams on garlic, tiger prawns grilled on bed of salt) and added some of our own (razor clams and lobster roll). All the seafood tasted fresh, bursting with flavor from the buttery garlic sauce, which we sopped up with garlic bread. The bread is brought to the table when you first get seated. It's not free, which I was aware of, but I knew it would go well with the dishes we ordered. The razor clams were juicy and sweet. The lobster roll was good, but not something I would order again when there's so many other fantastic seafood choices. I usually don't drink beer, but felt that it was appropriate since we were at a cervejaria, so I ordered a bottle of Sagres Bohemia. It went perfectly with the seafood. My SO, who doesn't drink alcohol, got peach iced tea. I wanted to get the prego sandwich for dessert, but my SO was pretty much full at that point, so I ordered a tarte whisky and a cappuccino for myself. The whisky ice cream layer in the tarte was nice and refreshing. I was shocked when we got the bill and it came out to less than 50€. This meal would have cost so much more in the US. You pay via tablet at the end and I left a generous tip in appreciation of the wonderful meal and service. They get you in and out of there quick, but it never felt like we were being rushed out. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for some fresh, delicious seafood in Lisbon.

The entire meal can be ordered for roughly 60 euros and easily feeds two or three.
