Primavera - Lisboa

We were a party of 3. The staff was happy to accommodate despite us not having a booking and them being on a Sunday rush. The food was great and combined with local wines it was a great all around experience.

Looks good but can’t match its expectations. Went as a table of ten , those that had chicken thought it was okay , but it’s kinda hard to mess that up. Pork was inedible , chips were all Luke warm at best. Red wine was served freezing cold and when we asked for it to be warmed it was half done for us like they were doing us a favour. Then at the end of the meal we were informed they only take Portuguese credit cards. I was prepared to walk but we rustled up enough cash. This seems to be a common problem which should be explained on entry or at least a sign on the door. Can’t recommend anything about this place sadly

Not meant for foreigners. Waiter was rude and impatient from the beginning and it was not language related because we are Portuguese. The food was excellent. Then we went to pay and at that point was told they do not take foreign CC. We were frustrated but what can you do so we went to leave to get some cash. He wouldn’t let us leave without leaving leaving something. I was going to refuse but my mom left her cell phone. The closest ATM was a 5min walk away in a grocery store. When we tried to explain that maybe next time they should warn people ahead of time. He rudely dismissed us and said “Well, I didn’t know you were paying with a CC.” 5 stars for food and 1 star for service.

The food is dry and they only take cash, but won’t tell you from the start. I had to stay as hostage

Both types of chicken were very delicious and well cooked, which is not always the case. Its for sure one of the best places to have grilled chicken in Lisbon, not the best though to find about the best spot, check my reviews . The rice was also tasty but not the salad. I would have went for 3.5, but now its either 3 or 4.
