The tandoori chicken was really good ( just beware that the four pieces you get are all very small) still as part of the lunch special it was a filling meal. We also had chicken tikka masala. The waiter checked if we wanted cream and also the spice level. We opted for yes on the cream and no on spiciness - I think I would have been better otherwise but I appreciate that they asked and gave us what we ordered.

The flavors are spot on. The food is freshly prepared. The ambiance is nice, but it's a bit tucked away and difficult to find, if you don't follow their signs. A really added bonus, is they don't close after lunch hours like the rest of the Portuguese restaurants around the area. So, if you're tired of walking all the palaces, this is a nice place to put your feet up.

Our uber driver recommended skipping the Ponte Final since it was over priced and the food was just okay. He recommended for us to try any of the restaurants by the ferry. So we did exactly that. Dropped by Restaurante Farol and honestly was not expecting much except for fresh seafood. Holy, smokes! This place knows FLAVUURR! This was the best restaurant we had during our Portugal trip. The grilled octopus was butter soft and fresh fresh fresh! The camaron Mozambique was freaken out of this world. Deep fried prawns with garlic butter sauce... it was ridiculously delicious. The sauce was so damn good but honestly, the prawns were the star of the show. It was just so fresh and delicious. The pork dish was equally amazing. So so so good. The service was quick and the wait team was responsive. The restaurant was right by the water so we had waterfront view. Overall, highly recommended and would come back if we are back in Lisbon. A tip for you all, just take the ferry from Lisbon over and the restaurant is literally right as you walk out of the ferry exit.

The restaurant is much larger than anticipated, spanning across a few floors. Servers were friendly and gave amazing recommendations, even stopping us from ordering too much. The sangria was one of the best we've had and the bread was excellent with the butter the cheese. They do charge for these starters, but it's listed on the menu. I made the mistake of eating too much bread before our mains came. We enjoyed the clams and grouper head with a side of greens and potatoes. everything was delicious! It's big enough to share for two, and we still couldn't manage to finish all the food. We wanted to try dessert as it was our last meal in Lisbon, but unfortunately ate way too much and couldn't stomach anything else. Would highly, highly recommend this restaurant! They also gave all the ladies a parting gift (a single flower), which I thought was a cute touch. Paid via credit card and they didn't ask for us to leave a tip.

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.

I didn't realize the Portuguese eat a little bit later at night. It felt like I was in my own private restaurant so that was super funny to think about. Otherwise, though it was such a vibe, it has such a cute interior with paintings on the wall a Christmas tree on the side and a more modern wooden finish. Bathroom is also located on the first floor and it's very clean. Service was fantastic. My waiter, Nabil, was so friendly. He chatted with me and told me a little bit about Portugal. English was not a problem for him and I had no trouble as an English tourist. Service was fast, and he checked in with me every couple minutes. I had gone here as a recommendation from a coworker, and it was fantastic. The duck confit was cooked so tender and served with rice and spinach. The rice tasted cheesy and rich and it was also perfectly balanced with the meal. I highly recommend that as a dish! Otherwise, though, I ordered the green wine and it was pretty good. In Lisbon, I was told to try the green wine because it's from a specific region. It tastes kinda like a Chardonnay.

As we walked by we saw six different tables occupied by couples and each of them looked very happy with their meals. Not going to lie we checked out what was on the tables and everything looked extremely delicious. As we hovered in front of the restaurant, a server approached us and asked if we were looking to have dinner and we told him yes. He sat us next to this couple and we looked over and saw that they were about to leave. We asked them for their recommendations on what to get and they literally said everything they had was delicious but we for sure needed to try the tuna salad that was on the menu. And as they kept talking about the food they're like you know what we're just going to let you have our receipt because all these things we would order again. And sure enough they gave us their receipt and we ordered every single item that they did in an additional one which was a sardine toast. Considering that the restaurant was in a busy area because of all the bars and restaurants around, the Ambiance was not chaotic. There was definitely foot traffic going up and down the alleyways but it was very chill. People were smiling, laughing, and just overall having a good time as the night progressed. We never got the name of our server, and I call that out because multiple people throughout the night came up to him and gave him a big hug, some were extremely excited to see him because they didn't think he still worked there, and others were appreciative of the time they had with him. Overall it sounded like this individual had been there for years and actually trained a lot of the folks on how to have a great restaurant experience. Hands down we would definitely come back the food again was super fresh, the flavors were just so well balanced based on the sauces that they had and the crunch when it came with the texture depending on what you ordered. And again we ended with the lamb and it was so tender, not gay me at all, and I would definitely have ordered another one if I wasn't so full.
