Cais de Belém — Restaurant in Lisbon

Another restaurant built for the tourists claiming to be a Portuguese restaurant but more like an Ali Express version of it. The prices are over the top and it has nothing portuguese of it. My mom and I ordered the dourada and it came with vegetables. The vegetables were raw and when we informed the waiter he just laughed. How can you claim to have a portuguese restaurant when you can't even speak to the locals? The waiter informed us we could pay inside and when we went there to pay he told us to go outside to pay. Outside, we told him we want to pay cash to which he said "then it has to be inside" to which I replied that that's why we went inside. He asked us to pay with a card because he didn't want to be troubled to go inside again. Worst service possible even for a touristic restaurant. The sad reality is that all the restaurants are being tailored to the tourists with waiters that don't even speak portuguese and don't care about providing a good service except for filling...

If I would be able to put a zero I would! The staff must be all new or completely incompetent. I asked for a a red sangria in English. After the third try and going through a couple different waiters I got served a white wine. I do not believe it was a language barrier as I pointed to the exact drink on the menu in there language and still got serve the wrong drink. I ended up finally getting my drink after asking the lead waiter. All on top of this our food was served at very random intervals and was not nice at all. Me and my family didn’t end up finishing our meals and just decided to leave after paying an overpriced bill. Would...
