Old fashioned Restaurant, but not Old Fashion, I mean, just old.
Great location and parking, but far too expensive. Restaurant was empty at lunch today, I can understand now.
Staff was kind what was the good part.
Had a wine, rated 3,9 at a value of 13eur and payed 60 !! Eur for this wine.
Will not return.

Cafe In was recommended to us. We asked our hotel for information and a reservation. They said it was informal and made the arrangements. It looked like a up-scale bar. When we gave them our name, however, they walked us through a pretty empty more casual area to a room with table cloths and upholstered chairs. The menu indicated that the prices started at over 50 Euros per entry. We asked if the other area had less expensive alternatives and were told yes. However, when we asked to move they said our reservation was for this room. They did point out that there were entrees for sharing which were around 80 Euros. We choose a seafood stew, although my husband would have preferred to make a different selection. It turned out to be delicious. We loved the food. Recommend that you specify the informal area. But don’t miss Cafe In, the food was really good.

First point I am not the kind of person who normally writes reviews, but in this case the experience was so disappointing that I felt the need to write this.
We were there on a company event (around 300 people) and to be able to eat we needed to be near the kitchen otherwise the food would not arrive to us. I will not say the quality was bad. It was normal, nothing awsome, but not bad, but the quantity was a disaster. The behaviour from several waiters was also not nice at all. Probably they were also frustrated. Also for the drinks even a glass of water was being rejected during some parts of the evening. Really frustrating experience. Maybe it's not bad for a standard dinner (I don't know and I won't try), but I don't recommend for any company event with a bigger dimension.

The holiday ended wonderfully with a Cerviche of sea bass and fries. Delicious. Service also super nice and correct. Unfortunately we discovered it too late, otherwise we would certainly have eaten here several times.

When we arrived we found ourselves with a plate on the table and no one showed up.
Supposedly the plastic plate QR Code would be used to see the menu and to pay. But the site did not show the options in full (drinks and crepes did not appear). Employee received the request and wrote a note on a piece of paper, the traditional way. There is no paper alternative to the menu. Have you already checked if the type of customers you have fits into these limiting and annoying options?
The current variety and quality are also far from the Cafe In of other times where excellence prevailed.
Finally, you should take calculated steps when planning on modernization.

Very well located space, well prepared food. Absurdly high prices for the meal served. This is the reason for the low value in the evaluation, nothing justifies the requested value. I do not recommend.

The restaurant is within walking distance of the Lisbon Congress Centre. We were looking for a place to have lunch during a congress, and via the pedestrian bridge, we came to the waterfront where the restaurant is located, literally a 5-minute walk from the Congress Centre. We were given a very friendly welcome even though we did not have a reservation on this busy Sunday afternoon. You already have a glimpse into the kitchen at the entrance, and in an open display case, the daily fresh fish, shellfish, and other seafood are on the ice, ready to be selected. We were lucky with a nicely set table on the terrace. As a starter we enjoyed Gamba's AL Ajilo and Presunto Iberico. Our main course was grilled sea bass. Accompanying all this was an excellent fresh Quinta de cidro sauvignon blanc. I am not exaggerating when I say that all our dishes were delicious and balanced. By the way, if you like cakes, then you should definitely pick a piece of cake from the trolley. On my next visit to Lisbon, I will definitely make a reservation for another experience.

We popped across from the Hyatt for lunch. It’s not a cafe, but instead a very nice upscale restaurant with outstanding seafood and service. This is a perfect place for a fancy meal or a celebration. The fish was perfectly cooked and the waiter was lovely.

Dinner was very good (although pricy but Lisbon is becoming very expensive), the place is nice, much better to sit outside and we had excellent service by Simoes. Thank you!

Definitely misnamed- not a cafe or an inn but a brilliant seas food restaurant. Lovely fresh fish you can choose and have cooked. Excellent wines at reasonable prices

Beautiful view of the bridge and the statue of Christ.
The best seafood in the Belem area. Fantastic fish in the bread. Usually we don’t eat bread, but here it’s hard to say that fish or bread is tastier. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Desserts traditional portuguese. Coffee and tea are very weak for such a meal.
