This restaurant is a gem!
9 new and old friends traveled from the U.S. to Lisbon to celebrate our friend's milestone birthday. I had to find a restaurant that would accommodate our large group (and not require us to have to stick to a set menu with limited options). Online reservations was easy, and Cafe Principe Real promptly corresponded with me via email about my many questions.
Vanessa, the host, was kind and so thoughtful! She was attentive to making sure we were comfortable, and took a whole bunch of photos for us before (on the patio) and after our meal.
Kevin, our waiter, was friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. He also gave us a great suggestion about the wine. (Note, he was also reviewed by another Yelpee!)
Our compliments to the Chef and entire kitchen team. The food was delicious! All of it! Nice flavors and nicely seasoned (and not salty). We recommend the shrimp with black risotto, tournedos (beef), and shared appetizers (shrimp with garlic, ceviche, broken eggs). Other friends enjoyed the veal and pasta.
The entire experience was perfect. It was a Monday evening (birthday) so it was not crowded, and we were able to enjoy some quiet and bursts of laughter. Vanessa told me that it gets busier after Wednesday and no doubt, it's because of the fabulous views along with the great service.
The birthday girl and the crew enjoyed the entire experience! Thank you very much Cafe Principe Real! Obrigada! read more
