Taberna da Esperanca in Lisbon

The food here was amazing - the chicken liver dish was my favorite, and the tuna dish was also amazing. I'd also recommend the pork with sweet potato mash - really well done. All the flavors went together so good!

It's a nice place with antique look, it seems that Lisbon was stuck in the 60s... The food is tasty but what really makes the difference is the concept! It is suggest to choose one dish to share between three boards. One "tiborna alentejana" (it's similar to a toasted bread with cheese among other things), one tidbit (I recommend the mushrooms with chestnuts!) and a main course. So I recommend you to go there with someone willing to share.My unique complain is that the price is a little expensive for the provided dishes...

Really nice little place with amazing food. Shrimps were close to the best shrimps I ever tried. And all the rest was very very good. Spot is small but has nice decor of old posters and furniture.Staff is really nice and helpful.Prices are affordable.

Great food and good service. Loved it. Veal chop and clams were amazing and wait staff attentive. Prices very fair.

Amazing place and people! Food is great and they’re the nicest people. I definitely recommend

Everything was on point. Mains were $12-16 and worth every penny. The fig crumble dessert warrants a return visit on its own.

Amazing place. Relaxed atmosphere, in a non touristic neighborhood. Food is amazing and prices are normal. Also the staff has been super friendly and helpful.

Best Restaurant in Lisbon. With 2 weeks in Portugal this was the highlight of my trip. Would go back every day if i could. A must visit.

Awesome Food, probably the best we had in Lisboa. Super friendly staff and extraordenary meals.

Great food. Best tuna in town!

Great representation of typical portuguese food served in portions to share. The service is very attentive and the staff speaks very well English. The decor is noteworthy: typical tavern with a touch of portuguese grandma house, making you feel home. Super!

Nice place to have rustical countryside food with a distinct original taste. I had two tapas: tuna and a dish of quails cooked in wine. The tuna was fried perfectly medium and came wrapped in a sandwich with mayonnaise . The quails were very tasteful and reminded of a coq au vin. However, some things were missing to be truly excellent in my view. The mayonnaise drowned the excellent tuna and too many little slices of garlic added to the overpowering of the fish. The quails were a bit dry (it's hard to prepare quails juicy). It's still a place I may come back to.

Lovely tittle place with great service and heartwarming food. Beware though, portion sizes are huge! I loved the atmosphere also. 5* from me!

Amazing food. Definitely the best portugese restaurant ive been to in my 7 days stay here. Highly recommned the shrimp, cod fish and veal here. Didnt have a chance to try the rest, but rest assured quality will be optimal.

We had the shrimp and chicken liver for starters and the pork cheek for the main entree, this was very good! The toast with goat cheese, honey, and rosemary for dessert was delicious! The wine was also very good (Passagem Reserve 2015)

We found this place by chance. The servers were very nice and the food was really good. The wine was also nice. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable. Definitely recommend.

I felt disappointed. The name "tavern" suggests a different type of restaurant. Food is tasty but that's not classic Portuguese. Space is narrow and you might get some bumps from other customers while eating. Heads-up: served portions are too small and the price is exorbitant. It's more costly than the two Michelin star restaurant nearby for the equivalent amount of food. Beware that dishes aren't good for sharing and leaving satisfied. Wine is overpriced - consider alternatives. Staff is friendly and cozy. The restaurant closes early and you can't relax after dinner. There are better alternatives nearby.

One of the best dinning experiences in Lisbon. Not only the food was fantastic, but also the waiters and the atmosphere were excellent. Such a surprise!

Tried walking in but the restaurant was fully booked. Ended up sitting in bar beside it (same owners) and ordering from there. Of the tapas we had, the best was the mussels and codfish salad. It was exceeding fresh and very tasty. I love this place. The food is good, the service was friendly and the prices are pocket friendly.

Very nice foodie experience, sharing based menu with v. soft and sweet octopus main! We decided to end actually our diner with the fig "starter", if you like to mix sweetness w/ strong cheese & ham i can only recommend!! Lovely staff too! :-)
