Went here twice on my trip to Portugal, on my first night in Lisbon, and when I was going to head home from Lisbon after 3 weeks travelling the coast. Such a cute little restaurant, the meat and cheese board was amazing, and so was the Portuguese sausage .. probably the best I've ever had! The green wine was also really nice. I hope to return one day! read more

Tonight I had the most amazing meal in an unexpected place next to a monastery in Lisbon. I had a steak tenderloin with mushrooms potatoes and asparagus sauteed in a sauce made of all the ingredients. my partner had the sea bass which was cooked with fresh vegetables. two passers-by asked us what we were eating and then sat down to join us. read more

Five Stars! Very delicious rice with prawns and tomatoes... Definetely worth the price of about 10€... Gorgeous!

Nice little place next to Lisbon cathedral. Menu has a selection of burgers and mains. I enjoyed the Alheira: a breadless burger made with alheira, a type of Portuguese sausage. Great chocolate cake, light and creamy inside. Good wines. Friendly service. We would return! read more

This place is in a beautiful spot under some huge trees right next to the cathedral in Alfama. They were out of blood sausage which I wanted to try so we started with grilled chorizo and clams in white wine with cilantro. Both were delicious but the chorizo was extremely salty. The clam broth is perfect for dipping bread into. We ordered our meal at 14:00 and at 15:00 we still didn't have the sandwich and salad we also ordered. I told the waiter we would need to be leaving soon and he offered to wrap the sandwich up. 15 minutes later we were still sitting there. My wife became frustrated and went inside to pay the bill. She said one server was standing around smoking a cigarette while the other was running around doing all the work. Overall good food, poor service. read more

We really wanted to like our experience at this restaurant however due to staff changing when we ordered, things got screwed up. The new waiter coming on shift did his best to rectify the mistakes but it spoiled it for us overall. Our Caprese salad was excellent but our burgers were undercooked and bland in general. The sampler dessert was average tasting but looked really good. Again, thanks to our waiter for trying really hard. read more

This place is charming, the menu is really nice and the food is delicious. Next to the cathedral you can sit and watch the old historical monument and eat. The food is fresh, well made and the pair well. I had the shrimp rice and it was delicious! read more

This restaurant was fabulous! Enjoy the sparkling sangria sitting outside next to the cathedral, castle wall and orange trees. The staff was super helpful and made some really great recommendations. The pork was delicious as well as the 5 mushrooms and tuna! Must try! read more

Simply the best lunch experience we have had during our 10 day vacation in Portugal. Exceptional food, exceptional presentation, and exceptional service - all at a very reasonable price! read more

Great food at fantastic prices! Staff and service were excellent even with the soccer final on and a packed place. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! Fresh food, large selection, cute atmosphere, great service, affordable pricing - couldn't ask for much more. We took about 20 minutes choosing what to get because everything looked and sounded so delicious. For all my fellow vegetarians, I recommend the veggie burger it was amazing. read more

Highly recommend this place. Staff friendly and food amazing. Even allowed us to try the dessert before deciding which one to have. The sangria is also very good. read more

We came for dinner around 7:30 pm. They sat us down, handed us menus and then ignored us. We left. It's a young crowd, and in the 20-minutes we were there no one around us got any food. Realize things are a bit slower in Europe, but, bad customer service is bad customer service. read more

Such a nice cozy and friendly spot. Run by a few very friendly 20- or 30-somethings in a cozy but not fancy spot just across from the big cathedral. Very tasty food and relaxed vibe. We sat for several hours just ordering small dishes and drinks. Clientele included a couple of young families - so it did seem kid friendly - some young hipsters, and some tourists like ourselves. read more

Not very tasty, small plates and quite expensive. Sorry... yelp didn't help us with this suggestion

We went here based on the reviews, but were really disappointed. Waitress was super unfriendly and seemed annoyed by foreigners. Food was really not good. Definitely felt it was overrated. read more

Very cool little restaurant. Interesting menu has many options that will have you second guessing your choice. The beers available are delicious- they have local artisanal beers which were amazing. Small outdoor patio has limited seating but you may get lucky. Or you can pass the time in the lounge area and enjoy a delicious sangria while you wait. Highly recommend for anyone in the Lisbon area. Close to the cathedral so you can stop here before going in for some prayers or sight seeing. Just a quick walk up the hill to the castle, too. Plus they're open to 2 am so you can stop in late. Loved it. read more

By far, the best place we ate while in Lisbon. I had the shrimp and rice which was incredibly flavorful and left my tastebuds wanting more. We also had the pork with fried polenta and shrimp. It was succulent and devoured within minutes. This meal was the perfect send off for our last day in Lisbon. I highly recommend stopping by if you are nearby. read more

