Põe-te na Bicha — Restaurant in Lisbon

They now have a Cocktail Bar and we've tried some cocktails before dinner, and after dinner! 5 Stars for the cocktails and once again for the service! The barman explained each drink we asked and even told us some stories about them! Professional and passionate!! Lovely, lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere!! Candle light dinner, wonderful and delicious dishes! Typical portuguese food that you must try. We tried some tapas and i must confess, some of them the most marvelous we tried! We had also "Bacalhau á Lagareiro", delightful cod fish with potatos, garlic and portuguese olive oil, and Portuguese steak with french fries, the seasoning was perfect. The background music is lovely and makes you feel home, Fado always suits good for a romantic dinner! Service was superb!! Always attentive, super polite and courteous. Loved the outfit and the fashion waiter always smiling! Despite they had a group having dinner in the next room it was super calm and relaxing! 5 stars, will come...

Once I showed one that I managed to capture beneath a wine glass to a waiter, his reaction was so unimpressed that I worry for how seriously this establishment takes health regulations. This response falls into a pattern of extreme lack of interest in customers that are not part of the local community. Not once was I asked if everything was fine or if I wanted something else. Few times have I felt so unwelcome when eating out. It really is a pity because the food (vegan burgers and vegetable brás)...

Avoid at all costs. I just wanted to go to the restroom (after ordering a round of shots) and some guy began screaming at me, and pushed me when I got to the front of the line. Not expecting to be pushed, I pushed him right back. He also didn’t have on any security clothes or anything, so he seemed like a random person at the bar starting trouble. Then he called for the police, who pepper sprayed my friends. He also pointed at me when the police came… I didn’t do anything but want to go to the bathroom.

I’d say this is a place to avoid at all costs. Go literally...
