Margarita Alvalade — Restaurant in Lisbon

Didn't let us use the toilets or buy a drink after a long hot day. Edit: i wasn't looking down at the work of anyone, I was just staying a fact. I appreciate the tables were reserved, however, that was not what we were told. We only wanted a fresh drink nothing else, not to sit down or anything.

The pizza dough is actually one of the best I've had in Lisbon and definitely worth the price with the discount on The Fork. The staff was apologetic about the mistake and made up for it, so i would definitely return, but the service has space for improvement. If these errors happen with an empty restaurant, i can't imagine...
