Elevator Restaurant — Restaurant in Lisbon

Very good food and nice staff. The place is in the city center and the atmosphere is very nice.

They put the couvert on the table not asking if we wanted or not so we thought that it was on the house side.

We had a risotto and my wife had slow cooked cod; both dishes were really good.

We finished with a nice dessert and had 2 glasses of wine.

Seeing the check, I see the couvert was added to the finale price - I asked them to remove it since I never requested for it and it was never asked if we ever wanted it, they just put it on the table .

They took the couvert from the check after a little of arguing but at the end you could see that they were not welcoming anymore and didn't even say goodbye... Child behaviour.

Small tip : tourist do not know local traditions ( if indeed it's a tradition to just put not ordered dish on table without asking if we even want it ) so a little more transparency would be good not to feel scammed .

Totally recommend it but pay attention at this...

Food was impeccable. We shared the couvert, roasted vegetable salad, wild shrimp sautéed, and grilled vegetables. All items were incredible. We loved the vibrant colors of the vegetable dish and the crispness of the vegetables. The prawns were served in a broth that was rich with flavour. The roasted vegetable salad was so delicious and offered a variety of textures that were so satisfying (ie crunchy croutons, soft cheese and egg, crisp veggies). The converted offered a variety of bread choices along with the croquettes. We enjoyed dipping the bread in the prawn broth, as it was so flavourful and we were eager to soak up the flavour.

We were so eager to eat that we dove into our meal without capturing any photos. It was truly divine and so beautiful presented.

Another treat is that we were spoiled with fado music.

Overall this offered a perfect...

Our first time dining at Elevador and it was an excellent experience. Nice decor and ambience and prompt seating. The service throughout the evening was impeccable - Milena, Alanis, Igor and Marco were all wonderful.

Our party of 4 had 3 different starters and 4 diffferent mains from the a la carte menu. For starters we had the clams “bulhão pato”, the wild shrimp and the cod tempura. All were superb. For mains, we had the wild shrimp risotto, sea bass, veal chop and the lamb. All had excellent flavor and good portion for the cost. The only complaint I would make is the veal chop was a bit over cooked and the sea bass was a bit too buttery. This is what prevented 5 stars. If there was a 4.5 I would have selected that.

With wine, our bill was approximately €45-50/person for a wonderful meal. We will...
