This restaurant carries a well-deserved recommendation in the Michelin Red Guide. Let me begin by correcting some misconceptions created by other reviewers. It is NOT in a Pousada. It is in a prime location in Castelo Sao Jorge giving stunning views North over the city to the opposite bank of the Tagus. It does belong to the Pousada organization but... More

Casa do Leão Restaurant has most probably the best views of Lisbon. The location on S. Jorge Castle is prime and it is facing the historic districts, the Tagus river, the Salazar Bridge and Cristo-Rei to the west great for sundown moments. The ambiance is refined and the decor traditional lavish Portuguese with ancient tiled walls, Great old wooden chairs,... More

After a visit to Castelo de São Jorge, if you want a very quiet place to have dinner, this is the right restaurant. Food is very good, great choice of wines. There restaurant is inside Pousada de São Jorge and it’s a little bit expensive. Awesome views.

I'm Portuguese, came do Casa do Leao with an organized group of foreigners. For eur 50 we got a terrible sea soup, an even worse duck rice, 2 glasses of eine coming from a botle that costs you eur2 in a supermarket and an edible chocolate cake (best part of the meal).

After that everything was just ok. The server was not nice or bad, he was just doing a job... not ok for that kind of restaurant. The only outstanding... More

We went to this restaurant because it was recommended in the Michelin guide (a reference in terms of food) but we were very disappointing. The restaurant was empty....I now understand why. The only good thing was the manager: he welcomed us and was very friendly. Our server did not speak nor smile, and it seemed he only wanted to go... More

My mum and I had been before for a drink, but we decided to have lunch here this time overlooking the city. For the view alone go! My mum had an amazing tomato salad, my black spaghetti and shrimp was tasty. Lovely green wine. I had great pleasure sharing my shrimp with a delightful little cat which enjoyed being petted... More
