Why Travelers Love Boteco Português
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Great tasting food and drinks. Really easy for non portugués to order here, they bring you an ipad with pictures and descriptions. Friendly staff. Inside and outside seating. In fairness, the food and the wine were superb. But, the service was a really a let down. The food took an hour to be served (I didn't order a starter, though). I ordered the wine and my guest tasted it. I called the staff to complain about the delay, he called the kitchen and left without telling me anything. More waiting. Once the food had arrived we had to sit a further 5 min for cutlery so we could eat it!! Surely attentative staff should have realised we had no cutlery on the table!! Let's not even talk about desert delay!! I'd suggest the managment to get the grips of this team; lead and training it. Business is Not up to scratch yet, sadly. Great place to feel a little bit as being in Lisbon. Excelent food and fabulous service by Ivan and Marcelo. Shure I'll be back!

Place of easy access. Good service. Easy to make a reservation via Google maps. The environment is nice to come with friends or partner. The food is good. The portion of food can be shared with 2 or 3. The price can be spicy.
