LISBOA RESTAURANTS - NORTH OF THE RIO TEJO
Useful 'Eating Out' in Portugal tips & service expectations to be aware of:
1. Always check your bill thoroughly! There's a tendency to have little extras slip in here & there which you shouldn't be paying for.
2. The customer is never right in Portugal - so good customer service can be somewhat lacking at times & you may be met with some arrogance.
Hope the above is useful & helps you have a pleasant & better dining experience in Portugal having had this info upfront.

Galeto - Av. Republica, Lisboa
|
Galeto is by far our most favourite Lisbon restaurant, the service & food have never failed to impress us. We're regular visitors as the food is always excellent and the service is always top notch. It's opened from 7.30am-3am so you can pop in for a late meal/snack or whenever you fancy. Even though it was opened in 1966 it's still so contemporary and trendy today with its 60s retro decor and diner-esque saloon bar - we just love it here!
Galeto serves traditional Portuguese food ranging from soups to burgers and all types of meat and fish dishes. We highly recommend the grilled squid (lulas grelhadas), hamburgers, pork sandwiches (bifanas) and the steak/egg and chips (bife a Galeto). You should also try the 'esparregado' (spinach puree) a Galeto speciality which accompanies most dishes - it's super delicious! |
The prices are a little high but OK for what's on offer, they do however increase slightly after 10pm. It's not visited by many tourists as it's off the tourist radar, but the waiters speak English. No need to book, no need to wait to be seated - just sit at your favourite/chosen counter. You can also sit out on the terrace for a coffee - it's the perfect place to people watch.
We normally include our 'Eating Out' in Portugal tips which are the negative things to look out for, but we can honestly say Galeto has always been a fantastic experience for us. |
