Pateo 13

Great spot in the heart of Alfama — definitely worth a visit if you love grilled food! Everything is cooked over coals right outside, so you get to watch (and smell) your meal being made, which adds to the charm. The smoky air and the outdoor seating under trees and umbrellas make for a really enjoyable atmosphere. The food itself is simple but super tasty — sometimes that's all you need. Only downside was the service, which felt a bit disorganized, and it's cash only, so be prepared. Also, I’d skip the bread and olives — not on the same level as the rest of the food. Overall, a strong 4.5 in my book. Would definitely go back for the grilled meats and that unique vibe.

Great outside seating. This felt like a real no nonsense authentic restaurant, fantastic fish, friendly staff and delicious deserts. I would highly recommend!

Patio 13 is a fantastic spot with a truly local feel. I had the sea bass, which was perfectly fresh and flavorful. My wife enjoyed the sardines, which were a real highlight for her. The kids went for steak and salad, and they loved it, which says a lot! The quality of the food and the authentic atmosphere made it well worth a visit. Only down side was cash only.

Beautiful spot in the heart of this historic area. Musicians tend to come and play whilst you are eating. The food is pure and simple, seasoned beautifully with not too much faff. It’s home cooking at its best in Portugal. Staff are attentive and extremely lovely. We tried pretty much every fish on the menu and loved every one. We also had the green wine which was gorgeous! Will come back again and again for sure. Best of all we only paid €20 each!!!

Plus: coal-grilled meats and fish. Charming atmosphere. Minus: disorganized and slow service (waited almost an hour for the food), really poor wine selection and average food. Also, they only take cash. Yes there’s an ATM nearby, but with poor conversion rates.

Very tasty food and friendly staff, definitely reminds you of summer when you sit here. The fish was very nice, we got the cod, sardines and another fish to share (forgot which one) and a bottle of vino verde for 50 euros and given the location and atmosphere was worth it. Each fish comes with a little potato and salad and is about 12 euros each meal. They are cash only here!

The food is delicious. The potatoes are perfectly cooked. The fish is fresh grilled with salt. Exceptional! The food is so good that the restaurant is still working despite its problems. And there are plenty: - Lots of smoke on your face. A coal mine produces less smoke than the grill and the cigarettes in that place. - It doesn't accept card, only cash. - The food takes an eternity. We waited for more than 1 hour for our food. People that arrived after us ate before. - The place is hot.

This restaurant should be a MUST go for everyone visiting Lisbon! It is tucked away in Alfama and is so lovely. I was able to walk in for an early dinner and was greeted warmly. I asked my server what her favorite fish dish was and she pointed out the sea breem so I ordered that based on her suggestion. It did not disappoint. Perfectly grilled and seasoned-the fish fell off the bone and was the taste was incredible. I tried rice pudding for the first time ever based on the recommendation of another server (and the tables behind me and next to me) and I truly enjoyed it. I would have expected to pay between €25-30 for the fish ALONE-it still would have been worth the price-but my entire bill for wine, an entree, and dessert was €18! All in all a great experience. I will be in Lisbon for a few weeks and I will definitely go back again.
