Cacué

Crab soup had a good roe amount blended in, more of the dark flavour from the crab miso. The crab flavour is decent, however the ginger is very harsh here. It accounted for half the flavours on your palette, and particularly annoying was the fibrous bits of ginger. It's really weird all the reviews said good things about the crab soup yet no one bothered to attach a picture. Razor clam rice didn't use good enough razor clams. The rice was mild, so it really required the razor clams to be sweet to add flavour to the dish. Unfortunately, they were bitter and not the freshest, so the dish failed. The mild rice on its own was pleasant, although the grains were a little undercooked for a stew dish like this. For a dish that's soft, the tomato seeds with its bite really didn't work The chocolate mousse was absolutely fantastic. It matches up to the best Parisian versions I've had. Very sticky, rich, slightly sweet and the chocolateyness was there too. Because it's rich, I had to sip on water between spoonfuls, and also it gets a bit too much near the end, so best to share it. 3 stars if not for the flawless chocolate mousse. This is a place that does unique Portuguese dishes not easily found elsewhere, unfortunately despite the good ideas the execution/ingredients selection are not up to par for them to shine. The prices are very reasonable though, so maybe I should not have evaluated them as an elevated restaurant. 3 courses for 30€ Also, Easter weekend sat at 8pm and there's only 3 tables at any time, I wonder why?

Solid traditional Portuguese menu. Service was prompt and professional. Based on other reviews, I was expecting a lineup at lunch time. The restaurant was empty. Perhaps because it’s the early spring. Tasty, simply plated and good.

Between Corte Inglés and Saldanha, this small restaurant serves as the lunch canteen for the larger companies in the area with a short menu with daily specials in good servings at a fair price; the wine list was mostly sold out, and the spacing very limited but the service is efficient and the ambiance quite informal and friendly. We were 2 for lunch that shared the croquetes, had Filetes de Galo and an excellent feijoada with a an excellent Dão, coffees and water for €45/pax

ImmigrantFoodie highly recommended this and I was not disappointed. I loved the chocolate mousse it was incredible as well as the cod dish and roast beef!

Great authentic Portuguese restaurant. Family owned and operated. I had the Crab Soup, the Argentine Shrimp w/ rice, the Tomato Salad and the Chocolate Mousse. Everything was expertly prepared and delicious. This is a professional level operation. Highly recommended

Always a restaurant I enjoy visiting as it prepares nice typical Portuguese dishes. Today I found a hair in the tomato rice dish. I told the waiter and the only offer was “do you want to finish the rest of the rice?” Not offering another portion, just for them to remove the hair? The owner was also present in the restaurant and I asked the waiter to pass on the message, but he did not even come to offer an apology

Yummy food! Good service! We were in the area and decided to check out this restaurant. We ordered pork cheeks with mashed potatoes and fried horse mackerel with tomato rice. The horse mackerel was the dish of the day. For drinks we had tília tea and abatanado coffee which was strong and nicely bitter. Not forgetting the chicken rissol which was delicious. An impromptu visit that serves us well. We are back again to try the Sliced Pig's Liver and Prawn Açorda. Thanks, Chef Zé for your recommendations, for specially whipping up the pig's liver dish and showing me the right way to eat the Gambas de Açorda dish with a touch of spiciness. It was super yummy and the portion was just right.

Fantastic restaurant!!! We dined here 2 nights in a row as we couldn’t get enough of the great food quality and flavour. The staff is lovely. Poplular with the locals, so better make a reservation. Their baby squid is divine and the roast beef perfectly seasoned. The beef tenderloin also had amazing flavour and the chocolate mousse is to die for! The price is also very reasonable for the quality of the food and service, we always felt like the bill was not expensive at all. Keep it up, you will definitely see me again if I ever come back to Lisbon.