I would give Cruzes Credo five stars for the food, but I won't be returning due to the inexcusably bad service we received last night. From the beginning of our visit I could tell the staff were busy and not enjoying the work that night. We were curtly told to sit outside and the waiter then came back 10 minutes later and simply demanded that we "Tell [him] the drinks." We then proceeded to wait for over an hour for food without any explanation or attention from the waitstaff. The couple ahead of us, also foreign, grew visibly impatient at the wait and complained. I'm fairly sure they left without getting food. A Portuguese pair that had arrived about 20-30 minutes after us had already been served food, which made the fact that none of us had been served feel intentional. After over an hour of waiting we inquired with another waiter, who explained that they had two large parties inside and were overwhelmed. According to him, many parties had also ordered the same dishes, which makes think our food got diverted in order to serve the larger groups at the same time. We received an appetizer a few minutes later, but it would be another 20 minutes before we received food. When we asked for the bill, our main waiter asked if we wanted dessert, and when we declined and briefly mentioned that the wait the had been rather long, he dropped a utensil onto my mother's plate, smirked, and said that it "wasn't on purpose." He gave us the bill a few minutes later without any discussion or interaction. I understand being exhausted by tourists, but we were easy, friendly and very patient. I live in Europe and don't expect American standards of service, but this was beyond the pale. read more

Loved this quaint restaurant with little nooks and crannies for intimate seating. The service was superb, wait staff friendly and informative. Food was delicious. We had the vegetarian salad and goat cheese toast with green wine and Portuguese beer. The chocolate cake was rich and more a mousse and brownie than a cake- yummy!! read more

Cruzes Credo was excellent! The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was so good! We ordered the clams to start and they were delicious and served with warm bread for dipping. We also got the steak with potatoes and egg and the seafood stew, both excellent. The steak was cooked perfectly. The seasoning and flavor in both dishes were great. Would highly recommend! read more

I do not recommend this place for their service. We first went and even called ahead and they said their kitchen was open. We took a trip to try it out and when we were going to order, they said their kitchen was closed; so we ordered a drink and left. We wanted to try a second night and called ahead and they told us yet again their kitchen was open until 130am. Mind you we walked in the rain (one of us fell and scrapped a knee and elbow) and arrived an hour before they "said" their kitchen was open. When we sat down to order food, they turned us away again by saying the kitchen was closed. We noticed the chef was outside and did not care to accommodate us. I was excited about this place but I feel they do not care about the people. You should not lie to people who actually make a trip for you only to deny service that you advertised. Please do not tell people that you are open when you are not and please change your available times as this is very wrong and misleading. read more

The food was good, fresh and well made, but the service was terrible and insulting, which ruined the experience. My wife and I have both worked in the service industry for 15 years and are not biased or cruel, here's the facts: We were sat inside at a nice table, and it took the waiter 30 minutes to approach us, I tried to flag him down but he ignored us, I had to get up and ask for water and a menu, when we finally ordered we asked for a Greek salad and a mushroom appetizer, non-complimentary bread, and a salmon and tuna entree. 30 minutes later the entrees arrived, and when I asked the waiter about the appetizer and salad he blamed the kitchen, but said another table had ordered the same things and that he would bring us theirs. We finished our entrees and the appetizers still hadn't arrived, when I flagged him down (which took great effort) he said he forgot again, and to be sure "we ordered Caprese salad and goat cheese appetizer right?" It was as if he was doing this all on purpose. I had been very cordial up to this point and there was no reason for him to be so neglectful other than absolute carelessness. He didn't offer to comp anything and was very cold until the bitter end. read more

The food was pretty good. I had the tuna and my husband got the beef steak. The tuna was really good, especially with the veggies and sauce that it came with. The best part about the beef were the veggies, the steak itself was so chewy and flavorless, my husband ended up sharing my meal with me. The service here was painfully slow and there was hardly anyone there at the time (5 pm). read more

Food was delicious, plating beautiful, service was awesome. We were 3 travelers staying in the same building as this restaurant and was recommended by our host. Turns out it was a great choice. We had sirloin steak, pork and salmon with their associated side dishes cooked in the traditional Portuguese style. read more

Cruzes Credo is one of our all time favorite restaurants. The food is amazing, but it was the combination of the food AND the wait staff that make eating here a great experience. The wait staff is knowledgable, friendly, and relaxed. They were really great with our two young kids who begged to come back again the next day--which we did! The prices are very reasonable especially given the high-end quality of the food. We loved the comfortable atmosphere and the outdoor seating. You will not regret eating here. Oh and don't forget to order dessert. We got the trio and loved all three desserts! read more

Great food, reasonably priced food, and great ambiance. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Very conveniently close to our hotel in Alfama. Came here our first night and came back another 2 times for dinner and drinks as well. Cozy and welcoming, the staff is helpful and friendly. Everything we ate was great. Left every time satisfied. read more

Amazing food and great service! I was here with a group of 10 friends and the restaurant was very accommodating, making room for us without a reservation. Even though our waiter was new, he did an excellent job. The wine was excellent and reasonably priced, as was the food. Everyone liked what they got! Would highly recommend! read more

Amazing! Highly recommend the 5 mushroom dish and the figs, smoked ham and brie, both starters but would definitely leave you satisfied if you only want to eat one thing. Also try the codfish main, the fish was perfectly cooked and the chickpea puree was insanely good. The prices are slightly more than other places in Lisbon, but for the quality it's so worth it. Atmosphere is very laid back and when I visited there was only one waitress on the floor, so don't go expecting a quick bite- you might have to wait a little while before you're seen to but as long as you have time it won't be a problem. Looking forward to eating here again in the future! read more
