    What a special place! I immediately fell in love with the interior. All the history that got preserved there. It’s very unique and you should really explore it. The food is good but not outstanding. Their special is a wood fire oven. Prices are quite high for what they serve. Service is not really attentive and also not as cordial as you would expect in Portugal. That's why I only rated it 4 stars. But overall definitely a place to try.

    The place is super cute, great atmosphere to have some food. Their many selection was pretty different and fresh but the service was a bit sloppy. Over all we recomand 🌿

    Wonderful set up. Had a nice Portuguese-stewed buffet with lots of meat and veggies: good quality and exceptional value. Shootout to Laura, she took care of me providing an attentive service, always with a smile on her face. Recommended!

    Cantina LX This place deserves a lot more than the 3.9 stars it currently has. 20:43 the cantina is 1/3 full. Smells good, lots of things going on. Love the decor and the center of the restaurant a big brick oven. People look like they are enjoying their food. This is my first day in Portugal so I am not sure if service is just slower here, is waiting for someone to take my order for 10 minutes a long time? The menu has vegan and veggie options, the staff is friendly. I ordered Mushroom and Goat cheese appetizer and it was very satisfying, good sized portion of mushrooms with goat cheese and olive oil. And a Beetroot Risotto. Wow this is food, hearty satisfying with subtle and well combined flavors. Better than home made, food has that extra burnt in the brick oven flavor. I will be back. If you are a veggie and would like to try Beetroot Risotto this is a good place to try it 🤓

    Delicious food and adorable atmosphere! Def deserves a higher rating than on here. We got the goat cheese mushrooms, cod and best risotto and it was all so lovely! Wonderful house wine and the vibes are ~top notch in here. Go if you are at the LX factory!

    (Translated by Google) In the Lx factory, a special place, with a special decoration. I like the atmosphere, albeit a little touristy. Not bad dishes, a way for big eaters to eat the buffet. Take the high places if possible, this allows you to admire the show inside and outside. Lots of restaurants in the Lx, this one looked less trendy / scam. (Original) Dans la Lx factory, un endroit spécial, avec une décoration spéciale. J'aime bien l'atmosphère, quoiqu'un peu touristifiée. Plats pas mauvais, moyen pour les gros mangeurs de prendre le buffet. Prendre les places en hauteur si possible, cela permet d'admirer le spectacle dedans et dehors. Pleins de restos dans la Lx, celui là avait l'air moins branchouille /arnaque.

    I was concerned about going after seeing reviews. However, I gave it a shot because I was shopping in the area. I had great and fast service (lovely staff, really), and the food was flavorful. I thought the price was fair, especially considering what I am used to paying in the U.S. and elsewhere in Europe. I ordered the tuna steak, some bread, and a Jameson. A good experience overall! FYI - they do have an English language menu available.

    I had a terrible experience. When I arrived they promptly gave me a table and the menu, but I had to wait over 30 minutes to have a waiter at my table taking my order. I ordered a bottle of water, a starter and a main meal and I asked for the main meal to come after the starter. I waited 30 minutes only to have the water and over 1 hour for the food, that obviously came all together. Moreover, they brought me the wrong starter, but I didn't ask to get the right one, since a was so full of waiting. I wanted to get around LX Factory, but I spent so much time in this restaurant that everything was closing by the time I was out. It's a shame because the food was very good and the waiters friendly. Still, that did not make up for the overall awful experience.

    Sehr leckere Fischgerichte. Der Ober war etwas verpeilt und hat ca. dreißig mal nachgefragt, wer was bestellt hat - und meinen Lachs dann doch vergessen. Aber das spielt alles keine Rolle, weil es einfach ein schönes Ambiente ist und das Essen dann auch lecker war - genau wie das 🍺!

    If you want to taste original Portuguese food, don't forget to eat at Cantina LX restaurant.

  • 1/5 Stuart G. 2 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Average food. Took every opportunity to fleece you for extras. No tap water. E2.50 for some oil where everywhere has oil and vinegar on the table. Fundamentally different from everywhere else in LX. Much better food, service and prices available very close by.

    It's a beautiful place to have a drink, and the shrimps are nice

  • 3/5 Phillip 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely, quirky little eatery with a great choice of food on the menu. We booked and arrived on time, the drinks were nice but the service was quite slow and scattered. It looked like multiple servers were serving each table, instead of having allocated table each. This really did seem to cause most of the issues. At the end of our meal we asked for the bill and it never came. Myself and the table next to us ended up going to the counter ourselves to pay. The food was average and if anything was a little underseasoned.

  • 5/5 Fred B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the first original places. This restaurant has always been the soul of the lx factory. The decor is simply AMAZING.

  • 5/5 Spencer H. 1 year ago on Google
    While I never ate here, I thankfully had a lovely drink here, me and my better half! Service was good and it was nice to just sit and people watch in the sun! Two cocktails came to about £13! Will visit again if in the vicinity again!

