I enjoyed a lunch at Chiado Palace... I selected it based on the previous reviews of google map (4.5 when I went there) I think it is a fair evaluation of this place. It does not have the wow effect that I found in other restaurants but the quality of the food is good throughout the meal. The service is very professional and the customer experience was likewise very good. The palace itself is lovely hence the ambience is great (and if you go towards the toilet take a moment to admire the internal staircase which on its own is lovely).

Place was beautiful and food was good. However, I can’t remember when I’ve got so terribly slow and ignorant service in my life. Waiter gave us food menus without any drink list. Took orders and we had to separately ask drink menus. It took first hour to get starters and then second hour to get main course. While waiting for main course we asked the waiter if it’s coming; the waiter just laughed at us. We finally got our food missing some dressing that arrived after we finished eating. We didn’t have time left for dessert. We asked for check. Waited 20 minutes to get it and then another 20 minutes so that we could pay it. Definitely not a place to go. Sad cause the place really is wonderful looking and we all liked our food.

Aside for the beautiful setting, the building itself, the food was of the worst I've ever tasted. Don't even know where to begin to describe it. The pricing is of fine dining and it tastes like industrialized food. We almost didn't touch it. Just avoid it.

Delectable food in regal surroundings. You are invited by the waitstaff to explore the art and splendor of this unique restaurant that is set in the Chiado Palace. The food is not only delicious but the prices are quite reasonable.

The place is visually stunning so we were initially impressed. That said we had issues with the service. Our cocktails took over 30 minutes and we actually got our wine for dinner way ahead of time. They blamed it on a new bartender and someone took over and got our drinks out. That said they were delicious when we eventually got them. The menu is extensive and there were many tasty options (including tons of gluten free). Food wise is excellent and the setting was beautiful. Service wise I would say it was strangely slow. Our server seemed to stand around alot waiting for something... It seems if you offer a huge cocktail menu, they should be able to make all of them in a reasonable time. To be fair, they offered us very nice port wine as an apology for the slow service. Overall it was a positive experience.
