I honestly didn't realize I was stumbling into what's a pretty iconic restaurant. Galeto is a place…read morethat's been here since 1966, serving the same food counter-serve style to whoever breached its doors - the rich and poor alike. It's a place that's consistently packed throughout the night, but I was actually able to find a table with no wait when I got there. To start off, I asked for the croquette - which to my surprise I received within about 10 seconds. Seem like they just have a bunch premade and under a heat lamp. Didn't like this very much though, as the fried outside felt way too soft. For the main dish, I got the prego - a classic Portuguese sandwich of beef pounded with garlic served within a roll of bread. The lombo version I had used tenderloin as the beef, rather than the traditional tougher sirloin. It was very simple, but quite good. The meat is exceptional - it's got a fantastic sear on the outside, and the flavor and tenderness of the tenderloin really comes through. It feels like eating a nicely cooked mini steak as part of a sandwich; very different than your typical beef patty which often doesn't contain the best quality meat. The bread is solid, albeit a little plain. The mustard given to you on the table is absolutely necessary, although I wish more sauce options were available. For the price of 13 euros, it's not huge, but also not small either. Considering the regular sirloin version costs just 7 euros, you're definitely paying a premium for the meat, but I did really enjoy this meat upgrade. Overall, you're here more for the experience than the food itself, but the food is still quite solid. 7.75/10

The restaurant was very clean for being such an old restaurant and every single table was countertop so lots of entertainment going on behind the counters if you're so inclined to pay attention. The food was phenomenal! Fresh, priced right, great portions lots of options for varying tastes. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone coming to Lisbon. Be prepared to wait, however because there is no reservation option. Everyone stands in line, but the line goes quickly so don't let it deter you. It's worth the wait.

We went for the onion soup, which in my opinion, was the best part of the meal. For main, we had what was a traditional Brazilian dish, mainly because they didn't have a compelling seafood option as part of the lunch deal. All in all, the menu looked good, but I felt that it didn't truly embrace the local seafood dishes. The range was a bit limited as well. Service was pretty prompt and good. Our food cafe out on time, and everything flowed smoothly. Ambience was cozy and quite literally a hole in the wall. We sat outdoors, which was nice on a breezy spring day like today.

I started with the chicken wings, which came with about six wings and were flavorful and really good. For my main meal, I ordered the lasagna. The portion was generous with plenty of cheese, but it was missing some flavor and didn't really have that "pop" I was looking for. It was just okay, and I probably should've tried something else. Still, the service, atmosphere, and overall vibe were great. I'll definitely come back and try something different next time.

Really slow service Really salty, mediocre food…read more Servers were constantly coughing all over the restaurant. Also coughing into their hand. Then touching the food. The food comes out through a small window from the kitchen and the waiters also scream through this window with the food sitting right there...no doubt some drops of saliva made it onto the food. Not sure if I'm more bothered by this bc of Covid or if I'd still be bothered had there not been a pandemic but I'm sure no one wants someone else's saliva in their food. 1 star for the ambiance. -1 for the wait -1 for the food -1 for the lack of hygienic practices -1 for the overall negative experience Also, is the credit card machine really truly broken or is something else going on to make you pay in cash?

Highlights: Michelin guide was so wrong…read more Below average, extremely over salted food (and we enjoy salty food! Relatively over priced Very slow (we were there for 2+ hours, mostly waiting for food and so did every table; maybe it's the local culture to lounge and wait long periods for food?) Fish soup for 2 So overpriced for 43 euro, worst part was it took 1.5 hours to come out after ordering. Salty, basic soup. Barely any fish or shrimp in it. Leaves of mint floating atop. Needs 2x the volume of water to dilute the salt out so you can detect any sort of flavor. Made us angry this was recommended, given all the great food we've had thus far in Portugal Black pork tenderloin with boiled bread garlic purée and spinach purée This was fine, the spinach purée were interesting, the garlic bread purée, also interesting -- very strong garlic flavor. Sadly, the pork is was again super duper salty. Basic pork flavor Encharcada dessert Dessert of fried egg yolk drenched in sugar syrup, it was good and interesting but not a must order thing The 2 mains were so extremely salty, we initially thought they made a mistake with the soup. Nope. Seems completely intentional unless they also made a mistake with the pork too. A sadly, disappointing experience.
