Zé da Mouraria 2 — Restaurant in Lisbon

Excellent food. We had a tasting menu. First, they brought cheese, bread, and olives. Then, we enjoyed starters: mushrooms in red wine and mixed salad. After that we had an excellent squid. Then, we tasted cod with vegetables. The fish was a bit too salty, still it was an excellent dish. We have ordered a steak in coffee sauce. Such an excellent tapas! We planned to finish our meal, but suddenly, they brought six grilled pieces of meat and French fries. We had to beg waiters stop bringing food. At this point, we had seriously considered to skip the dessert. But the gentleman who was serving us has encouraged to try either a chocolate mousse, a cake or fruits. We have asked for abacaxi. We have received a nice chocolate cake with forest fruits and chantilly crème. When we started eating this, a pineapple had arrived! That was the abacaxi. So we had to beg not to bring us any more dessert. Excellent menu, overall. I...

A busy place with generous portions of Tuna, Cod, Steaks, etc. that'll easily feed two people or more. Each platter will cost around 20 euros. The list doesn't have a huge choice, but has enough dishes and entrees to please different appetites. Things look fresh - the restaurant has a lot of movement so this is expected - and there's also a good choice of wines to go along with the meal. The place doesn't accept Card payments which is a bit of a no-no for a restaurant that mainly hosts groups - many of tourists - where Bills will be expected to reach a few hundred euros. I have to say that I personally find Card Payment to be - more than a convenience - a payment solution that keeps businesses (more) accountable tax wise, so this upsets me more than the average Patron. All in all is a place worth visiting, just make sure you reserve ahead or you'll find yourself waiting outside for...

Yeah, been coming off and on for a while, but recent visit was not great. Food still good, athough rice very watery...Service sadly lacking. Outside can have 25 diners, but at times 15 minutes go by with no waiter in site..just busboys..next, they forgot one of our dishes..the table next to ours had same issue..when your done, you can expect your dirty plates to stay on the table in front of you till you leave..guess they didnt learn to remove plates after the customer finishes..finally, staff changed after an hour and our waiter was replaced by another who served for like 8 minutes..then when the bill came, a new sad reality in Lisbon, he said on multiple occasions to leave something for him in cash on the table..Uggh, begging for tips for bad service..please stop..its not a great way for getting customers .maybe Ill get takeaway some...
