My girlfriend found this place after doing some research and came highly recommended. The venue is cozy but open. The staff were helpful and friendly. We ordered the spicy shrimp, croquettes, fish, and pork with gin drinks. The drinks were tasty. And the food, perfectly cooked. The spicy shrimp was actually spicy, and it was delicious. By far, my favorite was the pork. Tapisco is a cool restaurant with amazing staff and excellent food. A must when you're in Lisboa.

One of the best meals I can remember, and definitely the best meal we've ever had in Lisbon. 4 of your customers left very happy today. The meal was faultless, the staff were amazing and the wine was superb. Thank you for making our visit so memorable. We'll be back, very soon.

I was really looking forward to this place. Unfortunately the service is so slow. I asked for the wine & drinks menu 4 times to 3 different wait staff before getting. We sat at the bar facing the kitchen - the food is all pre-patched and and just finished when you order. Feels a bit like system gastronomy or industrial fine dining. It’s missing soul and vibe. And the food is ok but it’s not great. And the portions are tiny for the prices you pay. I wouldn’t go back. The seafood rice had 3 scallops, 3 mussels and about 3 shrimp for €33 euros.

The food is phenomenal. We tried the octopus salad , Bacalhau a Bras (cod) and the Lisbon
Bomb - a local croquette. Everything was authentically made with high quality ingredients and very balanced taste. Portuguese wines by the glass were a perfect accompaniment. The servers super friendly and adapted to our mixture of English and Spanish.

It was an unforgettable meal in Lisbon. Everything from the food to the ambiance and service was excellent. The croquettes were crispy on the outside, with tender meat and potatoes inside, and the sauce complemented them perfectly. The cod dish had an incredible umami flavor, perhaps due to being semi-dried, and the plating was elegant. The baguette we ordered on the side had an amazing smoky flavor. The atmosphere was very sophisticated, with the open kitchen adding a touch of intrigue, and the staff's attitude was also outstanding.

The food is amazing and the shrimp on the squid ink paella is to die for. And the portion is surprisingly big!
However the service has a huge room in improve, there are in total 4 pretty basic mistakes during the 2 hours dining time, which make me wonder how the Michelin guide recommendations coming from.
1. We reserved for a table and we confirmed over phone that morning. when we arrived, they insist that we book for a bar. Pure miscommunication between the back office and front office.
2. The waitress spilt water on our table and napkin was wet. They did apologise but did not offer us a new napkin until we chased them for 2 times.
3. This forgot our order.
4. They put a wrong bill, charging a whole bottle of wine instead of a glass.
I understand they are quite busy and serving a full house is stressful. The food is absolutely amazing and totally worth the price. But I do not expect this service when you are paying €150+, where the mistake was pretty basic and careless, I do not trying that is too much to ask for to pay a little more attention as those mistakes and have a great impact on our dinning experience.

My favorite spot in Lisbon! The food was amazing and the service was exceptional. Kudos to Birtish – I hope I’m writing right her name, who was our hostess and gave us great recommendations. I got lucky at getting a place without reservation, but I would totally encourage getting one in advance.

The service was okay. Very friendly people but they are in hurry. We had tl wait for the bread but the shrimps arrived earlier so it was grtting cold.
The food is nice but if i pay 30euros for shirmps in olive oil i expect to be good. The texture of the food was good and i think it was also good quality but the amount of salt was crazy. It was completly oversalted.
I would give 4 or 5starts if for that price if the food would have not been so salty
