Chiado restaurant was absolutely amazing! The food was impressive and so tasty..our table had 7 people,and 2 with allergies. They exceeded our expectations. One of Our servers was Orlando (we forgot to get the other servers names, they were incredible too) and he was exceptional +. The service was so efficient and on point. This is a real (and impressive) fine dining experience. This is a must visit restaurant..put it on your absolute list.

Such a lovely restaurant! Food is always incredible, service and staff are so kind and thoughtful - truly one of my fave places in the city. Every dish on the menu is simply divine! We got the lamb on mushroom risotto, specialty feature tuna tartare, fig salad and smoked chorizo. 100/10!!!! If you’re looking for an incredibly tasty authentic Portuguese restaurant, I highly recommend Chiado!

Very quaint Portuguese restaurant, the vibes of the whole place is immaculate. Server did an amazing job at explaining all the fish that was on the menu for the day. My dish was cooked perfectly, rare to see such a large piece of fish cooked this well. The dessert I got was a little bit weird but that was on me for selecting it.

The best way to sum up my experience at Chiado was mediocre at best. Sure, going for Summerlicious means you're going to have slightly worse ingredients in the pursuit of the experience, but for $75.00 per person, this was pretty unacceptable. The sad thing is, the appetizers were actually quite good. The lobster bisque was creamy and rich, and the Ceviche was pretty good as well! Unfortunately, our mains were just ok. My lamb chops tasted super gamey, and the portion size was shockingly small. Serving a single small potato to me just feels like unnecessary cost cutting. The monkfish risotto was better, but it was just fine. To cap it off, I finished the meal with a tiny slice of lemon cake. I'm not exaggerating when I say tiny, if I tried I could absolutely eat this slice in a single bite. The creme caramel was slightly larger but was ultimately not very good. It didn't really have any caramel flavor, mostly tasting like eggs. Oh well! Service was just fine. Our waiter was very cold and impersonal, though we were greeted very warmly by a different server. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful though!

All in all, I didn't find Chiado to be particularly good. Would I go back? Certainly not.

Great food great atmosphere,
Grilled octopus was AMAZING, Monk fish was very well done , The other fish was good too.
Cream Brûlée could be a bit less watery.
(my only recommendation) :
We’d have liked to have more authentic Portuguese desserts,
overall highly recommend .

The place is amazing.It’s an upscale restaurant so the prices are accordingly.
We were there for Father’s Day as well as some other celebration,
If someone wants to have good time,eat quality food and be nice and friendly restaurant this is the place.
The waiter who looked after us was Judah ( I hope that I got his name right).
He is a very professional,easy going and very polite.
Very good employees keeps the business growing and thriving.
Before we ordered the main courses he brought a plate with all the ingredients used to make any main course ( that was a first for me and it was a nice touch) which made our decision whip meal we wanted much easier.
He also advised us which wine he recommended to go with the meals we ordered.
The choice was perfect.
We had a very good time at this restaurant.
We also recommend this restaurant to any person or persons wants to do any events or just want to have good time.
There is a public parking not very far from the restaurant.
Interesting enough the parking lot is next to a Police Station so I would say is safe to walk from and to this parking lot or walk to the restaurant.
To the entire team at this restaurant who made our stay very enjoyable,,THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Keep up the good work.

The food was amazing and very delicious. It was presented well and the portions were a good size as well. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable which is nice. I highly recommend the calamari, you won’t regret it. Overall, lovely place to have dinner with friends, family or a date.

Amazing food and service! The grilled squid is the best in the city. The sea bass and tiger shrimp were great too. All the seafood was cooked perfectly. The table olives and bread was a nice touch. They brought out a birthday cake and port wine that was nice.

It got busy and had an older crowd. The white table clothes change the vibe.
