    Cute little restaurant with amazing fish/seafood. It was divine! The owner was very friendly and responsive regarding reservation. We even got portwine as a little gesture. Highly recommended! I suggest to make a reservation.

    We had an absolutely incredible experience here. It is so intimate and charming, the owner/gentlemen who runs the place takes amazing care of you and everything was delicious. The amount of shellfish on our pasta we ordered was like nothing we have seen before and we travel/eat out all over the world often. It was a 5 star experience, including a special welcome drink. Wine pairings he suggested were on point and generous pours and interiors were very nice. It is cash only, so bring cash or stop by the ATMs up the street. We will definitely go back!

    Charming, cosy little restaurant. The owner was really nice and the food was lovely. I had sea bass, cooked whole with beautiful crispy skin, along with skin-on French fries. My partner had razor clams and sautéed vegetables. We also had some wine and port, along with Portuguese egg pudding. I really enjoyed the evening and highly recommend.

    Best restaurant in Lisbon, so good we decided to go back to try the rest of the menu the following day. Must try: chorizo, goat cheese and the fresh catch of the day, although everything was simply excellent. Great atmosphere and service was also amazing, the owner will look after you. First place we'll love to visit when we go back to Lisbon! Natalia & Peter

    Unbelievable tasting menu for 60 euro. The only dish I didn't like was the razor clams.

  • 5/5 Vsevolod R. 8 months ago on Google • 120 reviews
    The food was amazing and the portions are generous. The service was also great for such a small place. One thing to improve is wine selection, it was ok, but not great. Overall 4.5/5, not quite 4.8 we saw when choosing a place for a dinner.

    We had a mixed board, grilled sea bass, fisherman stew and octopus stew. All come in generous serving enough for 6 people. Octopus stew didn’t have enough octopus though and pretty similar dish to fisherman stew. Sea bass is very fresh and well cooked.

    Amazing little gem for dinner, looks like a family owned restaurant. Around 4-5 tables. Cash only. Delicious fresh seafood. Get the prawns and whatever fresh fish is recommended. We are INCREDIBLY well for 75 euros with wine. Could probably get away with a little bit less. Can’t recommend highly enough.

    WOW! Einfach ein perfekter Abend! Essen, Service & Ambiente einfach nur empfehlenswert!! Wichtig vorher einen Tisch reservieren, da nur ca. 6 Tische vorhanden sind. Wir hatten Glück und Antonio konnte uns noch unterbringen 👍👍👌🏼 Auch noch ne wichtige Info: Es geht nur Barzahlung oder Zahlung über Revolut!! Zur Begrüßung gab es einen kleinen Schnaps (Portwein), das Essen - wir hatten Octopus, Muscheln und frischen Fisch (Seabass + Seabreeze) - sehr sehr gut 👌🏼😋 Als süßen Abschluss hatte ich den Schokokuchen (Lavacake) ... 💘 leeecker 💓👌🏼 ..und Antonio spendierte uns noch einen leckeren Abschiedsschnaps - Vielen Dank, wir kommen wieder!!

    Hidden gem! The food is amazing and the host is lovely. Really enjoyed everything here and would 100% recommend going when in Lisbon! Don’t forget to make a reservation though because there are only 6 tables.

  • 5/5 Anastasia S. 2 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    The most delicious seafood we had. The softest octopus, delicious seafood rice and so well prepared fish of the day🤩

  • 4/5 Erica C. 7 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    The food is fresh and deliciously prepared. My family and I got the fresh fish of the day with the mixed salad (dressed in their specialty olive oil, salt and pepper), octopus, and clams. Everything was flavourful but not salty. Since it is a smaller establishment, I’d recommend to make a reservation online to ensure you get a table. The only thing I would say about the food would be the quantity of potatoes and vegetables provided with the octopus; we would have loved it if the portions were a little bigger of this entrée. Aside from that, our experience and the quality of the food were wonderful. We would definitely come back!

    Listen, I've lived in Lisbon now for almost a year and this is handsdown the most delicious meal I've had. We had the bread and oil for starters, delicious fresh bread with quality olive oil sprinkled with pink salt. Main was the steak and the fish of the day which was seabass. My friend and I shared both meals so got to experience it all. Just brilliant. Delicious. Flavoursome and generous portions. We had dessert too. A delicious chocolate cake that comes hot, like a fondant, and a local Portuguese dessert which is like a pastel de nata but in a roll. Make a reservation and go here, you won't be disappointed. But note, it's cash only but they take MBWAY so if you have a Portuguese bank account, that's an option.

