Tasca do Gordo

Tasca do Gordo was recommended to us from a couple sitting next to us at another restaurant. We are so thankful for the suggestion. Our food was delicious, service was excellent and the atmosphere very enjoyable. We will be back!

Excellent dobrada (tripe stew with white beans and sausage), very good morcela assada (grilled blood sausage), and great value house wine (6.50€ for a bottle). I went out of my way to eat here and was not disappointed. Friendly, but busy, Portuguese-language-only service from the waitresses. Filled with locals on their lunch break. Only LOCAL credit cards are accepted, so be prepared for CASH only. Pay at cashier near entrance when finished (note your table number). Free WiFi is available. I visited November 23, 2023, and again in July 2024, for lunch, each time at about 13:00. You should be able to get a table without a reservation, but it may be worth booking ahead. It's about a 15-minute walk East to Jerónimos Monastery / Torre Belém area where you can catch a tram back to Cais do Sodre station in Lisbon; or a 15-minute walk West to the Algés train station to Cascais or Cais do Sodre. Highly recommended!

Really local restaurant with friendly waitresses, a nice garden and great Portuguese food! Don’t forget to check the daily meals of the menu :)

Fantastic place to eat in Belém - popular with locals and welcoming to travellers ❤️ genuinely fantastic

A very local restaurant in a very non touristic area with good traditional food and a service that made everything it its hand to communicate with us :) I specially recommend the "dobrada", although the meat was too dry for me and my wife.

Absolutely off the tourist path. Totally packed with locals. Excellent food. Outside or inside seating.

Traditional Portuguese restaurant a true gem in Lisbon, not fancy, just exactly what you need, good food

Great value, delicious food. The place was packed full of locals.

Extremely long waiting time and quite a confusion as soon as you enter. The waiters were not the most helpful or cheerful. As soon as we sat down we notice the menu was limited. The food all arrived at different times. My dish, the salmon was wonderful. However, they did not provide us with the proper cutlery for the meat and the Sardines needed a little more seasoning. All of the servings was enough for two people instead of one. All the desserts were pre-bought and lacking a lot of flavour. If you are thinking of coming to this restaurant, I would only recommend you come for the main course as everything else is rather disappointing.