4 & 1/2. Lunch at this thoughtfully updated yet still perfectly classic "Tasca" (a traditional working class Liboa purveyor of low priced basic yet classic and simple Portuguese dishes) was the perfect welcome/introduction to this amazing city, which is surely likely my favorite city on the planet at this exact moment in time...Conveniently located mere steps from our hotel, the apparently as of yer un-Yelped VIP Executive Picoas, this picaresque little cafe offered the charm of a Hollywood set piece of classic European cafe that could play as Florence, Paris, or any of the other classic cities, because Lisboa is right up there with them! Despite its location smack in the middle of the central business district the place somehow manages to have the charm of a local neighborhood spot, and besides us, the place seemed to be filled entirely with actual Lisboans enjoying their meals in the typically leisurely fashion. Oh yeah, our meal here definetly set the tone and primed us for the norms of service here in this country, and rule number one being Do not go out to eat if you are in anything approaching a rush! While it may be on the Atlantic, the laid back Mediterranean spirit nonetheless, endures here, and service is not quick, and any attempts to speed it up will not only be unsuccessful but most likely result in you receiving a much deserved eye-roll, or worse. Regardless, although not fast the service was professional and courteous, as would also prove to generally be the rule here. Tascas typically serve a small menu of simple and satisfying greatest hits of Portuguese classics. This one was no exception, and it wound of having some of my favorite renditions of the dishes I would quickly become well acquainted with on my jaunt across the nation. Perhaps one of the most ubiquitous, and most classic of these dishes just might be the cilantro-based clams in green sauce, and the version here was surely amongst the best I had, a brilliant nearly neon green broth of emulsified cilantro, garlic and oil drowning delicious, tiny and amazingly flavorful clams of the type I usually know as manilla clams, oh man just thinking about that now, makes my mouth water, it took great restraint not so slurp up every last drop of the sauce with a spoon. A bite into this and I was already pretty much ready to cosign the late, great Bourdain's statement that the Portuguese prepare clams better than anyone else on the planet. Other highlights were perfectly fish fried fleets of decadent and bracingly fresh-tasting John Dory fish, priced probably 1/6 as much as you would pay for them shipped and not at all fresh in some fancier European metro, and perfectly flaky and unctuous pastys stuffed with beef, and the uniquely Portuguese and insanely delicious smoked sausage know as Alheira. I washed these down with 3 dollar glasses of insanely delicious Portuguese wine, leisurely paid our shockingly low bill, and walked out with a combination of satisfaction and amazement, already secure in my feeling that I had arrived at one of my favorite cities on Earth.

This is a small and friendly, very good little restaurant near the Sheraton and other American hotels in the area. We stopped in for dinner twice because the food was so good. Bring your euros or other cash with you as they cannot except anything other than Portuguese credit card. Although I think this may have been a ruse to get us to pay in cash. Limited but good wine list. Nice cod dinner. Also liked the slow-cooked pork cheeks. Desserts were disappointing. Seating is very tight. Bring cash. Service can be slow with only one or two waiters. Did I mention that almost no international credit cards are accepted?

We walked-in to Cacué around 8 pm on a Sunday evening. It is a small, clean reasonably priced restaurant located behind the Sheraton-Lisbon hotel. Our waiter spoke fluent English and was very helpful. They serve traditional Portuguese food. Their appetizers - beef tongue pasty and Risol were so good we had to order seconds. My wife had the John Dory fish fillet and I had the Arroz de Cabidela(chicken rice). The food was delicious. We had dishes we've never tried and truly enjoyed the the experience. Give them a try.

Stumbled in here after about twenty hours of flying from the US, we found it killing time until somewhere else we had been looking at opened. We are glad we came. The food was simple and flavorful, the perfect combo of excellent ingredients and excellent preparation. Recommend the oxtail croquette, carrot soup and rabbit stew. Our waiter was funny and charming and I'd come again just to have him as our waiter again. Were also very friendly to my 9 year old son (who adds a vote for chocolate mousse for dessert.

A delightful little restaurant with a good menu, not overly ambitious but with plenty of choice, no matter one's mood. Everything on my first visit (specials) was good enough that I had no choice but to return again and try menu items - delightful clams followed by perfectly grilled cod. Service was responsive (not slow in my experience anyway). During my first visit they made me feel like a king, and then like family during my second visit. I would love if restaurants in other major cities which charge 3x as much for inferior food would treat me this way.

Cosy little restaurant that we stumbled across en route to a 'rated' restaurant. Some of our best meals have happened this way. Delicious fresh seafood. Had grilled prawns and a simple mixed salad. My husband had the tenderloin with 'dark cream sauce' and creamed spinach. Came with perfect, fresh cut fries. Also delicious! Very reasonable wine prices. Nice to have a waiter that speaks English so you don't miss anything! He was very happy to explain everything!

After a week of traveling Portugal, this restaurant quickly jumped out as our favorite for both its exceptional food and friendly staff. It's hard to imagine anything on this menu not being great, but we especially loved the John Dory fish, beef tongue pasty, and tenderloin with dark cream sauce. We will definitely make a point to visit every time we're in Lisbon!

This was our first food experience in Lisbon & it set the bar high. It tasted like everything was made from scratch.

The service was terrible but the food was good. They didn't bring what we ordered and this place did not accept card from any where except from Portugal. The guy who served us was unfriendly and kind rude
