Restaurant Meal takeaway European restaurant

👍👍 We loved this place and would have come back again had the owner not been headed off on vacation the next day. The seafood stew I had was absolutely delicious. My wife had the mussels and was very happy with them. The bread was 'second bake' of the day and hence very fresh. All-in-all our best eatin... People often mention wine, Lisbon, owner,

    This place has charm, a wonderful host and amazing food. You must try this cozy restaurant while you visit Portugal. I don’t know when I have felt better about a place and a meal. They truly treat you like family here. I was presented and told about the perfect white wine produced in Portugal. This wine is so tasty and complimented my meal perfectly. Christina the owner was kind enough to share her favorite wine with me along with terrific conversation. She is a gem and a very talented host. I had the salmon and it was the best I have had yet. I recommend her special tuna pate with the bread and olives to snack then wine then absolutely anything on the menu. You can’t lose. Also, the chocolate cake is delightful! Hugs to her entire staff and thank you for a wonderful night.

    My husband took me here for my birthday - had the best birthday dinner ever thanks to this wonderful restaurant and it's owner/chef! Christina treated us like family, explaining the menu, recommending items, bringing food and drinks until we couldn't eat another bite. We had a blissful 3 hours talking and chatting the night away, eating fantastic food, drinking delicious wine/port, and feeling welcomed by the entire staff. This place is an absolute gem and we will be back soon!

    Restaurant not to be missed if you travel to Lisbon and if you want to eat local food. The owners are very welcoming and took care of our orders. Great food and the price is very affordable. The owners even speak English and French. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Nice atmosphere too.

    The best Portuguese meal we’ve ever had during our trip to Lisboa. Owner came in from her other restaurants to introduce herself, her recipes and answer any questions we have on the menu. The owner and her lovely staff all went over above & beyond for us! Great atmosphere and amazing food! We will definitely come back here again. Thank you!

    Madragoa Café was one of my favorite places in Lisbon. Our group of 5 people had a fantastic time. Cristina, the owner, attended to our table personally; when we let her know that one person in our group was gluten free, she even had rice cakes that she served with the bread! The selection of food was amazing! I asked Cristina if she would choose a meal for me and she happily did so. I ended up having fish and seafood in a broth with potatoes and it was absolutely amazing. We also finished the night there with dessert and a few drinks. No one in our party had anything bad to say about the experience - there were rave reviews all around! If I get the chance to return to Lisbon, I will absolutely visit Madragoa Café again! Obrigada, Cristina!

    Lovely little restaurant with fair prices. Don't confuse it with Invicta Madragoa next door. The mixed seafood Cataplana and the grilled Octopus are excellent.

    Lovely little place with great Portugese dishes, the owners treat you like family and take great care of giving you a special evening. On some evenings they have Fado.

    One of the best meals and experiences we had in Lisbon for traditional Portuguese cuisine. The hostess/owner was super warm and friendly and treated us like family. Everything we ordered was very tasty especially the squid ink pasta and grilled shrimps.

    We have been there last Friday with two friends. Our group was treated like good old friends and we were pleased with the atmosphere and the special attention Christina devoted to us. The best meal in Lisbon : Great steak with a amazing creme fresh sauce, great fish stew and a top wine. If we ever come back to Lisbon, we wont miss this place. Highly recommend!
