Best Restaurant in portugal

B	Ben Blackburn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great place for traditional Portuguese cooking with a modern edge. Apparently on the vanguard of the new wave of contemporary tavernas in Lisbon, Ideal provides authentic and time honoured flavours fit for the contemporary diner. Like most restaurants in Lisbon, this takes a tapas style approach. We shared 3 small plates and 1 large dish between two. Mushrooms sautéed with chestnuts had incredibly depth and earthiness of flavour, but sweetness too from the chestnuts. Prawns sautéed with sun dried tomatoes were good - but no surprises. Toast with melted goats cheese, honey and rosemary was sublime and, hopefully, relatively easy to recreate at home! The star of the show was the big plate (definitely a healthy portion) of soft polenta with cod. Comfort eating at its best. The fish had a very meaty texture while the sweet, soft polenta was like an unctuous risotto. Waiters were friendly, helpful and relaxed. Very accommodating to those with dietary requirements (celiac and dairy intolerance in our case). Good craft beers on offer too - the local milk stout was great. 60-odd euros for an excellent, and very filling, meal for two.

S	Susan Davis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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)
C	Catherine C. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.
D	Deborah Carnwath on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Every single thing we ate was delicious. We took the advice of very friendly waiting staff, and were glad we did. We wanted an informal, pleasant meal on our first night in Portugal, and we were delighted...and very full. Great place.
A	Alexandra Anghel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food here was amazing, we absolutely loved every single dish. And we tried about eight of them, we were a bit group and shared. We will definitely be back!
D	Danae Pessarra on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing food and kind service. We went with a large group and experienced the most humble and lovely service in English with exquisite and authentic Portuguese dining. Highly recommend to anyone wishing for quality dining.
D	Dora M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It used to be great 7+ years ago, when the food was tasty and the waiters were knowledgeable and super friendly. Unfortunately it seems like they've tried too hard to adjust to international customers, so it just feels like a "tourist trap" now. Food is nowhere nearly as good, prices have gone way up and the atmosphere is just... off. They're trying too hard to be hip and cool, but it just makes for a very weird experience. It's not a "taberna" anymore.
