Pabe — Restaurant in Lisbon

Fantastic fine dining experience in Lisbon. Our dinner there was the best meal of our trip to parts of Portugal and Spain. The food was spectacular, service impeccable, and atmosphere quiet with appropriate decor typical for a fine dining establishment. For those looking for a more dining experience with a more lively atmosphere, you may be taken in by the food and service, but it is a gamble, and I may recommend you look elsewhere. But if food and service are the priorities, and you want the ability to have a conversation without having to raise your voice over background noise then you don't have to look further. The food was immaculately presented, perfectly prepared - flavorful, done just the right amount, with appropriately size servings. Everything - appetizers, entrees, and desserts, were a delight. It is clear that the chef and staff take pride in what they do, and ensure sure you have a memorable dining experience. My regret: I didn't get to try the...

Very disappointed

We were 3 to dinner. Upon arrival, we were served water and with bread, butter and a pate of liver without anyone asking for anything. The waiter stays in front of us waiting for the order, it was very rude on his part, but behavior can be normal in this restaurant, comle if he pressed us. We order lasagne and he says there are more. He could have told us instead of staying there watching us decide.

The food was good as in a good Portuguese bistro but no more especially as the wait was very long (30 mins). We ask for the addition and after 15 minutes, the addition still does not come so I get up to pay directly in cash and I realize that the addition was not even prepared.

Be careful as soon as you touch bread or butter or paste, they charge you 3 euros, the same for water (4euros) when nothing was asked for.

Very disappointed ... with a very old...

I just left Pabe after having a fantastic dining experience. Being in town for business, I often dine alone. The servers at the restaurant engaged in conversation, but also knew when to give me space to eat etc. The restaurant reminds me of a mix between an old pub or 80’s steakhouse and I love it. The style of service was very traditional, but friendly. Loved the food options, I tried the Scotch truffle egg made with their smoked pork and their slow roasted lamb and even managed to spare some room for a dessert. Everything was fantastic. The sommelier gave me a wonderful recommendation for a glass of wine, and I left with a huge smile. Definitely recommend if you like old school good food...
