Toma Lá Dá Cá

I went here because of the good reviews and they are right. The staff is very kind and the food was good: the fish is fresh and has a great smokey aroma since it is grilled. As other people already mentioned, it can get full in the evenings, so making a reservation might be a good idea

wow. this was truly one of the best meals of my life. i saw a previous review and copied his main entree and his desert - pork for the main, biscuit cake for desert. when i say this pork was so juicy, please believe me. it was delicious and honestly got better with every bite. the fries were seasoned well, too. My glass of wine was superb along with the pork. My apologies, I forget which wine i ordered, but it was red and I believe it was local. The biscuit cake for desert was out of this world. this restaurant is a true to the bone hidden gem. there's no sign outside, only a posted menu with the restaurant name printed small at the bottom. don't pass this one up.

We had the Veal Steak and the Tenderloin With Goat Cheese. The steak doneness wasn’t on point though. We ordered Medium Well steaks for both and they arrived well done. Besides that, portions are big and the fries are tasty. I would’ve given them a 3.5/4 star reviews had it not been for missing the steak grilling.

Unassuming corner restaurant on a hilly section of Lisbon. We almost passed it by, despite looking for it because there isn't much signage visible. But my goodness, what a great experience it was! The hostess was super friendly and helpful, answering our many questions about the wines and food. We started out with a bread and olive board, which included butter and olive oil. There were toasted and non-toasted slices of very nice baguette, and the olives, while not large, were very tasty, as was the peppery olive oil. The cheese was fairly soft and mild and went so well with the bread and olives. I had the pork for the main, which was a very generous helping of tender pan-grilled pork, French fries and small green salad. I wasn't able to finish all of this, but partly because I wanted to try one of the desserts, which was a biscuit cake, drizzled with dark chocolate syrup. This was a nice way to finish the meal as it wasn't terribly sweet or heavy. We came away really enjoying the whole experience, and felt that we had a taste of honest, non-touristy food - just what we were looking for. Highly recommended

We went with some friends, and the food was incredible – very tasty with a Portuguese touch. We tried the Entrecôte, Secreto Ibérico, Grilled Sole, and Grilled Salmon, and each dish was of the highest quality. This restaurant is highly recommended for trying Portuguese cuisine. The service was excellent, and it's located right in the city center. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. Just make sure to make a reservation before you go.

I’ve been Lisbon 2times. I’ve been this restaurant 5 times. Shrimp, octopus salad, Grilled octopus. Cheese cake. Best routine to me. Let’s go tonight👍 Also… you can use credit cards and Quick pays.

We loved it so much we had dinner here two nights in a row. It’s a casual neighborhood restaurant in an area with a lot of places to eat. Loved their gazpacho - very refreshing on a hot day, the octopus salad was so delicious we had it twice, the beef was tender and the shrimp curry was mild, creamy, with lots of large shrimp and pineapple chunks. Very friendly staff.

Found this true gem after searching for another place to dine when the initial restaurant we planned on was closed for renovation. This was a perfect choice, since the food was so authentic and delicious - my warmest recommendations to try the octopus with butter sauce & boiled potatoes. The restaurant has a very cosy and welcoming atmosphere, it is small and has a local feel to it. If you come without reservation like we did, it is advisable to go a bit earlier, since after 7 pm the place starts to fill up quickly.

What a pleasant surprise. Hard to find but then you're smack in the Bairro Alto and worth walking around before or after. It's a family owned place, no reservations, small inside but the food is amazing. We had grilled sole and it melts in your mouth. The owner waits on tables, and chats when she can. It fills up fast, opens at 7:30 (get there real early). The menu is extensive but stick with the fish since it's always fresh. Dessert menu is limited but fresh. Def try and have dinner here

Family run business that's as popular with locals as with tourists. Speak with the the staff and you will be rewarded with insights about the menu and with homemade drinks. Good food and very reasonable prices!

We heard a lot about this restaurant and were excited to check it out. The first night we went, there was an hour wait with people waiting outside on the street. We took this as a good sign and decided to come back the next night. We came a few minutes before they were scheduled to open and saw that other people too were waiting for the restaurant to open. Eating here is like eating at someone's house. It's a very no-frills restaurant that serves its food simply and authentically.

A bit hard to find but worth the effort. Simple fare but delicious. Wine list is more than adequate and my random pick of a mid price red from Douro was very good. We shared the grilled robalo for 2, (sea bass), and the portion was ample, mild and tender. The staff helped with a taxi to get us back to the hotel. Dessert portions were ample also and delicious, save room!

Food is superb - nothing too fancy, just fresh local produce. Each main comes with side of vegetables and potatoes or rice. Service is nothing special, but fast. If you fancy a quick and filling lunch, that is a place to go. Oh! And white wine (don't know if it was a house wine though) for 2€ a glass was extremely good!!

Delicious food for a great value, but there was a little bit of a language barrier. The meals are very large and you do not need to order starters, but be warned that the fried croquettes they put down at the beginning of the meal cost 6 euros. All of their food is a bargain so we didn't mind too much but we did not feel that they were worth that much and they are kind of forced upon you so be bold. Also no tap water given. It is a traditional place though, so we were happy with the food and value over all.

The food was good however we felt like we were a bother to them. The language barrier was difficult for us all. The place is simple and the price reasonable. My salmon was really good and my husbands chicken was very tasty.

Really nice (portuguese) food with reasonable prices. The only downside is the usual long waiting queues (reservations aren't accepted), especially on Fridays and Saturdays.

Food was excellent. Service was fast and friendly. Have to get there when they open if not you'll have to wait a bit place is small. But it moves pretty good. Would recommend for everyone to try it.
