Came here on our last night in Lisbon and so glad we did. Having read earlier reviews on trip advisor we felt we had to try the goats cheese and honey and have to agree that it was a taste sensation. The sausage selection & beef were also fantastic - and the lemon tart amazing. Great value for money. Very... More

You must try this restaurant if you are in Lisbon! The place is tiny (seats about 20) and out-of-the-way, but well worth a reservation to ensure you get in. The husband & wife team that run this restaurant are amazing! I was with a party of 8, so we tried almost everything on the menu and it was all delicious.... More

Enjoyed a very nice meal at Cantinho Lusitano last night on the recommendation of TripAdviser. The staff were very friendly and helpful, explaining the menu options and the numbers of dishes that would be sufficient. The food came promptly, it was very nicely presented and it tasted delicious. We went at 9.30pm and the restaurant was busy, so I would... More

Our last dinner in Lisbon and it was worth the hunt in the windy little streets off the beaten path. Our waitress, the wife of the owner couple, was helpful and did a great job of handling all the servicing of the 20 or so patrons the restaurant held. Several people were turned away while we ate as they didn't... More

This wonderful small restaurant is off the tourist path but well worth the effort. It is a tiny place therefore necessary to book in advance. The Portuguese tapas is amazing, we had 5 dishes to shate which was more than adequate, and very filling. Such a selection of local tastes and flavours. Wine was great too, and good value. We...

This was our first dinner in Lisbon and it set the bar real high! It is very cute place offering a variety of tapas. The most outstanding dish was the goat cheese and honey! Also, the wine was delicious and cheap. We went back the next night because we knew that this place was a gem. Side notes: Place is... More

If I lived close to Cantinho Lusitano I would be a regular diner-- at least once a week! This is a little restaurant, off the tourist path. My daughter and I enjoyed about 5 different tapas and each one was outstanding -- hard to pick a favorite. The flavors of each tapa was excellent. It is said that cooking is... More

I made a reservation via email for a dinner on my birthday. Quickly got the confirmation after 1 hour. The experience was perfect. The food, the ambience and the people, everything was so nice. I definitely recommend the goat chesse with rosemarry and honey. The stuffed mushroom was very good too. Thank the chef and the waitress for a memorable... More

Having missed out on Friday evening because the restaurant was fully booked, we booked ahead for Saturday evening and were glad that we did. It is a lovely cosy restaurant, seating about 16. The menu and tapas sharing concept was explained to us by the very friendly and helpful waitress, and the advice was to choose 5 dishes for the... More
