Why Travelers Love Can the
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I genuinely enjoyed this restaurant, which was actually a surprise as it is near the river in Lisbon and I assumed it would be generic tourist fare. I had the fried cuttlefish and the marinated tuna (both starters) which were both highly enjoyable. Local wines were a good selection and the service was top notch. Not cheap, but worth the price. What a beautiful setting in front of the river. Loved the open air setting. Pleasant weather with light sun. Temperature in November 2nd week was amazing. Quu k service and great food. This is a wonderful place! 🤩👍🏼 We spent an afternoon here wanting drinks and ended up having dinner as well. The staff are super-attentive without being imposing, perfectly balanced 😃👌🏼 Drinks are good, not watered down and not too strong. The fish is lovely, and the same goes for the salad - all in all a great place to eat, drink and people watch (of course!)

Excellent seafood. I had the oven baked octopus and my wife the tiger prawn Caesar salad. Both were excellent. Our waiters were great - attentive without crowding you. They also had a sense of humour, which I appreciate. Good seafood with a modern, cutting edge. Disappointed to have only discovered it on our last night or else we would be back.

I came here with my mum to watch the sunset with dinner and drinks. All of the staff were lovely and friendly. The drinks were great (both cocktails and mocktails) and the food was really delicious and fresh. The service was quick. We would come back for sure! Lovely setting to people watch over the square and near the river.
