    I liked everything about this restaurant! It’s Cozy, and both food and wine were very tasty. Even if I don’t like pork, the black pork check stewed in red wine is DELICIOUS. Paired with truffles mushed potatoes… amazing. They don’t accept cards but there’s an ATM right in front of the restaurant

    Loved the dinner here and all the dishes were cooked to perfection! Sardines were crispy and perfectly seasoned and went really well with the tomato soup Tuna: seared perfectly and not overcooked. It came with crispy yam, corn sauce with some popcorn and herbs and all the ingredients meshed really well! Octopus was soft, well seasoned and cooked

    They accept reservations on google so feel save booking in it. We tried only the octopus because we were not very hungry. It is really tender and tasty. I have rarely tried an octopus that way. I need to underline that there is a lot of oil and a bit of garlic but I liked that way. Recommend

    Best restaurant we've been to in Lisbon. Great service and the food was amazing. Really enjoyed the wine recommendations for the food, they were a great match! They accept cards now, so no need to bring cash. Try to reserve in advance as the place is pretty small. If you want to have a very nice Portuguese dinner, this is the place to go.

    The food was delicious and I really recommend to taste the skate in coriander sauce, oysters, sweet potatoes and seaweed, for sure the best I’ve eaten so far! The service always kind and friendly. About the cost I can say that is more expensive than average but Worth it for the quality of the ingredients and the combination of flavours! Super adviced!

    I am very glad I had dinner here. I found it by filtering for highest ratings, then my hotel's concierge told me it was the place he goes for octopus. He called to make sure they were still open, and was informed they would seat me if I arrived quickly, though they were about to close. They actually stayed open just for me! I intended to go for the shrimp, but decided to also try the octopus. I got both (far too much for 1 person) and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. This was my first time eating octopus, and I was worried it would be chewy. But it was so tender, and they let the ingredients shine. My server also picked the wine and port I drank, as well as the desert- meringue. Absolutely worth 5 stars! This meal made me fall in love with Lisboa ❤️

    Excellent food and wines. We enjoyed the garlic prawns, polvo, filled mushrooms and king prawn. Very good service as well. Book ahead of you want a table outside.

    Very good restaurant and excellent service! Very small so if you plan on eating early (they open at 1930) make a reservation, otherwise you may have to come back around 2100-2200 and hope for a table.

    This little restaurant was so amazing. The octopus was the star dish. Every single table had one. Make sure to make a reservation because they stay packed!

    What a delicious meal in Barrio alto! Enjoyed the sardine appetizer, cauliflower soup, cauliflower entree, and swordfish. All we excellent. Beautiful presentation and service was spot on. Small restaurant with intimate interior and outdoor seating as well to view people traffic along the busy cobblestone streets. Try the sangria. 750ml will get you about 3.5 glasses - go with the 1.5L for only 30€!!

    The must order dish here is the octopus which was cooked perfectly. Our server also made some other great recommendations for the sea bass with clams and sweet potato puree, and the beetroot with guacamole and strawberries which were both delicious. We finished off with the pineapple, chili pepper and moscato dessert which was the perfect ending to the meal.

    Big gap from the ratings I followed to choose the restaurant and the dinner I have had. Went for dinner (booked the same day). Venue is very nice and cozy (small place, few tables and nice jazz playlist) and service serving giving attention and explanations. We started with a Carapau de escabeche (baked bread with marinated herrings, foie gras and grilled goat cheese on top. Nice combination, but cheese was covering rye taste of the other ingredients. Then we had a Raia de contrada (ray fish) served with a coriander sauce , raw and fried oysters, smashed potatoes and fried sweet potatoes. Also here good combination of tastes, but unfortunately the ray was not properly cooked. Then we had roasted lamb sett ed with chestnut puree, boiled chestnut and mushrooms. Finally something balanced and tasty. We then finished with pumpkin crème brûlée (tasty, but not super since it was served cold, maybe forgotten to bake in the oven) and millefoglie with mele cotogne and apples. Also in this case an eatable dessert, but a warm-up in the oven would have given a better taste. We made the wIter aware of the cold crème brûlée , and he simply said it was strange, since it is baked in the oven. Prices were adequate to the dinner we had, but quality of food was expected at a different level. So, all in all, pretty disappointed.

