The choco frito had a light batter on top and you could tell it was really fresh because it was so light and bouncy. The bolinhos de bacalhau were also a highlight; creamy potato filling with codfish mixed in. The asparagus and jamon with scrambled eggs provided a nice balance to our meal. I'm always a sucker for well made scrambled eggs. My favorite dish by far was the arroz de pato. It was packed with smoked duck flavor, and accented with charred sausage and bacon on top. The dishes were on the smaller end, so we ended up getting 5-6 dishes for three people.

We ended up a having a long enjoyable lunch before heading back to the ship. We got there by lunchtime (12:15) and were greeted warmly at the door, being seated immediately. What I really like about Hard Rock Cafes is that each location is different on the inside, but the food is similar and consistently good. We got sat right below an Elton John jumpsuit. Yani was our server, and was mostly attentive throughout. The crowd was diverse, definitely with some tourists like us but also quite a few working locals, taking a break for lunch. We placed our order and the food came soon after. -- BBQ Platter. My wife chose the 2 meat platter (23,95€) with pulled pork and bbq spare ribs. If we were more hungry, would have gotten the 3 meat (including BBQ chicken) for an extra 2€, but we knew we couldn't bring any food back to ship. The pulled pork was excellent, extremely tender and without gristle with the right amount of bbq sauce. The ribs were generous: a half rack, sourced from a good supplier since it was very meaty. -- Southwest Bowl (21,95€) - I've had good luck with this dish in the past, but not this time. Even though it used unusual ingredients (like fava beans and various greens), the mix along with a southwestern ranch dressing didn't really work for me. The chicken breast served on top was solid: large, moist, and filling. It could have easily been a Hard Rock in the states, with one difference being a portual beer (Sagres pint for 6,60). It was very good from a bottle, wish they had a local beer on tap but they told me they had run out. It took a bit of time to get the check, so I had to go up to get it. The 13% tax (23% for alcohol) is included in the price. Learned that tipping in Portugal is not expected, but 10-15% is not unusual for great service. Plus this being mostly an American brand, I think it is expected here. Was able to pay by credit card, though you have to put any gratuities on it first before running it through.

The staff, from management to our server, delivered polished, attentiv that elevated every moment. The menu continues to shine.

By the end of the night, we were sharing dishes with the table beside us and laugh over drinks-exactly the kind of experience that makes a restaurant unforgettable.

I don't understand all the hype. The restaurant was good, not great. The service was very good for…read morethe most part. The decor was dated but in a kind of cool way. Though I must say it does not match the vibe portrayed by the website. It is very bright inside and feels very 1980s-1990s. People said it's high end and to dress well but there were tourists showing up in shorts and t-shirt. Which is fine but again, not the vibe I expected. To start I said I didn't want the couvert. They took away part of it and left the rest. We just decided what the hell and ate some of it. The cured meat (I forget what kind) left a strange film under my tongue I've never experienced eating similar meat so I didn't eat much of it. The cod was very bony. Parts of it were cooked beautifully and parts were very overcooked and chewy. The potatoes were too salty but well cooked. The greens had grit in them and crunched uncomfortably in my teeth. The steak was lovely but the accompanying rice was hard and bland. It was the only place I've eaten in Portugal (and I've tried a pretty large variety of types) where the sever held the credit card machine in front of me asking if I wanted to enter a tip as I was in the process of looking at the bill and paying. I would have tipped anyway but it was definitely off-putting. Maybe the hype is just residue from a bygone era? I was told I had to try it so I did but I wouldn't go back and probably wouldn't recommend it.

The fish fillet was absolutely spectacular, very delicate, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning. The fish was accompanied by potatoes and courgettes (zucchini) which complemented the fish in taste. The poached pear in wine sauce was da' bomb - I am not usually a fruit guy, but I have to admit that it was really exceptional. The dish was very well executed, the flavors were balanced, not too much wine nor tartness nor sweetness everything was perfect.
