Medrosa d'Alfama

Loved this place. Really cozy vibe. Nice food selection (a bit on the lighter side) and fantastic wine. Owner was very friendly as well. We had our baby with us and he didn’t mind at all.

Love this place! After being in Portugal for a week and weaving in and out of tourist traps, this place is great. They have really great food, as well as absolutely amazing service and a great atmosphere as well! We could have hung out here all night. Tomorrow is our last night in this neighborhood and we are thinking of coming back… definitely give it a try.

A real MUST if you want a local place. Drinks, and food were amazing. Owner extremely kind NOT a turistic trap

A super nice small place with a few tables on the hill. Definitely our favourite place for a drink or a small bite in Alfama. Service is always friendly, professional, and quick. Tuna-chickpea salad and the portuguese bruschettas are super nice. An extra plus for being able to listen to the Fado music from the next door restaurant. and a plus plus for happy hour (17-19) sangria :D

The food was incredible, very friendly with amazing service. Great quality for the price!! We got green wine, the sardine bruschetta and the old cheese bites and would 10/10 recommend all three to anyone!

Amazing food, great service, perfect atmosphere. Do you want local Portuguese tapas in a beautiful outdoor location with local prices? €3 sangrias? This place is amazing, the bacalau was SO tasty!

Stop by this authentic and charming restaurant when in Lisbon! I sat outside, a great way to take in the atmosphere. The house white wine and sparkling wine was so good! I shared a number of small plates with two friends I made at this restaurant! A special thanks to Suzanne and Natalia for the hospitality:)

Very friendly guy but unfortunately the food is so disappointing. Not a single item of the menu we ordered was decent so we gave it away to the pigeons. 🥲 chewy and over-burnt chorizo, tasteless bread, hotdog looks like a panini and they use microwave sausage.. there’s not even potatoes or French fries on the menu, only supermarket chips.. really disappointing :/

Fourth stop on our Lisbon Food Tour. Great little place with a view on the top of the hill in Alfalma. Mostly outdoor seating on a bit of a slant, but we still enjoyed the ambiance. First up was Chouriço assado, the local chorizo, which is tasty but sometimes a little chewy, but this was the best we had in Lisbon. Next up Queijo velho with olive oil and Rosemary, a cheese served in a jar of olive oil and rosemary. Didn't expect to like it but it had such a great Rosemary taste I just kept going back for more. And finally a Tiborna with goat cheese, honey, and walnuts, which could have been dessert and it was fabulous.

Chaos. One girl was working and set up for complete failure. They are understaffed. Food was fine, I guess? It was close to our place but we never returned.

The food here was pretty good and I would have to say actually above average. The prices were above average too. Especially for this area. The problem was the people were very rude. When we were walking up, we sat down to try and figure out the menu. Until we told the lady we are going to eat there she treated us very unkind. We had one drink and an appetizer and left because she was so rude. She was arguing with the other person there the entire time we were there. It certainly carried over into our meal. I would not recommend this place.

This was our first meal in Portugal and it set a wonderful precedence. This restaurant is located in the heart of Alfama close to where we were staying and had fantastic opportunities for people watching. We arrived at an odd hour for a meal because we had just landed. Still, our server was very nice and helpful with questions we had about the menu. Our platter of conservas (canned fish) was served beautifully. Beyond that, it was absolutely delicious. The sides served with the fish went amazingly well with it and we couldn't help but eat it all so quickly. A couple of days later, we wanted to eat somewhere nearby that was rated pretty well. We followed our phone navigation... And ended up at this place! We laughed but didn't mind. Service was just as fantastic. We had a plate of Portuguese meats and cheeses. One of the cheeses was particularly stinky, but the rest of it was amazing. Overall, highly recommend this place and if we find ourselves in these parts again, we'd pay it another visit.

Came here a couple of times as it was right next to our apartment. The house red wine was lovely, as was the tapas. Also tried the fish sharing boars which was delicious. Service was friendly and very reasonable prices. Sat outside on one evening and could enjoy the fado singers in the bar next door.

A very friendly, authentic little bar / restaurant with great wine, draft beer and even a local IPA available (bottle). Indoor and outdoor seating. Great spot for having a drink, a bite and people watching.

From first glance, I assumed this place would be a tourist trap. Not so! Absolutely charming spot with outdoor seating. I could have sat here all day in the square, enjoying the scenery, sipping a monaco (beer with berry syrup) or sangria (obviously I had to sample both), snacking on a EUR 2 salad or some toast with tomato and garlic on top (similar to bruschetta). Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend if you're in Lisbon and just need to sit for a few hours and people watch with some snacks and refreshments.