    Versículo d'O Faia in Lisbon offers a remarkable culinary experience that beautifully blends tradition with innovation. Their upscale modern Portuguese cuisine is a revelation for the taste buds. The Portuguese beef and lamb dishes are nothing short of perfection, showcasing the rich flavors of locally sourced ingredients. The meats are tender, expertly seasoned, and a true homage to Portuguese gastronomy. To top off the meal, their Portuguese desserts are a delightful finale. Each bite is a sweet symphony of authentic flavors that leave a lasting impression. This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking an elevated Portuguese dining experience in the heart of Lisbon.

    Soooo tasty!! Loved the cod and the gluten free desert. Many gluten free options.. Very friendly staff. A bit expensive but worth it!!

    Very nice little restaurant, our server was adorable, very good advice for the wines that accompanied our dishes and also for my boyfriend who didn't drink wine, he was able to offer him an alcohol that fit perfectly with his dish. Refined dishes, flavors that I’m not used to eating and it was exquisite! Thank you very much for this experience ☺️.

  • 5/5 Lukas Z. 7 months ago on Google • 33 reviews
    Really, really, outstanding seafood! I can highly recommend the octopus and the tuna - both are not only best quality but also come with perfect sides and are extremely well seasoned. That said, all other seafood we had was exceptionally good as well. The meat options at least looked good as well, but I think you would miss out on the real highlights, which are seafood. The service is quick and friendly the atmosphere to my liking as well. There are tables outside too. All in all easily the best restaurant we had in Lissabon and the pricing is reasonable as well.

    Great location to have locally prepared Portuguese favours. Food - We ordered the Octopus and house stew main, along with the lamb appetizer. All were delicious in their own right. The tenderness of the Octopus was something we’ve not had in North America while the house stew was intriguing with its mixture of meats. Service and Atmosphere - the restaurant and waiters were welcoming, took their time explaining each h dish and we did not feel out of place.

  • 5/5 Matilda W. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice spot! Food was good, especially the egg dessert with cream and red fruit sauce, octopus could be done a bit crispier from the outside and soup could be seasoned a bit more. Generally nice. Nice staff as well, very helpful.

  • 1/5 Cristina L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We arrived at 8:30 and the owner said to come back around 9:30 because there were no free tables. We showed up there at the agreed time, and he didn't want to attend us, without giving explanations. The deal leaves much to be desired. (Original) Llegamos a las 8:30 y el dueño dijo que volviésemos sobre las 9:30 porque no habia mesas libres. Nos presentamos allí a la hora acordada, y no nos quiso atender, sin dar explicaciones.

  • 4/5 Philip 1 year ago on Google
    Good standard restaurant. Maybe a bit over the median in price for Portugese standard, but definitely worth it. We tried the sea bass, the shrimp, the octopus and the steak and I have to say they all held the line very well. Not the best we've had, but all plates were empty at the end of the meal. Decor is top notch and the staff is friendly. I would recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Rumsha S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great ambience, excellent food and service. Very clean and the staff actually ensures everyone entering is vaccinated unlike some other places that don't bother. The shrimp on garlic was a super hit; octopus was one of the best we've ever had. Bacalhau was also very good. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Nancy H. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite meal out in Lisbon! The atmosphere, service and food was amazing (they even have gluten-free bread which was amazing!). My only regret is that we didn’t make it back for a second visit during our stay. If I return to Lisbon, this will be the first restaurant on my itinerary.

  • 5/5 Dana B. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite meal in Lisbon! Didn't feel like a "tourist trap" restaurant like many others nearby. High quality food and service. Get the stuffed peppers for sure! Romantic spot with an extensive wine list and larger portions of food than expected 😋.

    "We returned to this restaurant 5 years later and the octopus was still the best my husband has ever had. A new menu except for the octopus and everything looked delicious. Service was also excellent as was the first time."

