    This was wonderful dining experience. The space sits along the water and has stunning views. Outdoor seating is gorgeous but the indoor seating has a great vibe as well. The gallery upon entering the building is done very well and I saw some great art pieces. The appetizers and entrees did not disappoint and service was top notch. This was a memorable meal.

    As you didn't ask how it was I will write it... awesome location, very nice building and decoration, so much potential but unused potential. Waiter are nice but not trained. Ask for a glass of red wine and got it 15min after. Asked for peper, the same. The chef that doesn't know how to cook a steak medium rare ("I will bring it rare and if it's not good we will cook it a bit more...") A rib steak of veal with the bone removed... such a mistake... The sides: why in hell you do serve this couscous grains with veggies? It's dry as hell... did you even try your sides? Food: nok, service: inexprienced The experience was such a disappointment... I wouldn't have pay half the price...

    This is for sure one of the restaurants with the greatest view in Lisbon. When you get so much mesmerized with the view, the food gets secondary, which can sort of apply here. The food is not extraordinary but the joy of the ambiance especially during lunch or drink hour compensates for everything. I would never suggest indoor dining here because no use to go be inside the restaurant at night without enjoying this splendid scenery. Espleho d’agua means water mirror. That is exactly how you feel here as if you are walking on a dreamy water mirror. Next to it is the Discoverers monuments which also adds another spectacular dimension. Go for lunch and sit outside or make this place at drinks hour before sunset and before heading to your dinner. If you are on a romantic dinner, you are going to be the winner.

    Beautiful mid century deco and location with the view, that’s all. Service super sloppy, you need to wait ages for someone to come and serve you, their English is not even basic. Food was not up to any standards , bland

    Came here for a wedding brunch with a large group (80+) and everything was great: the food was delicious, the music fit the mood perfectly, the service was really good and the views are amazing! Nice place to come on a hot lazy Sunday. Very spacious inside so you feel like you have plenty of room to relax.

    The Tuna dish was delicious, the location and ambiance were amazing, the prices are good and waiters are nice. My only concern was that the service was too slow and they never got an order on time.

  • 4/5 Alexandre V. 1 year ago on Google • 106 reviews
    I was there at a corporate event and it was cool. The space is nice. There is an outside place with some tables over the river which is very nice. The food was good and the waiters were friendly. If I had to choose a venue for these kind of events I would consider it.

  • 5/5 Jane A. 5 years ago on Google • 49 reviews
    We had a lovely light supper here. They let us order from the snack menu but sit in the formal dining room so we could have seat backs. The pizza was delicious and the service was absolutely wonderful. The view from the restaurant was lovely and so much fun sitting there watching the world go by. I’d highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Natalia 2 years ago on Google • 18 reviews
    Truly delicious food - everything we ordered was top class 🤌 The tuna and rustic potatoes are to die for. The restaurant has a beautiful view, nice calm vibe, and good prices for the quality of food & service. They do cultural events too - we were lucky to listen to a live piano & saxophone concert while enjoying the food. This restaurant has become my #1 place in Lisbon for date nights.

  • 5/5 Romeu M. 2 years ago on Google • 16 reviews
    One of the most beautiful outside views in Lisbon. The building itself also has a beautiful architecture. Very friendly staff. Food is good but prices can be high for the amount of food compared with other restaurants. It is still possible to enjoy a basic meal with drinks and couverts for 2 people for less than 30 EUR and have a great time next to a gorgeous view, which is definitely worth the money. A great experience.

    (Translated by Google) "Hotel" to avoid. Dirty and unfriendly staff. At 2.00 am the (empty) restaurant had very loud music under the windows, perhaps they forgot that they were also a hotel, I had to go downstairs to ask to turn down the volume. We asked for two extra pillows and they only gave one saying they didn't have any more .... There are animals stuck to the wall everywhere and other people's hair on the floor. The shower is broken and lets water out on the ground .... TO AVOID !!!!! (Original) "Hotel" da evitare. Sporco e personale scortese. Alle 2.00 di notte il ristorante (vuoto) aveva la musica altissima sotto le finestre, forse si sono scordati di essere anche un hotel, sono dovuto scendere per chiedere di abbassare il volume. Abbiamo chiesto due cuscini in piu e ne hanno dato solo uno dicendo che non ne avevano altri.... Ci sono animali attaccati al muro ovunque e capelli di altre persone sul pavimento. La doccia é rotta e fa uscire acqua a terra.... DA EVITARE!!!!!

    (Translated by Google) I made a reservation for dinner at this restaurant at 8:30 pm, we ordered the drinks first and it took about 1 hour to bring them (a sagres radler and a mojito) and they only took the order at 9:30 pm because I had to get up if it didn't look like mine table did not exist. Around 10 pm and peaks we started dinner, the dishes were well prepared (duck leg and tuna) but the table service is terrible, when they lift the tables they put their fingers inside the glasses without the aid of a tray which shows a lot lack of hygiene considering that we are still in pandemic times. For dessert, I ordered Romeo and Juliet, very poor presentation, I didn't even have a napkin between the bowl and the plate and it was always slipping. It is extremely well located but this restaurant has seen better days. A certain requirement is to be expected, and we are also paying for the service. (Original) Fiz reserva para jantar neste restaurante as 20h30, pedimos as bebidas primeiro sendo que demorou cerca de 1 hora para as trazerem (uma sagres radler e um mojito) e só nos tiraram o pedido as 21h30 pois tive que me levantar se não parecia que a minha mesa não existia . Por volta das 22h e picos começamos a jantar, os pratos estavam bem confecionados (perna de pato e o atum) mas o serviço de mesa é péssimo, ao levantarem as mesas metiam os dedos dentro dos copos sem o auxílio de bandeja o que mostra muito falta de higiene tendo em conta que ainda estamos em tempos de pandemia . A sobremesa pedi o Romeu e Julieta , muito fraca apresentação, nem sequer tinha um guardanapo entre a taça e o prato estando o mesmo sempre a escorregar. Está extremamente bem localizado mas este restaurante já viu dias melhores. É de se esperar uma certa exigência , sendo que estamos a pagar também pelo serviço.

