Tacho do Pescador — Restaurant in Lisbon

Extremely not responsible stuff! We tried to have there dinner two days in a row and didn't 🤦‍♀️ On the first day a waitress said that we have to show our covid certificates to get the table (apparently, we needed certificates only if we want to eat inside the restaurant, while there are a lot of tables outside,but explaining everything clearly was probably too hard🤷‍♀️), so we had to go home and get them - no one even looked at them by the way, not even talking about scanning qr-code. The dish we wanted to order they didn't have already - well, happens, even though we tried to call first and ask about that, but no one picked up. Next day we decided to book that exactly same dish before (unfortunately, only this ridiculous place was supposed to have it in menu and is really close to home) and made a reservation for dinner. Half an hour before our reservation we get a call with information that they don't have this dish again!! This time someone just didn't know that they don't have it (already after few hours of work they run out of exactly same dish or ingredients or whatever🤷‍♀️ but anyway) and instead of checking first and after making our reservation, or at least confirming this information and tell us earlier they decided to call right before the dinner. Just ruined plans. Very rude and irresponsible behavior, we would write a complaint, but didn't want to waste even more time for this restaurant. The food we tried once last year was fine (fortunately, it was morning and they still had some dishes to serve👌) so if you get really lucky maybe they will care a bit more about clients and you will also try...

The bread, butter, and cheese were delicious, but that’s where the enjoyable experience ended and the only reason I gave even one star. A warning to anyone eating here: the bread, butter, cheese, and olives are not free, and the staff were rude, unapproachable, and took advantage that we were a group of young students.

When my group sat down, the server dropped all of this food without us asking and we assumed it was free. We eventually figured out that we would be charged for anything we ate, so we left the rest unopened. Soon, half of my group left due to the complete lack of vegetarian options and afterwards, the staff never came back over to the table. They made a point to avoid our table even as we tried to order our dinner. We waited for 30 minutes, tried to get their attention, but no one ever came. Eventually we were able to get someone and just asked for the check.

The bill was €40 and we only ordered a few drinks. They charged us for all the food they set on the table, even the food we didn’t touch or uncover. We asked them to take the food we didn’t eat off the bill and they were very rude and not understanding. When asked why half our group left and we told them because of the lack of vegetarian options, they said that “they have beans.”

Overall, I’m very disappointed wit the way they handled the situation, and the complete lack of transparency from the restaurant by trying to trick us into paying for things we did not order, and for allowing their customers to sit there unattended for...
