Buffet Leão — Restaurant in Lisbon

Right in the city center. There are not many options like other buffets. The choices are limited. The restaurant itself is clean and well organised, however the chairs are not really comfortable. There are 3 types of buffet, which 2 of them are similar to each other and you barely see the difference! But in price, there is a difference of 4 euros! So go for the first buffet choice when you go there. Most of the dishes taste good, though. As we had the second buffet offer, normally porc was also included, but the chef refused to serve us, God knows for which reason?! The drink price is higher than other restaurants too. The service is not really top. We entered this place because we were told there is fish too! But it was a fish pure or something, and not the fish itself. We were not really happy with our choice after all. But I hope this review helps you better before you make your decision, and I hope the manager manages to solve the problems I mentioned. Thank you,...

A definite tourist trap, the fancy upscale interior is just laughable once you realise the food didn't match up.

The food was disgusting, cold and bland, barely any seasoning on the couscous and the codfish was atleast salty. There is only one seafood option so we were restricted in terms of what we could eat. The pasta was very plain, and the rest of the food is either salad with tuna randomly sprinkled on top, or cold vegetables. The fries were the best thing! Also NEVER try the fish soup, it was DISGUSTING. It tasted like bad fish and it was watery and starchy, the worst part was there were big bits of fish skin and slimy fatty pieces which put me off all of their food. And the bread was not crusty but rock hard. Overall the food tasted like school dinners so I wouldn't pay €5 to eat there. A €3 pitta doner kebab was 100x more filling and delicious than the scrappy food at this buffet. THE WORST RESTAURANT I HAVE...

Overall not bad at all! The prices were very fair considering the location in the city centre and when I visited, Sunday evening, there was no queues and we were seated immediately. Of course with such a cheap price there was an expectancy of limited options however I feel as though the options were good for the price paid. I opted for the option that included beef and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. Meat was freshly carved for you and sides were readily available, fully stocked when I when. As for the service, the staff were welcoming and friendly so no concerns for me in this regard. For a cheap eat, I would definitely recommend this place but if looking for a more elevated dining experience, it’s really worth reading into options available and what type of dining experience you’d...