  • 5/5 Charlotte 1 year ago on Google
    We went without a reservation but they were able to find us a table. The service was amazing - professional & friendly ! The food was very delicious . We had the grilled shrimps and the smoked cod salad (no picture but it was delicious!) and the octopus & the lamb for the main meal ! We would definitely recommend trying it out with a reservation ;)

  • 5/5 Nahil 5 months ago on Google
    Def our fav spot in Lisbon for perfect food! The seafood is very delicious. We were at BAHR the night before, but this place tops it easily! Interesting enough we ordered the same main courses without realizing it, and Versiculo is much better and bigger portions with better presentation as well! The pictures speak for themselves, there was an older waiter man who was very kind and super professional, halfway throughout our dinner we requested to move to another table since two guests showed up extremely sick coughing and sneezing right next to us. The waiter quickly let us move without even saying anything although we already created a mess on our table lol.

  • 4/5 Summer A. 6 months ago on Google
    I really wanted to give this charming and beautiful establishment a 5 star since everything was so wonderful except for my main course the cod which came out cold, the main reason I wanted to visit here to enjoy the best cod that’s famous for in Portugal 😭 I wish I claimed it to the wait staff as I took my first bite but I had 3 other guests with me and didn’t want to make a scene or came off difficult so I just decided unnoticed 😞 but the flavor was lovely. And yes I’ll come try again with this beautiful spot on my next visit for sure!

    We had a very nice dinner here. I had beef entrecote and my wife had a mushroom risotto from the vegan menu. Before, we ate shrimp with garlic sauce and sautéed poultry liver. They were all delicious! Also, the dry wine I ordered was amazing. I highly recommend it!

  • 5/5 Todd P. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely service and exceptional food. Started with the stuffed peppers and prawns for starters which we loved. Then had the octopus and steak for main. Steak was good but I did wish I got my girlfriends choice of the octopus instead. We'll be returning before we fly home.

  • 5/5 Bill A. 4 years ago on Google
    For our final meal of our holiday, we chose this tiny restaurant. Actually, the good, authentic ones are usually tiny. Started with garlic prawns. And shared a very tasty dried salted cod Faia style, baked in mayo, mashed potato and onion sauce. They surprised us with a shrimp hidden in the cod. Finally, the thinly sliced, grilled black pork loin was surprisingly juicy yet crispy on the edges. A fitting end to our Portugal holiday.

    (Translated by Google) Great Portuguese Dinner We dined inside the restaurant. Nice ambiance and relaxing background music. Excellent service. Plentiful and very good dishes. We had cod stuffed peppers as an appetizer (really good), a plate of cod on potatoes and cabbage and a portion of octopus on potatoes and spinach. all very good. Prices slightly above the Portuguese average, but really generous portions. We could have taken only the two main courses and they would have been enough anyway .... To drink we had the Sangria of sparkling wine and red fruits, really good !!! We spent 59 euros in all. Definitely a restaurant that I recommend! (Original) Ottima Cena Portoghese Abbiamo cenato all'interno del ristorante. Ambiente carino e musica di sottofondo rilassante. Ottimo servizio. Piatti abbondanti e molto buoni. Abbiamo preso i peperoni ripieni di baccalà come antipasto (davvero ottimi), un piatto di baccalà su patate e cavoli e una porzione di polpo su patate e spinaci. tutto buonissimo. Prezzi leggermente al di sopra della media portoghese, ma porzioni davvero abbondanti. Avremmo potuto prendere solo le due portate principali e sarebbero state comunque sufficienti.... Da bere abbiamo preso la Sangria di spumante e frutti rossi, davvero buona!!! Abbiamo speso 59 euro in tutto. Sicuramente un ristorante che consiglio!

  • 5/5 Romana Iva P. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing dinner in Lisbon at a great price. Order their signature dish - the baked octopus, and the entrecote, they are both so delicious. The cod stuffed peppers as an appetizer in saffron sauce were just divine. The wines are great too and do not miss the desserts (the baked banana in cointreau with vanilla ice cream!)
