The food was excellent, the service was so attentive. They really wanted us to enjoy ourselves and we did! It was busy but we weren't hurried at all. A beautiful fall night on the patio.

Espaço 39 Degraus is a quaint, cozy cafe hidden inside a building that houses a film museum. I…read morewould never have discovered such a nice eatery without the help of Yelp and some locals who pointed me in the right direction a couple of times once I got into the building. The food was very tasty and my server was helpful in selecting it and then checking on me periodically throughout my meal to see if I needed anything else. One thing that was a little disappointing was that as soon as I was seated, another server brought me a couvert course of breads, butter and cheese. I was delighted to have this to enjoy while my food was prepared. I thought it was complimentary but it was NOT! I saw it was charged as €5 on my bill. Not that I could not pay it but I should have been asked if it was not included. I was obviously not a local as I was speaking another language. Overall, I would recommend Espaço 39 Degraus, and I would dine there again if I had the chance.

Make that VERY slow. Can't figure out why either, wasn't crowded, ordered soup and a beer and it took forever! The fish soup was lackluster and didn't have either fish or flavor. But the beer was cold and it felt great to lounge around and take a break from a hot day. Would I go back? No. But I'm feeling generous with the rating because I enjoyed the experience.

As it is a traditional Portuguese restaurant don't expect any English menu training wheels, but the bacalhau is excellent and keeps bringing me back, or order the Frango (chicken for an alternative) very affordable prices also.

The young lady behind the counter did not speak much English at all but I was able to "coffee" and point at a croissant, so it went well. The coffee was delicious and the croissant was fresh. Good for a snack before boarding the train to Sintra. [Review 16653 overall - 166 in Portugal - 165 of 2022.]
