On our last night in Lisbon we went up to Bairro Alto without any set plans for dinner. As this was a Friday night the restaurants and streets were a lot busier than the nights before. Wondering through the streets looking for a suitable restaurant for diner we passed Cantinho Do Bem Estar without really having a closer look at... More

Went on a friends recommendation and glad we did. Tables packed together in what seems to be someone's living room but the food was wonderful and ample - bream and fishcakes both. A simple place with great atmosphere. More

Good food and very friendly service. This tiny restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and it feels like you visited good friends. There are only about five tables so be prepared to wait in the high-season. Try the grilled or fried fish. More

It has a great selection of extremely fresh fish and seafood and owner who is a great character will come out to advise you what is best - all done... More