    The Golden Star you are looking for🌟This cozy and local restaurant left me baffled by the quality of its food and service. My boyfriend invited me here for my birthday. I spent an unforgettable night, all thanks to the owner ♥️ Thank you so much for the surprise dessert at the end. I couldn’t have wished for a better experience.

    FANTASTISCH!! Was anderes kann man garnicht sagen. Das Essen war super, Antonio im Service sehr sympathisch und zuvorkommend und das Ambiente sehr gemütlich. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort essen gehen.

    We had a wonderful dinner at this cozy restaurant! We were served port wine once we are seated. We ordered oysters, octopus and cuttlefish pasta, pair with a bottle of Portuguese white wine, concluded beautifully with a chocolate cake and a dessert wine. The food taste good with big portion and the service is great.

    Overall a bit of a hidden gem but reading the reviews I think my expectations were to high compare to some other restaurants in Lisbon. The food was great, fish stew was excellent, starter so so and the octopus was good. Nice wine suggestion as well Atmosphere and service was really good with a nice little welcome drink and liquor given complimentary. Overall a great dinner Also bring cash as they don't take card.

    We had a great dinner here for our last night in Lisbon. The owner was very nice and provided great service. Food and wine were delicious. Just keep in mind it is cash only!

  • 5/5 Yevghenia P. 6 months ago on Google
    Had the most amazing dinner at Invicta Madragoa. Seafood was fresh and delicious, Antonio’s service was impeccable and the atmosphere of the place was absolutely amazing (gorgeous stone walls, very intimate with ambient lighting). It was my girlfriend’s birthday and Antonio prepared a lovely cake with candle. Was so sweet and thoughtful! Highly recommend this little gem! 🩵🩵🩵

    Beatriz was a very nice and talented server who spoke English, Spanish and Portuguese. The food was delicious, blood sausage, pork belly, mixed salad, white sangría, and for dessert chocolate lava cake!!! Delicioso 😋

    Very luckily for us, it was open on a Wednesday for an event that was cancelled so we were fortunate enough to be able to eat here. Hands down some of the best food we have ever eaten, incredible service and really reasonably priced. We had the fish of the day (sea bass) and mussels with the tomato salad and roast potatoes. We ate absolutely everything and would eat there every night if we could. The service was also attentive without being pushy and the whole experience was just amazing. So glad we got to eat here and would encourage everyone to go if they can!

    Lovely little restaurant serving traditional Portuguese dishes, the fish of the day and octopus were delicious. Reasonably priced with very nice service. Booking advisable.

  • 5/5 Andrei L. 1 year ago on Google
    A tiny restaurant which will make me remember Lisbon for years. Amazing seafood (octopus, stew, pasta). Very friendly service. We even visited this place twice during our stay.

  • 5/5 Damaris K. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great evening here - the food was wonderful, very fresh and very tasty. Even my fear of getting a whole fresh fish was taken away by the owner. The atmosphere there is very pleasant, and the owner also contributes to this; you feel at home from the first moment. Thank you for a wonderful evening, António!

  • 5/5 Sander K. 1 year ago on Google
    Cosy restaurant with very polite service. Fresh fish and a really tasty fish stew. Even with 15 people in such a small restaurant they could serve all the food at one time. Also nice Portugese shots from the house after the diner. They only accept cash 💵

  • 5/5 Sára K. 1 year ago on Google
    Our favourite restaurant in Lisbon. A family run business and the owner was super nice and helpful (gave us some tips for restaurants in Porto as he’s born there). We were here twice and both experiences were memorable. Fresh fishes everyday, lovely wine, great clams and mussels and tasty octopus. If I ever come back to Lisbon I will definitely visit this place again. Would recomment to anyone who’s seeking an authantic portuguese restaurant and not a tourist trap. Bring cash, they don’t accept cards 😞

    Invicta is a dining treasure. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between charm and quiet sophistication, the service is highly professional and yet also warm with small personal touches that make it memorable. And the menu is fantastic - small but with a nice variety. From steak to seafood/fish, I am always happy with the main course that I choose. And then there is the blood sausage - delicious is not a strong enough word, because it is not only the flavors but also the textures that I love about this appetizer. Please note, if you eat with me at Invicta, I will order the blood sausage every time. And I will not share. Order your own!
