Co Lan Restaurant — Restaurant in Lisbon

Sorry but I cannot comprehend the 5 star ratings. Probably none of them has ever been to Vietnam or eaten in a good Viet resto? The pho broth was bland and didn't contain star anis or any of the spices that should be in there, not even sure this was a proper bone broth as it didn't taste like it at all. There were no sprouts, not a single herb (usually there's even a bowl with extra herbs, but there was absolutely nothing (!). The "Pho" contained just of flanky beef pieces, half of them not eatable plus overcooked ricenoodles and some onion slices, that was all. Sorry but this is a no go. Also the other soup was nothing like shown in the menu: the vegetable (curry?) soup for 6.90 (!) was a small portion first of all and tasted well...like a cube broth with a dash of milk, 4 pieces of sliced carrot, 2 green beans and 4 pieces of tofu. If you add up the cost of that soup, it's 50 cents, at best. The Banh Mi was ok-ish but also no herbs. Very very...

We’re Vietnamese on travels and been dying for a good quality bowl of pho!! Found it! Co Lan makes a real, real good Pho Bo (Beef Noodle Soup). So good we came back the second time. A ten! Vietnamese coffee is strong and good. Came back for that too. Fried Spring rolls crunchy and delicious. A 9 there. The goi cuon (fresh spring rolls) is very interesting with the unusual addition of the sesame seeds. However, the taste isn’t there for us. Sorry but a 4 there. We’ve eaten goi cuon only 1000 times so we might be a little picky here. We didn’t try other dishes so can’t say about other dishes. Bottom line, if you’re looking for a delicious traditional pho bo and Viet Cafe Sua Đa, come to this place. Enjoy! Family owned restaurant. Very nice and friendly. Small and tight space but serves...

This is our lunch «cantine», nothing fancy in the place but with delicious simple and tasty family food.... and family owned visibly ! Our last passage our daughter had her birthday the same day and they found it out (as my husband combined with the waiter to deliver a present to her for a surprise). A little girl came and did the job with the cutest smile. At the end of our meal once our bill was paid, someone from the kitchen came out with a famous delivery brand bag for us : it was 3 parts of birthday cakes that they had delivered by a company as they don tt have cakes and desserts on the menu!! Crazy sweet! Our daughter has been really touched by the attention strangers has shown to her. True kindness is so rare nowadays in others manicured...