  • 5/5 Isabelle C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Sensational!!!!!! Varied menu, with wonderful starters, good wines and delicious main dishes (especially duck, lamb and tuna)! The service is one of the best in the city, one of the few places you can feel extremely well attended. (Diogo and André were spectacular) and the prices are more than fair, the bill is absurd just after the wonderful night and the level of space. (Original) Sensacional!!!!!! Imenta variada, com entradas maravilhosas, vinhos bons e pratos principais deliciosos (especialmente o pato, o cordeiro e o atum)! O atendimento é dos melhores na cidade, um dos poucos lugares que você pode se sentir extremamente bem atendido. (Diogo e André foram espetaculares) e os preços são mais que justos, a conta chega a ser um absurdo de pouco depois da noite maravilhosa e o nível do espaço.

    The waiters we had that day were really good and the view was beautiful, food was pretty and yummy too. The lunch deal was pretty worth it

  • 4/5 Thankmar W. 6 years ago on Google
    Perfect view from the terrace, fancy architecture, friendly service. We enjoyed lunch at the waterfront and were very happy.

  • 5/5 Gergely J. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant is on the banks of the river, the food is amazing and fairly priced. I recommend the Tuna steak it's delicious

  • 2/5 Tomasz G. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff at the restaurant makes sure that you feel like you are a disturbance and they don't want to see you again. Mediocre food. Look for other options, there are many nearby.

  • 4/5 Malcolm B. 3 years ago on Google
    Great space with fine views and a varied and tantalising menu to match. An easy but attentive service means you can take your time to savour the food, the outlook and company

  • 3/5 Lisa E. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and service was just ok. Recommend ordering “mal pasado” if you don’t want your steak cooked beyond well done.

  • 5/5 emrachael 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing location right on the water next to a tourist attraction. Despite it being a fancy looking restaurant, the “cafeteria” menu is amazingly affordable, and the quality of the food is impeccable. The pork belly, mussels, and vegetable pasta were hits with our group, and all being under €12 euros. They have vegetarian, vegan and lactose free options. The wait staff were very accommodating, allowing us to sit inside even though there were preparing for an event. They even helped us out with translations as we are from Australia! Would come back again!

    The location of this restaurant was beautiful and the food was exceptional!! We ordered some pasta with fish and an entrecot and the quality and flavour were amazing. The bottle of white wine at the terrace by the water was unbeatable! One of the top moments of our holidays! Thank you!

    (Translated by Google) I went to celebrate my birthday with my husband and 2 couples friends. We started to suspect that something was not right with the starters, as they came with a poorly presented presentation (something that is not usual in a restaurant with that price list ...). The wife of one of our friends received the main course completely unappetizing. We asked to call the chef (Mr. Luís Calixto). The employee said that the boss was very busy if I wanted to, I could put in months of salt to my taste. Neither I nor my guests will return to this restaurant. At least as long as the chef is Mr. Calixto (Original) Fui festejar o meu aniversário com o meu marido e 2 casais amigos. Começámos a desconfiar que algo não estava bem logo com as entradas, pois vinham com uma apresentação pouco cuidada (algo que não é habitual num restaurante com aquela tabela de preços...). A esposa de um dos nossos amigos recebeu o prato principal completamente insonso. Pedimos para chamar o chefe de cozinha (Sr. Luís Calixto). O empregado disse que o chefe estava muito ocupado se eu quisesse podia por sal de meses ao meu gosto. Nem eu, nem os meu convidados voltaremos a este restaurante. Pelo menos enquanto o chefe de cozinha for o Sr. Calixto

  • 4/5 João X. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was very nice, with a fusion menu vaguely inspired on Portuguese discoveries, from Brazilian food to Japanese tempura, which fits well with the maritime empire theme of Belem monumental setting. We had chicken moamba with funge, muqueca and tempura (although closer to peixinhos da horta) and were all tasty. The interiors are simple, light and elegant, stressing the proximity with the river, with an art gallery in one room, a cafeteria /lounge space and a dinning room. Outdoor sitting could have the seats improved as they are a bit weathered. Recommend going during lunch, when the relationship with the river is enhanced. When we arrived it took a while to grab a waiter attention to get us a seat, but apart from that, service went smoothly. Maybe we arrived too early?

    (Translated by Google) Good to eat, a place with a wonderful view, I don't give it 5 stars because one of the dishes that accompanied the tuna, the vegetables were extremely salty. For the rest nothing to point out, leaving 5 stars to the two young afro girls who attended me and my wife during lunch. Anyway visit, it's worth it and I'll be back for sure (Original) Bom para se comer, lugar com vista maravilhosa, não dou as 5 estrelas porque um dos pratos que acompanhou o atum, os vegetais estavam extremamente salgados. De resto nada a apontar , deixar 5 estrelas às duas mocinhas afro novinhas que nos atenderam durante o almoço a mim e a minha esposa. De todas as formas visitem, vale a pena e voltarei com certeza
