An excellent place to try local Portuguese food. Food is fresh and service is fast. The menu is extensive. The environment is friendly and gives you the local vibe.

Been here for lunch with family on the esplanade, and got really disappointed with everything. Typical trap for tourists and a terrible disservice to Portuguese traditional cuisine. Expensive prices for very low quality dishes. What a waste of money and terrible lunch for our last...day at Lisbon. Just avoid this place. Also bathrooms are just dirty and the location is quite messy as the esplanade is very close to a train station and major roads of downtown.More
Delicious local food. Very fresh food and absolutely fast service. I would recommend this for those wanting to experience the taste of Portuguese local food.
The menu in this place comes with pictures which are nice for tourists who don't know Portuguese to figure out what they are ordering. We had codfish and monkfish. Both were very good. The surprise was that we were told at the end of the...meal that they only accept cash. That's a big inconvenience for tourists.More
This restaurant is trash the food is horrible, the floor’s not clean and the rest is really disgusting. Really disappointed
We took lunch here. We order local steak, fish and soup. Food ready quickly. The taste was delicious enough. Service was standard. Anyway, lucky I prepare enough cash because they didn’t accept card.
I have heard it is a long-established restaurant, but my personal dining experience was not too good. 1. Credit card not accepted: I did not see a "cash-only" sign, and was not told until the checkout. This is not very friendly for tourists. 2. The...cost-performance ratio is low, the price of drinks is a little more expensive than those in cafe at tourist spots. 3. Bitoque (a kind of steak) tastes so-so, similar to the quality of the cooked food in the supermarket nearby. 4. Other people said that the price for eating at the dining table is more expensive than at the bar table. It is not fair to the tourists if they are not informed in advance.More
Sujo, funcionários mal educados (até grosseiros) e comida muito ruim. Não passe nem na porta. Vi esse funcionário agredir um cliente. Lugar perigoso ! Dirty place, rude waiters and really bad food. Don’t even stay close. I saw this waiter being really agressive to a...costumer. Dangerous place. !More
Awful service, cold food and high prices! The worst place in Lisbon, so I do not recommend you to go there!!!
We had some difficulty finding it. We nearly passed the place because the sign was oddly located by the side of the building. Just in front of the Rossio station, this tiny place gets extremely crowded and is very popular with locals. Definitely not a...good place for a romantic dinner but perfect for lunch or a quick snack. Plates are big, not expensive and taste incredible. The bifanas here, are out of this world! It’s a traditional pork steak sandwich (in a Portuguese bun), and Beira Gare serve the best I’ve ever had (by far!). Strongly suggested, I will go here againMore
First of all: stand at the bar, do not let to be seated. At the bar you gonna feel yourself as a local, at the tables you're a tourist. Try a soup (sopa de dia/soup of the day or sopa de legumes/vegetable, caldo verde/Portuguese kale...soup ), the bifana is a must, with mustard and an imperial (small glass of local beer), if you like it hot, ask for piri piri oil. Try some popular Portuguese fried snacks, chamussa, croquettes, rissóis/fried turnovers. The guys over the counter are the same for decades, everything goes smoothly and incredibly fast. You gonna feel yourself as a local for some minutes! Do not forget: only at the bar, no tables!More
Was shocked after reading all the hype on culture trip and other sites about this place to find the food inedible! Both my fries and the meat in my sandwich was served cold. The bread Used in my breaded pork bifana was as dry and...stale tasting as sawdust and my pork was cold and so dry I could probably snap it in half easily as it was as dry as dust. It was also flavour less and to my surprise completely inedible. For what it was it was well overpriced and I left without eating more than a few bites. The wait staff is ok but uncaring and didn’t seem to care that I left it upon looking at my almost untouched plate after I paid my bill. My partners prego was not as dry (hardly high praise none the less) but he said flavour less and still far from great. Certainly left perplexed about all the hype.More
Low quality and high prices. Probably they have some affordable plates too, but the octopus and the clamps are highly overpriced
We're killing time at the Placa Dom Pedro waiting to go on a gastronomic tour - which never happened! So we had a beer and a glass of wine here. Very pleasant too. Expect to pay about 5 euros for each but check out local...coops where you can buy decent wine for about 2.5 euros. Entertainment was provided by a local rummy who for some reason took exception to an american couple, knocking over their drinks. He was quickly accosted by the cafe bouncer and dragged away by the scruff of his neck!More
Very nice local restaurant, fast food. Best to order FISH, meat wasn’t so good. Service by Nuno was perfect, no doubt he’s the best worker there.
