Jardim Nativo — Restaurant in Oeiras

I really did not feel very welcome at this place. Very loud music outside, so for those trying to get work done, it's not easy. Even having a conversation outside with a friend should be hard due to the loud music. Staff were busy unpacking things at 10h45 and kind of "welcome" you with a very "unwelcome" face, almost to say, "what are you doing here, we are still not open". I then sat down, nobody approached me to see what I wanted to order. One staff member just started cleaning tables, now that is fantastic, dont get me wrong here, but how about your customers sitting and waiting? How beneficial is this to this coffee shop owner if clients are not being served!? So a patiently waited for 20 minutes till she got to clean my table. She did not even say "excuse me let me clean your table" or smiled and said "good morning" just nothing and started to clean my table. I then placed my order, a coffee and milk tart. She just responded with, we dont have milk tart. How about some cross-selling, well we do have this and that, how does that sound to you? Nothing....so I just ordered a coffee and it arrived at a whopping 12 minutes! Never coming...

I had the seared Ahi tuna with asparagus, lemon slices, wedged in between each slice of a large tuna steak seared perfectly, and prepared like tuna should be, pink in the middle!

Delicious wines and beer and I wish I would’ve taken photos of the food, but we are deciding to leave the review now so you only have...

The place is beautiful! It is a great place to spend time in open air and enjoy the park 💚 We ordered avocado toast which was very delicious. I suggest you also try their own juices, healthy and a good choice. We tried the one with mango. I will try their pancakes next time. They look also very delicious! Just go, read your book and enjoy the meal. 👍 Special thanks to Eduardo! His communication was perfect and he was...
