Why Travelers Love Palácio Chiado
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
This place is GORGEOUS! The decor is stunning. It used to be a palace. It's breathtaking. Our server Diago ( I'm not sure of spelling) was AMAZING!! Incredibly attentive the entire time. We can't say enough good things about the wonderful service we received. The food is good but not spectacular. I splurged on the caviar and I wouldn't recommend it. It had no flavor. The bread it was served with was delicious though. My bill with 4 drinks, meal, caviar, for just myself was over $225. I had high expectations for this and was disappointed slightly. The food is good but nothing special, however the octopus and prawns were really meaty and good. It took ages to get us served, then took 45 min for starters to come, then another 45 min for the mains to come. Service was ok but it felt like we were being rushed to finish the wine we purchased and the tables were super close together which didn’t make it feel intimate at all. The setting however is beautiful and truly unique but for the price I would dine elsewhere A five star all round experience fantastic food, fantastic staff, extremely attentive and amazing value for money. We had a wonderful lunch keep it up to your fantastic.

Go for the gin and tonics, stay for the environment! This beautiful palace has been converted into a bar restaurant on the 2nd floor. It is really cool inside; huge staircase, enormous doors with incredible hardware, tapestries, murals.

Its a fancy place, service is great and the architecture is pretty amazing too. Food is good but nothing special in my opinion. It’s pretty expensive and you are encouraged to tip. Its worth trying.
