9.5/10Busy and high energy place with many Portuguese patrons- always a great sign if you’re looking for something authentic. We ordered 5 dishes for 3 hungry ladies and couldn’t finish it all. We had eggs& sausage, goat cheese toast and a tomato toast, seared tuna with sweet potato and a brisket on bread. All amazing and everyone had a different favourite.

10/10This was our second visit to the restaurant , in a few days on our week long holiday. The food was wonderful. A new take on traditional Portuguese fare. Service with a smile and genuine friendliness. We will definitely return and urge you to go. Lovely.

10/10I love this restaurant! Has a very relaxed and rural Portuguese decor and the food is a showcase of traditional Portuguese delicacies. Sharing the dishes and enjoying them as tapas is the best option. The service and employees are great! I couldn’t recommend it more.

9/10We really enjoyed the food and service of Petiscaria Ideal. We had a very cozy table for our group and the service from the staff was very good. All staff collaborators were nice and gave their advice. The service was fast. The price for value was very good. We really enjoyed all the dishes we ordered for sharing, they were very tasty, had good portions, and were easy to share. The only thing we didn't like so much was that when the restaurant got full it was a bit noisy, maybe because there were big groups of young people. This was already when we were in the desert. Still, we really enjoyed our meal and we definitely recommend this restaurant.

9.5/10I love the long tables and delicious, homemade flavors at Petiscaria Ideal. We arrived at 9 and a few items had already run out, but what we did have was amazing — particularly the baked codfish and potato from the oven and the beef tenderloin. Food and wine were plentiful, and all for a good price!

Pedimos desculpa pelo o barulho, quando há grupos grandes o barulho é sempre um bocadinho maior . Esperemos que seja um até breve :)

9.5/10A hidden gem - neatly located in a small street in a residential area this place convinces with its concept of sharing the dishes. Perfectly prepared and nicely arranged the dishes were served by a super-friendly staff - greetings to Gi' from S.Paolo! A must when you are in the neighbourhood - you need to reserve, though!

8/10I’m a big fan of their sibling business, Taberna da Esperança, and I had high hope for the Petiscaria as well. The menus are very similar, although I think this one has more vegetarian options. Everything we ordered was tasty and well-prepared, although I think that the options are, in general, too reliant on bread. We were a big group in an evening full of big groups, and I appreciate the challenge this brings into service, but I must say that ours wasn’t great. Both waiters were kind and helpful, but they simply weren’t enough. The acoustics need improvements, urgently. The loud noise was already unbearable even before our big groups started to yell…

9/10Lovely small restaurant we'd never have found without a recommendation. Firstly, the food - it was absolutely fantastic. Great modern takes on traditional Portuguese cooking, all served as medium sized sharing plates. Extremely good value for the level of cooking. Great, intimate atmosphere, sat at long tables (we were a group of 10). Service was very friendly, but very slow - perhaps understaffed, so we'll give them the benefit of the doubt. We waited an hour for the first food to turn up, the same with drinks. They were polite and apologetic but looked pretty harried. Would just have been good to have some bread and drinks to keep us going. The food was definitely worth the wait. My tip - drink beer or wine as the cocktails were poor, although not expensive, and we didn't really find a good cocktail anywhere else in Lisbon either. Would recommend highly, even with the service issues. A great night.

A Petiscaria Ideal localiza-se num dos bairros históricos de Lisboa: Madragoa. Espaço informal e acolhedor, a sua decoração remete-nos para o ambiente de taberna dos tempos modernos. Mesas corridas, bancos de madeira, azulejos desiguais a lembrar outras épocas e antigos utensílios de cozinha dão o mote para um ambiente castiço e descomprometido onde sabe bem ir ficando. A privilegiar a cozinha portuguesa, é nos tão apreciados petiscos que ganhou fama. Não tem ementa fixa, porque diariamente os petiscos variam. Mas será sempre uma agradável surpresa e uma reconfortante viagem gastronómica. Deixe-se seduzir e desafie os seus amigos para agradáveis momentos à mesa. A Petiscaria Ideal espera por si.
Rua da Esperança 100, 1200-109 Lisboa
