We came to Lisboa for the holidays and didn't plan very well when it came to dinner on Christmas…read moreEve and Day. It rained so hard on the eve, that we couldn't venture very far, so we ended up back at the apartment and ate cereal...lol! So on Natal, we ventured out and just happened to walk by this cute little restaurant. We came in at 5 and were the only ones there. Our waitress was very friendly and spoke English well. We ordered a Syrah from Portugal which was very good, so much so, we ordered a second bottle later in the meal. We both ordered the vegetable soup, pureed vegetables and stock, that was very delicious on the chilly evening. I ordered the shrimp scampi which came in a creamy garlic sauce and the partner had the melon and prosciutto (just look at the size of it!). Since it was a holiday, some things were not available. However, they went and got bread from another restaurant; "Bread with the sauce is very good!" she told me, and it was! We both ordered the steak, and I should've ordered mine medium well instead of well; it was a little tough. But it came with a delicious peppercorn sauce that I had to dunk my fries in. A small salad, with a light vinaigrette, came with the steak. We also ordered dessert; both came with a delicious vanilla gelato, and a smooth chocolate sauce accompanied both. A perfect ending to a wonderful meal. BE AWARE: Bread is not complimentary in Lisbon Tasca D'Lyon was our lifesaver! It had been over 24 hours since we had a full meal, and this one was perfect! The staff was very friendly, especially our waitress, and made us tourists feel right at home. We may come back to try their pastas. They serve Portuguese, French, and Italian cuisine. It's not that far from the Baixa-Chiado metro stop. It became very crowded just before we left, so an early arrival was a good thing.

I started with the chicken wings, which came with about six wings and were flavorful and really good. For my main meal, I ordered the lasagna. The portion was generous with plenty of cheese, but it was missing some flavor and didn't really have that "pop" I was looking for. It was just okay, and I probably should've tried something else. Still, the service, atmosphere, and overall vibe were great. I'll definitely come back and try something different next time.

Also offered us the WiFi so we could Yelp, lol The Noms: Octopus salad - tender and barely chewy Iberico Black Forest pork - tender with good flavoring. Lamb chops - tender and juicy Cod cream soup - very flavorful and creamy Almond cake - a treat since we couldn't be home with family to celebrate the Lunar New Year (Rabbit). It was very good and not too sweet (perfect for us because you know the highest praise from an Asian palate is "not too sweet") would def recommend getting this In Conclusion: one of our best and favorite meals in Portugal. Very consistent as in we enjoyed everything we ordered... other restaurants, our meals were hit or miss around the table. Would highly recommend!

After this we finished our drinks and ashes for the check, of course to pay you tend up go inside. Not a pleasant experience on our end.

Really slow service Really salty, mediocre food…read more Servers were constantly coughing all over the restaurant. Also coughing into their hand. Then touching the food. The food comes out through a small window from the kitchen and the waiters also scream through this window with the food sitting right there...no doubt some drops of saliva made it onto the food. Not sure if I'm more bothered by this bc of Covid or if I'd still be bothered had there not been a pandemic but I'm sure no one wants someone else's saliva in their food. 1 star for the ambiance. -1 for the wait -1 for the food -1 for the lack of hygienic practices -1 for the overall negative experience Also, is the credit card machine really truly broken or is something else going on to make you pay in cash?

Highlights: Michelin guide was so wrong…read more Below average, extremely over salted food (and we enjoy salty food! Relatively over priced Very slow (we were there for 2+ hours, mostly waiting for food and so did every table; maybe it's the local culture to lounge and wait long periods for food?) Fish soup for 2 So overpriced for 43 euro, worst part was it took 1.5 hours to come out after ordering. Salty, basic soup. Barely any fish or shrimp in it. Leaves of mint floating atop. Needs 2x the volume of water to dilute the salt out so you can detect any sort of flavor. Made us angry this was recommended, given all the great food we've had thus far in Portugal Black pork tenderloin with boiled bread garlic purée and spinach purée This was fine, the spinach purée were interesting, the garlic bread purée, also interesting -- very strong garlic flavor. Sadly, the pork is was again super duper salty. Basic pork flavor Encharcada dessert Dessert of fried egg yolk drenched in sugar syrup, it was good and interesting but not a must order thing The 2 mains were so extremely salty, we initially thought they made a mistake with the soup. Nope. Seems completely intentional unless they also made a mistake with the pork too. A sadly, disappointing experience.
