Cantina Zé Avillez

Bean and Savoy soup smell nice but a bit salty. Ordered Alheir, codfish cake, Dobradinha ( tripe) with rice. Tripe was very tender. Rice was a bit too hard. Otherwise it would be nice. Finally come the dessert, ordered Hazelnut from Cantinho do Avillez. A Delicious dessert. The best dessert I have ever tried. Starts with a layer of hazelnut ice cream, then add another layer of hazelnut cream, to top off add hazelnut crumble. Finally add sea salt. The contrast of sweetness vs saltiness, cold vs warm, soft vs hard. Gave me surprise after surprise. To chase it down, a glass of 10 years white port. What else do you need in life.

Really enjoyed my visit. Food was authentic and very tasty. Service was pitched perfectly - took the recommendation of octopus from the waiter and was very happy. Would definitely go back and revisit.

Food was very good! Recommand octopus salad, fava salad, eggs and croquettes. The terrasse is perfect for lunch, sunny and quiet calm, service was perfect.

The worst dinner in Lisboa. Quality of food is embarrassing. Another monster cousine born on tv. Tuna steak covered (and tasting only) of garlic. Potatoes full of garlic. Old bread. Tuna was fresh and properly cooked but tasting as above. In addition rule number one. You never, never, serve in a broken plate. No reason to have spent 32 € for a plate and two small cups of sangria.

The menu items are creative. Hazelnut sundae was superb. Service was excellent.

Lovely lunch, overlooking a square. The waiter made some great suggestions, even recommending a better wine than I was about to order!

A entree and soup is enough for lunch, pretty good food and service.

We arrived a little late in the evening and the restaurant was half full. The waitress was very friendly and smiling. The food was really good and well prepared, and the wines suggested by the chef was a good pair. Later the manager took some time and talked with us. My best recommendations.
