Poço Cozinha Portuguesa & Brunch — Restaurant in Lisbon

N’allez vraiment, vraiment pas dans ce restaurant aux faux avis et à la réputation totalement inventée. Une note proche de 5 sur Google ? C’est tout simplement frauduleux. Sur Uber Eats, la note réelle est plus honnête : auteur de 3, et c’est déjà trop généreux.

Premier gros signal d’alarme : les photos des plats dans les avis n’ont rien à voir avec ce qui est réellement servi. C'est alors qu'il est de taille moyenne, à peine présent, et visuellement dégoûtant. Rien ne donnait viver, tout semblait sorti d’une mauvaise cantine de bas étage.

Je suis portugal, je sais de quoi je parle. Ce restaurant ne propose rien d’authentique. La cuisine est une pauvre caricature de la gastronomie portugaise. Même les plats les plus simples sont ratés. Goûts douteux, cuisson approximative, ingrédients de mauvaise qualité… J’ai même eu peur de tomber malade, c’est dire. Je n'ai rien mangé. Absolument rien. Mon stomac m'a dit non dès la première bouchée.

Et le comble du comble : personne dans le restaurant parle portugal. Dans un restaurant qui se fait passer pour des portugais, c'est une blague monumentale. Aucune culture, aucun respect de la cuisine, aucun effort. Sur le sentiment qu'il est émergent, superficiel et purement commercial.

Le service est à l'image de la cuisine : méprisant, prêté, et non professionnel. Aucun effort pour satisfaire le client, accumulez des gains en termes de remarques. On vous ignore royalement.

En fin de compte, les prix sont totalement abusés pour une qualité unique. On se fait littéralement arnaquer, et avec le sourire en prime.

Franchement, je me demande comment ce lieu peut encore exister. C'est une insulte à la cuisine portugaise, une expérience catastrophique et un endroit à éviter absolument.

really don't go to this restaurant with its fake reviews and completely fabricated reputation. A rating close to 5 on Google? That's simply fraudulent. On Uber Eats, the actual rating is more honest: a 3, and that's already too generous.

First big red flag: the photos of the dishes in the reviews bear no relation to what's actually served. It's then that it's average in size, barely there, and visually disgusting. Nothing was lively; everything looked like it came from a bad, low-end canteen.

I'm Portuguese, I know what I'm talking about. This restaurant offers nothing authentic. The food is a poor caricature of Portuguese gastronomy. Even the simplest dishes are ruined. Questionable flavors, approximate cooking, poor-quality ingredients... I was even afraid of getting sick, that's saying something. I ate nothing. Absolutely nothing. My stomach said no from the first bite.

And to top it all off, no one in the restaurant speaks Portuguese. In a restaurant that pretends to be Portuguese, it's a monumental joke. No culture, no respect for the cuisine, no effort. It creates the feeling that it's emerging, superficial, and purely commercial.

The service reflects the cuisine: contemptuous, sloppy, and unprofessional. No effort to satisfy the customer; you accumulate rewards in terms of comments. You're royally ignored.

Ultimately, the prices are completely outrageous for such unique quality. You're literally being ripped off, and with a smile to boot.

Frankly, I wonder how this place can still exist. It's an insult to Portuguese cuisine, a disastrous experience, and a place to...

Ok guys, I have only 200 reviews mainly on restaurants on Google Maps including Michelin star rated ones but 700.000 clicks on my pics, which in theory would mean I understand at least basically what good food is about. so here it comes : Poco serves traditional Portuguese food at a very good quality for a very decent price. We, my wife and myself, had Bacalau a Bras and Sardines for a moderate price at a very good quality; so if this would be otherwise I would understand the- let’s put it - not so optimal attendance by other guests but I am completely irritated why good quality food does not coincide with an equal high attendance by other customers; so do yourself a favor: please give this restaurant a try you won’t regret it and if you do text me I will personally compensate...

Cozy restaurant with lovely staff and a relaxing atmosphere. It may seem a little basic to start with bread and butter, but this house-made butter with fresh garlic and herbs is unreal!

The pastéis de bacalhau, lightly battered and fried, are delicious crispy morsels of creamy cod.

My friend and I both chose the bacalbau á brás from the specials menu — a must-have. It’s served with salad on the side and it is so delicious!

The brunch offerings look delicious, but I recommend Poço for dinner if you’re in the area. It’s kind of off the beaten path but worth a visit! I also really appreciated that the music was played at a reasonable volume. Clean restrooms. Thank you for the...
