You don't make a reservation and you don't stay long. But the time that you actually do stay is worth it. Realy good tapas style dishes that you share. The waiters are very friendly and the whole atmosphere of the place makes you feel at home. And you won't spend much money.

this is a rather pricey restaurant. food is OK... but nothing spectacular. portions were rather small. service and atmosphere are excellent. the most ridiculous thing was: we were charged almost €2 (!) for "ordering" two glasses of tap water, which is the main reason to stay away from this place and never come back. a restaurant that doesn't respect its...

We came here after having dinner at its sister restaurant, "Taberna Ideal" (same owner) a few nights earlier and were not as pleased with the food. The "tapas" are a bit small for the price. I understand that tapas are small, but they are usually priced lower as well, bc of the size. These tapas were each around 10 Euro!... More

Visiting in Lisbon for couple of days for business, my Portuguese friend took me last night to Petiscaria Ideal. This is a small and packed place, non-formal, with a family ambiance atmosphere. The theme of the place is "sharing" (like the Spanish Tapas Bars) -- you share a table with other people, you share the plates with your friends. So... More
