El Clandestino

I was a bit apprehensive after reading some of the reviews here, but the friendly greeting from the staff washes it away instantly and I had to give the food a try. It was really, really good. Exceptionally seasoned, good portions, unexpected flavors. We took the recommendations from the staff and we were not disappointed. The dessert was an extra special treat, both the lime pie and the milk caramel pie! Loved the upbeat atmosphere and unique decor. This place is a bit hidden away, but with the find! Salmon and ossobuco both wonderful. Mushroom risotto yummy.

I’ve been to this restaurant twice since they opened about a month ago and I can honestly say it’s one of the best restaurants in Cascais. Not only for the amazing food and delicious cocktails but the staff are super friendly and attentive. 10/10 would absolutely recommend 😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a Peruvian/Asian restaurant just outside of the historic centre on a little, hidden square which you can enter from different ways. Parking area is closeby but you can also park at Cascais trainstation or the parking garage in the historic centre. When entering the restaurant, the first thing you see is the open kitchen, the friendly owners and a couple of big, calm, cute looking and well trained twin dogs. Which by the way, you do not smell at all in the restaurant. The owner told us they had only started one month ago! The cook is Asian who had a restaurant in Peru, hence the mix here. We started with the lovely and rich flavoured ham croquetes. 5 pcs. for 7 euros, handmade and delicious. And the fresh springrolls in rice paper, a cold starter with veggies, fruit and shrimps in them, very tasty, 5 pcs. for 9 euros. Very special! Then we had the tenderloin out of the wok with onions and tomatoes, rice and fries. I had the tenderloin with portsauce and asperagus, delicious! As there is no side dish with this meat included I ordered extra fries. For desert we had the fresh limepie. The english version of the menu is to be found on The Fork site and will be printed soon. The service is quick, friendly and good. There are 2 spaces to sit on each side of the kitchen. We ate for around 70 euros for the 2 of us, maybe a bit expensive but it is worth the flavours and experience!! Good luck to the owners with this new restaurant!

One of best spots in Lisbon downtown to have a drink. The cocktails are amazing, as well as the decoration and the people who work there really nice! We were received by Pablo who was tireless so we could have the best time there! Keep up the good job!

It used to be a Mexican place, but now it's a Peruvian spot with tasty ceviche and great lime pie. They also have lots of tequila and margaritas to choose from.

There's too many good things to say about El Clandistino without you, the reader, thinking I might actually have a vested interest in the restaurant, so let me summarize. The food is delicious, the staff are wonderful, the drinks are expertly made and the price is right. If you're looking for a fun night in the barrio alto with great mexican food, this is where you should start.

We tried Bao: Super tender dough with bright tasty filling. Recommend. From 18:00 to 20:00 is happy hour and good opportunity to have something new in your food)

Really good food. Good drinks and not expensive amazing service staff was really nice. the only reason I don't give 5 is because portions were small. But definitely coming back
