We made a reservation at Xenu because it was close to our hotel, the HF Felix Lisboa. That proved to be a good decision because we walked in a light rain. Overall, Xenu was quite good, but the 2 waiters were slammed at 8 pm,...More

We had the best bacalhau ever in Lisbon and we return so good it was. The restaurant offers topical Portuguese cuisine and the sauté artichoke as an appetizer was excellent. Not only the food but our waiter Luis Nunes was an amazing person and one...More
