Tasquinha do Lagarto

The place is as crowded as can be, we came too early and yet people started lining up before it opens. Food is excellent, the fried cod pastels they serve when we just sit down at the table was very delicious, we ended up ordering a second plate. They have menu of the day that changes daily, I wanted to try the grouper rice and the stew but too bad those were not the one they had that day. Octopus was very nice, and the rice was so flavorful. The place itself gave very lively and warm vibe. They don’t have english menu, but the staffs speaks english.

A traditional local restaurant. There were constant queues outside the restaurant. We were lucky to get a table once it opened for dinner. Authentic Portuguese food. The grilled fish is good.

Great, traditional atmosphere and genuine food. I had to wait 40 mins to sit, and I immediately noticed that it was full of locals—it must be great I thought. And it was. Food wasn’t exceptional but good enough. The vibe made all the work tho. Everything was traditional and dining here makes you really havd a portuguese experience. Prices are insanely low. Friendly staff too.

Great food, friendly staff. We really glad we stumbled upon this place, it is packed with locals and travelers. The only down side is they don’t take credit cards, but they made it manageable with very reasonable pricing.

Authentic good Portuguese food! Staff speak very little English but were very welcoming and helpful. Food is simple, amazing, and traditional. Make an effort to come out here, the Callisto Gulbenkian Museum and the Estufa Fria garden are both nearby.

This is a very busy restaurant, serving traditional Portuguese cuisine. It is possible to reserve a table or wait on arrival for a table, just give your name and number of people. The food was tasty and not salty. Option of charcoal grill. Unfortunately the grouper's rice wasn't available, apparently it's a must! The staff were friendly, but quite busy and not enough for the amount of clients. We ordered a salad, that never came. The service could have been more efficient. Recommended.

One of the best experiences in Portugal. This place has hidden menu items. Friday has grouper rice which is an outstanding dish. Very rich flavor, absolute joy. The owner works the tables which is a true indication of the pride he has for his food. Very true and humble. A+ experience. Must have some vino Verde!

A very popular tasca (turned traditional restaurant) with a clear Sporting reference on a main traffic road, it is better to book to avoid long queues in the two salas with an open kitchen making a solid classic menu with great daily menu offers. We were 2 for lunch where we shared a cheese as a starter, a delicious cabrito in the oven for mains, and chocolate mousse for dessert with coffee and water at only €25/pax.

I could develop a very elaborate and lengthy way of describing our experience here, but simply will say that on a scale of one to give stars this place is a 10

It was me and my husband's first time in Lisbon. We found this place on Yelp, and decided to give it a try. The food were very authentic and delicious! We also love the service!
