Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Excellent food, excellent and friendly staff. Nicely done interior. Had a great conversation with the bartender as I tried to use a few Portuguese phrases. Aside from the great meal, the personal touches made this a great choice.

This restaurant is conveniently located on the square opposite the old convent and Archaeological Museum and National Guard headquarters. We enjoyed an inside table that looked out onto the square. The service was excellent and there was a lovely ambience. One of us enjoyed prawn...risotto while the other enjoyed a high- quality hamburger. Highly recommended.More

Found by accident as were looking for the Convento do Carmo. Located in a beautiful square but quite busy. Menu looked excellent and did not disappoint. We had a shared starter of meat and cheeses then tagliatelli and gnocchi for main course. The waiting staff...need to be on their toes avioding the cars and tuk tuks crossing the road to get food and drinks.More

The cod cakes, veal croquettes, and tempura were highlights but everything was delicious. Don’t skip on the egg pie with lemon for dessert even if you’re full. It’s amazing. Mariana is an amazing server. David is an amazing server. Both took excellent care of us....We came across this place on the Rick Steve’s walking tour. You do not want to bypass this restaurant. Staff and food are incredible.More

This restaurant is a little fussy for what it is--a casual Portuguese place for lunch. The wait staff were helpful with recommendations for my teenagers, and they were fairly efficient. The food itself was better than expected--the shredded codfish dish was very good; my kids...enjoyed the steak and pasta dishes. If you are in the area, it is a great place to stop for a longer lunch.More

If you’re in the Chiado area of Lisbon looking for a lunch I highly recommend Carmo Restaurante. We eat twice both times outside. The location enjoys the atmosphere of the square without being overly busy or too touristy. But by far the main reason for...this recommendation is the quality of the food. For a high quality lunch without any pretence, at a fair price, you must try Carmo.More

I arrived at 7pm. Even though winter, the man tried to persuade me to sit outside because the place was fully booked. I said that I would look elsewhere. He got cross and took me in and showed me to a table. When I left...at 8:30pm there were only two other tables taken! An error of judgement? Food was not brilliant. The risotto rice was very poor, and the herbs were from a jar not fresh. The seafood on it was overcooked and not fresh. Overall poor value for money, especially as there was a weird smell in the restaurant throughout the meal.The music playing was too loud.More

We were one of the first people in (hungry early!) and had a wonderful seat looking out the window onto the cute little square out front. Unfortunately...that was the best part. The service was slow even though there were only 2 other tables with us....Our waiter seemed very young and although he seemed comfortable with speaking English with us, he didn't know much about the menu. The drinks we asked for were declined because they didn't have a bartender. The food itself was average and we thought not a good value. Nothing here really stood out besides the location and the beauty of the restaurant.More

Ran in here as it was lashing rain. There were four of us. A resounding score of average to below average food. We were hunted out of the place at 11 pm, even though they state they are open until 12. The water was pleasant...and attentive, but I'm really struggling to just find anything positive about our experience.More

+1 for smart casual. We went for dinner and it's not at all formal, but the place is on the trendier side.
