the best italian restaurant in lisbon we have been too by far ! Great pizza, great pasta, and traditional main dishes

Extensive menu like we are used to in italian restaurants. The appetizers were good the main dishes were good and the panna cotta too... Hard to find a bad about the restaurant... oh yeah you can smoke in the restaurant something we do not like. If you want italian in Lisbon this is the place we recommend

New and refreshing...

Very nice cosy place. For a little more formal dinner with friends. They serve the portuguese dishes in a refined way. The appetizers were very good, we had the camenbert with honey (the honey was portuguese :) ) and the stuffed mushrooms both very nice and served with hot bread.

The mains we tried were the duck, the bacalhau com broa and the chicken with cured ham. Last two dishes were very very good. The duck was good but for my taste it did not find good harmony with the also very good tasting risotto and a couple of slices of orange... That risotto would be perfect with some grilled praws or lam cutlets... and the duck with some braised potatoes and panroasted veggies... but this is the chef in me... we had a very good meal we all went for the same dessert. We will go back to try the rest of the menu... We liked it, tell us when you go and try it too...

Very good price quality ! Nice and friendly service. Good food. GO GO GO...

Samurai (miraflores)

name: Samurai
type place: japanese restaurant. yep again a japanese but even better than the ones of the same chain we have been to so far

Rua Dr. António Loureiro Borges nº14 , 1495 – 131 Miraflores

a little hard to find the first time but worth the search... it looks like they have a very nice outside dining area.

open every day price idea: less than 20 € Difference between this chain (exist 6 restaurants spread over lisbon) and the other japanese all you can eat places is that the food is not on a buffet or passes by on a conveyer belt but it is served at the table. You get a menu (with pictures) of all the dishes you have an believe me you will find something you like or you are just plain difficult. From sushi and sashimi to springrolls, dim sum, salad, grilled meat and chicken to various teppan yakis (food cooked on hot plate) and tempura (fried vegetables, shrimp. The sushi an sashimi are fresly made and the hot dishes are served hot. A little cheaper for lunch than for dinner but always a good deal. We like it a lot and been here several times it is our favourite now, not as far as the ones in expo, and they chef presents the dishes better than in the other samurais. We prefer this restaurant over the food on a belt place (hong sha long) but also better than the buffet place (hokkaido) that we visited and talked about before. Off course bica do sapato sushi is better...
