Cais na Preguiça

One of the best meals we had in Lisbon! We tried the arroz de polvo, arroz de polvo com gambás, polvo à lagareiro, and the seafood paella — everything was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The octopus dishes were incredibly tender, and the seafood paella was rich and satisfying. We also had both the red and white sangria, and they were both perfectly balanced and refreshing. The service was absolutely outstanding — very friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, perfect for enjoying amazing seafood. Highly recommended — we would definitely come back!

We found this rest thanks to the blond waitress that was very nice and friendly. We ordered a table for 8 and food was amazing. Typical Portuguese food + super nice wine and cheese. Local was very cool and cozy and bathrooms super clean. To be grateful for as sometimes it’s difficult to find in old city center. Octopus y dish top one! Staff very pleasant :)

We stumbled upon this place by chance while strolling through the area, so our expectations were fairly moderate. But we were quickly and pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! The Paella Vegetariana was absolutely phenomenal — easily one of the best we’ve ever had. It was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and incredibly satisfying. The other dishes were also excellent — well-prepared and served in generous portions. As a lovely finishing touch, we were offered a complimentary glass of port wine at the end of our meal — a thoughtful gesture that made the whole experience even more special. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, the service warm and welcoming, and overall, it was a truly delightful dining experience.

We had a wonderful evening at this restaurant. The seafood cataplana was excellent and perfectly complemented the fantastic appetizers. But the best part was the fantastic service. All the waiters were extremely attentive and always friendly. We'd be happy to return – thank you very much!

Like all places on this part of this road, this is a tourist trap, granted, a reasonable one. Food is Ok, and so is the service, however, considering the options in Lisbon this is not good value for money. It seems like it is designed to catch the crowds unloading from the cruise ships.

Excellent service with incredible food. We came in late on a Wednesday night and they were very accommodating, even probably staying late while never making us feel pressured. The Peri Peri chicken was spiced perfectly and our two toddlers enjoyed that as well as the Bacalhaus a Bras. The Sardines were delicious as well, although the process of deboning and peeling the meat off is harder for the babies so we stuck with the other dishes for them. The drinks were delicious as well and were all only €5 for the happy hour. We definitely recommend and will be returning next time we’re in town.

The food was amazing, we got the bolognese pasta and seafood cataplana and freshly squeezed orange juice. It was very savory and warm, definitely recommend, also gave us complimentary samples of cherry liquor. Sadi and Sakil were a great waitress and waiter, treated us kindly and with a respect.

Great service and delicious food. Shakil is very handsome and very polite and served us extra dessert wines. Beautiful view on the street and no extra service fee, love it!
