in the last weekWe both absolutely LOVED our meal here. It's off a main Street, but seems intimate the moment you step inside. The customer service was top notch with our waiter cracking jokes that were actually funny, and the front of house letting us "behind the velvet rope" to get inside. You could see the teamwork amongst the staff which contributed to the comfortable atmosphere. The decor of this place... Kudos to whomever it was who came up with it, I loved it all. It is pure whimsy, from the "lock and key" men's and women's bathrooms, to the wall of books "flying" away. It really felt like I could spend hours here munching away on delicious food in this whimsical and cozy setting. Then there was the food. Not being a seafood person, I would have to say this restaurant had some of the best food I'd had on our trip. My SO had the cod, and I had the pica pau with the baked chorizo and cheese bread. At the end of our delicious meal, we were even treated to a complimentary shot to wind out the evening. When we come back to Lisbon, this will 100% be my first stop for dinner!

in the last weekAbsolutely amazing. ambiance was great and then got better with live accordianist. Food was amazing. Only thing for me was I prefer a sweeter sangria, but that is a personal taste not anything against the restaurant. Everything was amazing. highly recommend the port for dessert and the Portuguese chocolate mousse. It is served with sea salt and olive oil. The olive oil and sea salt enhance that flavor like you wouldn't believe . Tasting the chocolate by itself was good , but totally elevated with the olive oil and sea salt. Followed by a traditional shot at the bat after you pay the bill. We will be back. We are foodies from Dallas, TX and I would give anything to have Altar in Preston Hollow near me!!!
