I think this is the best restaurant in the area, by a wide margin. I was in town for work for about 2 weeks near Aventura mall area. Esch night I would try a new highly rated restaurant and Old Lisbon was by far the best I had in the area, so much so I came back a couple times.

The shrimp appetizer was incredible. You can get it in a garlic sauce or a homemade spicy sauce. Both are incredible, but if you like some kick or a bit of spice I HIGHLY recommend the spicy sauce.

Not a good combination and I had to ask for lemon slices which are usually coming with grilled fish. The main course, breaded cod was disappointing - I expected « breaded » fillet not some chunk of code in a dark, brown crust.Real ugly looking. Not appealing to the eyes and not especially tasty.

The custard cups desert was over powered by cinnamon, definitely not freshly prepared and not appealing to the eyes. Just there… without any pretense. Leo, as our server, was attentive and engaging . He even brought us some delicious port on the house and all-in-all we had...
