Very good restaurant. We wanted to try their desserts but we were full after the main dishes. The people are very friendly and the prices are reasonable. We wish that we could come to this restaurant again when we visit Lisbon next time.

The food was excellent!The portions seemed small, but in the end everyone was more than satisfied. If you are near this restaurant you must try it.

A literal hidden gem as the location doesn't favor the place, really glad I found it.On everything we ordered you could taste the quality of the ingredients and the meticulousness behind them, prices and portions are also really good.Croquettes were the best kick-start, nothing to take away from the ceviche of course (freshness at its finest) but those croquettes are definitely a must if you go there.The beef tartare served as a transition to the main dish, and also here the quality was present (capers were missing but I didn't mind it at all).Now for the main dishes, we got the boar and the beef rump with potato puree, needless to say if you're going with the boar you definitely need to pour some of the sauce on top of the potato puree, and the fries were also great, the taste brought me back to when my father was making fresh fried potatoes at home (you can taste that they don't reuse the oil).I wanted to thank the staff for the great service and also the chefs for the amazing food but everyone was so focused and I didn't want to disturb.Thank you for the great dinner!

This is a hidden gem. I ended up coming here because I found the reviews really good. And usually Google reveals on the spot. This time it was no different. It’s hidden because I was walking down the street and I saw no signs or any other markings for the place. However, the food, the service and the experience was incredible.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience!From start to finish, Cartel 36 delivered beyond expectations. The quality of their gear is top-notch — durable, well-designed, and clearly built for serious use. Customer service was fast, friendly, and super helpful, making the entire buying process smooth and hassle-free. Shipping was quick, and everything arrived exactly as described. If you're looking for reliable gear with excellent service behind it, Cartel 36 is the real deal. Highly recommende

This Restaurant goes above and beyond when it comes to quality of food and experience. The staff are beyond welcoming and accommodating. The restaurant is a clear representation of years of experience. This is the place if your looking for that one of a kind hospitality in Lisbon.

Hands down the best food I had in Portugal, and to boot the best service (with a great sense of humor), the best music playlist, and the best ambiance of any place I visited. The food was phenomenal - everything had a personal touch. The cocktails were great. The couvert had delicious butter and cheese spread.We ordered:-The Portuguese Stew croquettes (and got seconds) - melt in your mouth good.-The veal cheek and Lagartinos - cooked to perfection. Server recommended Lagartinos and it was amazing!-Roasted pepper and tomato salad & spinach puree on the side. How can a roasted pepper salad be so good? The spinach was a really nice surprise, almost similar to an Indian saag dish but hard to explain. If you love spinach, get it.Just also can't thank the servers and chef enough for helping us with the menu and giving us the best foodie experience!Oh and the dessert was great too. Shocker!
