“ The absolute best dining experience in south florida! The traditional Portuguese dishes are delicious and the wine list is fantastic. Must try if you are in the area. ”
“ Rafa was our server and he was very knowledgeable and attentive. We had the lunch special which includes a soup or salad with your mains. The salad was fresh and soup was caldo do verde very good. For the mains we had Bacalhau Bico which came with chickpeas tomato and sausage and had a great complexity of flavor almost like a lobster dish. For the other main we had Carne Porco which was pork and potatoes in an amazing sauce with pickckled carrots. This paired perfectly with the Principal Calcario 2012 red blender ordered from Bairrada. A fruit forward but nicely aged blend of indigenous Touriga Nacional with international variatals, Cabernet and Merlot. For dessert we got the Pasteis de Nata which is a custard tart they make in house daily, absolutely delicious! ”

“ I recently dined at Old Lisbon and had a lovely experience. The Sardines and Salada de Tomate were excellent choices, both recommended by our server. They truly showcased traditional flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. We also had the Bife de Churrasco and the Bife a Old Lisbon, which were a bit on the dry side, but still enjoyable overall. However, the real highlight for me was the dessert—Pasteis de Nata. These creamy custard tarts were absolutely delightful and the perfect way to end our meal. ”
“ I think this is the best restaurant in the area, by a wide margin. I was in town for work for about 2 weeks near Aventura mall area. Esch night I would try a new highly rated restaurant and Old Lisbon was by far the best I had in the area, so much so I came back a couple times. The shrimp appetizer was incredible. You can get it in a garlic sauce or a homemade spicy sauce. Both are incredible, but if you like some kick or a bit of spice I HIGHLY recommend the spicy sauce. While here I had the Iberian pork entree and the Duck confit entree and both I absolutely cleaned the plate. Meat was so tasty and tended. Pictured is duck confit. I only had one dessert throughout my visits, but I had these cream custard tarts topped with cinnamon, which was a recommendation from the server. Stellar, not to sweet, but just sweet enough. Every time I went service was also top notch and ambiance is awesome. A very cool tree in the dining room which it the lighting makes for a great setting. ”
“ I had a really great experience at Old Lisbon in Aventura! The service was exceptional from start to finish.
