My family and I had dinner here and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere inside is wonderful - warm and homey, yet modern. There is also outside seating available, and since it's right on the Tram 28 line there is a fair amount of good people-watching. The menu isn't huge, and I'm a vegetarian - which has posed some problems for... More

We got there between 7:30/8, were the only ones there, and were seated without a problem. Service was typical - I think. As a New Yorker, it's hard to understand and get used the slowness. The pastry with with cheese and honey appetizer came on a small bed of arugula with a berry sauce drizzle- delicious. Entree- black pork was... More

My sister went to that restaurant a few years ago and raved about it, so I decided to give it a try. I don't doubt my sister's tastes when it's about food and since it was just average, they probably changed chef. When we arrived at 8:30pm, the restaurant was completely empty. The host asked us if we had a... More

We went to Senhora Mae twice during our stay in Lisbon... or should I say... we TRIED eating there twice. Both times, the restaurant was closed when it was not supposed to go. We did not go on a Monday (as it is closed), we did not go before 9pm, still, it as always closed! Which was a little frustrating.... More

We arrived early on chilly Wednesday evening, just to make sure we'll fit in nicely. Couple of tables were taken, but we did get a table without a reservation. The restaurant is pretty small so it can get jam packed pretty easily, I'd say reservation is good to make during busier season or day. Service was really good, waiter was... More

I am very pleased with my recent visit. The staff was great and very appreciative for our coming out to eat there! This place lived up to Lisbon Explorer's recommendation. I had duck that night, and I was not disappointed. Such great selections of wine that they pair with your meal! This isn't your mom's rustic cooking, but they take... More

Ate here tonight. My friend and I arrived at 8:30 pm and there were many empty tables, inside and out. We were refused because we didn't have a reservation. When the waiter just walked away, we persisted to him and he said he could seat us in an hour. We were frustrated bur still came back in an hour, hoping... More

The menu here is a real mix of different types of food. Having read the reviews I wanted to try the fig and goats cheese salad. Just my luck it wasn't on the menu the night we went. So I started with the chicken samosas and mango chutney. The samosa's were good, but the fresh mango chutney with spices was... More
