LaPausa — Restaurant in Lisbon

Look at the other reviews before considering eating here! They are true especially with the quality of the food

I am sorry to say but the quality of the food here is in a bad state. I have eaten here thrice and the quality especially the meats were in a condition that you will ask ‘how can the airport authorities not ask this restaurant to improve’

The meats- chicken and beef were very dry and poorly cooked. There was two slices of fried salmon that were both too salty

Look at the tuna on the vegetables section and it is so dry

Worst is the assistant male staff/cashier on the gate before you enter who has absolutely zero skills in facing customers. I was shocked by his attitude when I asked for assistance with the meat. Luckily the manager who was more matured in age came to help as this assistant was unable to properly solve...

This restaurant doesn't fit well in an airport. This was the best beef I've had in Portugal! A small gem on the 4th floor by the spa.

If you have a couple hours to kill, get a massage then come order the traditional Portuguese Beef meal with bacon and potato fries.

My mouth was bewildered once I took a bite. This meal is worth twice as much as I paid. The beef was perfectly soft, the bacon was like nothing I've ever had and the potatoes were crispy and thin like my grandmother makes

Can't say enough good stuff...

The restaurant is a straightforward cantina without pretense. For a fixed price (€13,95) you get a simple but complete wholesome menu (entree, main, desert and a drink). No nonsense and does not pretend to be anything but what is it. Semi self service (walk by a buffet and they fill your plate with what you wish). Choice from meat, fish or vegetarian menu. Well worth it if you need a straightforward and affordable meal...
