Guests often highlight the theatrical flair as staff finish dishes tableside, such as the perfectly prepared fish in salt and the delightful orange cake. The portions are generous, and the dessert selection, including a memorable fruit crème brûlée, rounds out an exceptional meal. Altar is truly a standout destination for those seeking authentic and flavorful Portuguese cuisine in Lisbon.

in the last week5 Stars all around. Tucked into a quiet corner on the hills of Lisbon is this hidden gem. We arrived and the sounds of a love accordion greeted us and a glass of wine as we waited. The meal was fantastic and huge, so we were happy we walked! Each course was special and filled with local flavor. Atmosphere was perfect, must recommend!!
