The olive oil/olive butter/tapenade starter was excellent, as were the grilled octopus and squid ink linguine with scallops. Completely renewed our faith in Portuguese cuisine after an awful experience a couple nights (and just a couple of city blocks away) before.

Located in a privileged location in Bairro Alto and with attentive and welcoming staff. I recommend the Bife à Portuguese and the Three-way Cheesecake.

The food was good, we got the cheese board, bacalhau, tuna, and a dessert. Delicious! Walked away stuffed!

I had the burger, followed by the Infinito chocolate (this is a must for people who love chocolate), a glass of sparkling rose, 70cl water and all of this, when booking through The Fork and including the cover of bread olives, was €25.25 (approx £22.20). Needless to say I rounded to €30, although I think tipping in Portugal is only expected to a maximum of 10%. The portion sizes are very generous, I prioritised and left most of the bread burger buns although both very nice. The burger was different to in the UK, it was more like steak- very slightly rare in the middle. Excellent. The service was brilliant too and very good English spoken. I don 't eat fish seafood which is a lot of the cuisine in Lisbon so to find a good quality alternative on the menu was great.

We chanced upon DesNotre and whilst reading the menu, we were greeted by a lovely staff member who offered help with the menu. The decor is a mix of the old and new and this theme continues onto their delightful menu. They also have an impressive underground see-through wine cellar. The restaurant was going through their soft launch so we were quite lucky to come across this amazing place. The food was exceptional, fresh local seafood and produce. Tried their take on a traditional Portuguese dish Bacahaul a Bras (salted cod fish) and a tuna tartare. Both were delicious and served and presented beautifully. We also had a jug of their house made sangria made with fresh berries and Prosecco, we are yet to find another place in Europe that makes a better sangria! Highly recommend this restaurant!
