Old Lisbon Restaurants

Today we were in this restaurant and the truth is that we were very pleased. The place is very cozy and decorated in its style in a very beautiful way. The service was very good and the staff in general very friendly and professional. The food was very tasty, cooked and tasted good. The cod croquettes were great, the roasted chorizo and cod were also spectacular. As for desserts, the Delicias de Fátima was really a delight, very good, one of the best desserts we have tried.

Old Lisbon truly feels like stepping into the heart of Lisbon. From the azulejos on the walls to the cloth table settings, the details immediately transport you to Portugal. The clams were very good—slightly acidic, but easily balanced with a less sharp white wine. Ordering bread is a must to fully enjoy the dish. The cod was juicy, with a pronounced oven-baked flavor and well-cooked onions. The red snapper was good, though a bit on the dry side. Overall, the experience was very enjoyable and remarkably close to what you would expect in Lisbon itself. I’ll definitely be back to try the paella—many tables were ordering it, and it looked fantastic. 🥘

First time on Old Lisbon, we tried the Caldeirada de Bacalhau Fresco (fresh cod stewed in tomato sauce with onions, peppers, and potatoes) and the Caldeirada de Peixes e Mariscos (seafood stew with shrimp, clams, mussels, squid, fish, and steamed potatoes). Both dishes were good and comforting, with fresh ingredients and traditional flavors, though not outstanding. As our first introduction to Portuguese food, it was a pleasant experience, and we would come back to try other dishes on the menu.

I'm Brazilian and I've always eaten Portuguese food at home. I confess that today's experience was one of the best in terms of Portuguese cuisine. The sardines were absolutely perfect, accompanied by a good beer, along with the cod croquettes and seafood. We only had appetizers, and the experience was totally worth it.

The food was delicious!! Perfectly cooked! The service is also excellent
