📖

Full description

Café de São Bento is a steakhouse with a warm, wood-rich interior, best known for its steaks and a house pepper sauce. You ring a doorbell to get in, a detail reviewers mention, and it has a long reputation as the Portuguese Parliament's unofficial restaurant, which some find a little pompous and pricey.

Opinions vary, with some calling it underwhelming and others a standout lunch. At 4.6 stars from over 1,700 reviews and expensive pricing, booking is required.

It serves lunch and a long evening service running until 1 AM, so it also suits a late dinner.

Amazing experience 👍🏻 Loved the retro atmosphere. The food was overall great. One of the best tartars I ever had. Freshly chopped meat, amazingly dressed and seasoned 👍🏻 The gambas was great as well. The steaks were cooked to perfection and of good quality. The creamy sauce is not my personal favorite we all…
