Very average. Came because a lot of local family owned eateries seem to be closed on Sundays and the guidebook I was reading suggested this paired with a trip to the Oceanarium. nothing to write home about but also nothing to really complain about. Service is, as some people have mentioned on Yelp and on Google maps, quite lackluster; resting b**** face seems to be the theme here- a stark contrast considering everywhere else I've visited in Lisbon so far has been filled with top notch smiling service. The RBF honestly sometimes isn't a bad thing if we compare it to the other extreme of overly excited overbearing wait staff checking in on you every two bites. Here on an overcast rainy Sunday early afternoon - first weekend of January 2025 so it's low tourist season and a bit chilly but it's also not too cold to sit outside. Double espresso helped me wake up a bit; had an over priced glass of red wine (7 euros?!!) that was definitely VERY meh. Ordered the Pugliese pizze. It was average- neither amazing nor horrid. Overall, I'd say this place is a tad pricey - it's NYC prices/ what I expect to pay at home, but doesn't quite meet standards to be charging these prices. Basically a hyped up tourist trap. Come here if you're an expat or for the outdoor dining vibes. Eat at the Vasco de Gama mall food court if you want a better value/quality ratio. read more