  • 5/5 John P. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was beatifully prepared and presented..extremely tasty and well priced. Staff were under pressure but remained professional and freindly, delivering the food to our table promptly. The interior space is quirky, interesting design and really works. A simply wonderful late lunch experience. 👌

    (Translated by Google) Not very famous as a restaurant. My friend was a bit disappointed with his dish, not very good. But the better it goes, it was good. It was fish and rice with coriander.

    Absolutely a trap. Small portions and high bill. I'll never be back

  • 1/5 Amine Ben M. 4 years ago on Google
    Bad I tried the vegan Portuguese steak disgusting, reheat patato... Expensive, 13€ the dish, 3€ bread, 2€ water. no taste, no salt, even for the sauce. I just eat the spinach and the owner of the restaurant saw I didn’t eat nothing and he let me pay! Such a shame !

  • 1/5 Michaela D. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a terrible experience here sadly. We waited over an hour for our food before I was then told they had run out of what I had ordered and could I choose something else. The “fresh” juices and olives were terrible and tasteless, and the meat and fish had no seasoning, sauce or thought behind it. After everything, we were then charged for the more expensive main that I had to order because they’d run out of that I wanted. It is a pretty venue but it is too short staffed, with poor customer service and bad food. I would spend your money elsewhere.

  • 5/5 Luis S. 1 year ago on Google
    It was my forth time in Cantina, the first time was there I loved the food and the space but they were clearly short on the stuff, plus I asked who was the manager because it was taking more than 1 hour to recieve the food and the manager was just standing there looking at nothing, so this was around March. I came back a few times but today i came and I loved the staff has way more People than before and also got to speak with Antonio, super friendly guy and the staff is waaaay better now! Had a blast loved the food, the space and the staff is very good now. Looking forward to come back. :) Greetings from Ireland.

  • 3/5 Matt 1 year ago on Google
    When I went, it was extremely understaffed. There were only a couple of waiters taking care of a couple dozen tables. You can imagine it took them a long time to show up and people were not very happy with waiting times. Other than that, the place is nice but VERY hot inside. They desperately need more fans.

  • 3/5 Lawrence S. 1 year ago on Google

    Great restaurant with food options and tastes for everyone. Friendly servers and a fun person behind a cool cantina. Also, located in a charming and quaint part of town.

  • 5/5 Klara E. 1 year ago on Google
    The best dish of my entire life! If you are ever in Lisbon, stop by the Lx Factory, enter the Lx CANTINA and order the rabbit for appetisers, the duck with sweet mashed potatoes and be sorry you won’t be eating that for the rest of your days. A-mazing! I had to hug the chef for how tasty this dinner was. 12/10 🫶

  • 1/5 Erik van der V. 6 months ago on Google
    It took 10 minutes to he served even though staff wasnt really busy. The authentic sausage was served burned. When I highlited it afterwards I was told it was supposed to be like this. I did see other people getting the same dish a lot better. In stead of just saying sorry they started a whole discussion.

  • 1/5 Mar C. 9 months ago on Google
    We ate a group in round table in your restaurant. And we got charged an extra beer and an extra burger (5.5 and 14). Basically, the last payment on that table had these two extra items that we did no consumed. Three of us left before in the restaurant and paid our bills, and our colleagues did not know what we had paid, but also your waiter did not show was has been paid before. The three beer big beers we consumed were paid and only burger we consumed in table we also paid. To be honest in October 2022, I came same restaurant with a group people from a conference and happen something similar, i am wondering if is a usual practice of this restaurant to add extra items in big groups. We would like to get reimburse 19.5 euros the extra money that we paid. We send email day after to email never we got answer and also phone we impossible to reach them.

  • 2/5 Mégane V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The setting is nice in an atypical place. The problem is rather without the plate, the salad is not very provided, you should not be very hungry and suddenly the price is quickly high for what is offered. The bar was closed at 2 pm .. still or sparkling water and pressure. (Original) Le cadre est sympa dans un lieu atypique. Le problème est plutôt sans l'assiette, la salade n'est pas très fourni, il ne faut pas avoir une grande faim et du coup le prix est vite élevé pour ce qui est proposé. Le bar était fermé à 14h.. eau plate ou pétillante et pressions.

  • 5/5 Eduardo V. 4 years ago on Google
    Very interesting place to have a traditional Portuguese lunch at a fair price in Lisbon. The place is locate at LX Factory, an old factory area that has been turned into a creative hub. Here you will find nice restaurants and caffes, nice shops and there are a lot of start ups based in the upper floors of the buildings. It has a groovy vibe.

    We went to experience lx factory and we needed some moments to relax after hours of walking—so kantina was the best solution ! Unbelievable mix of insdustrial and Middle Age scenery and very kind and helpful staff! We had a great vegan hot soup (as it was slightly raining outside) ,the taste was awesome and the prices very low! You must visit if you want to feel local!

    Great food in a funky atmosphere! The mushrooms were very tasty as well as the cod pillows and the Iberico cheeks. The desert we had was very different from anything we've tried before but was very good with just the right amount of sweet. It was cheese, of all things, with honey, jam, nuts, and sprinkled with cinnamon.
