We booked this restaurant last minute on our final day of holiday, and it ended up being the best meal we had. The food was spectacular - highlights included the traditional cabbage starter and the suckling pig (it melted in your mouth!). The staff were engaging and very knowledgeable about the food and wine. We were recommended a lovely wine pairing to have with our meal. The decor is also very relaxed with a touch of modern - we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely return to try the tasting menu.

We have found this place through a blog by a French journalist who lived 10 years in Lisbon. It is an old family home on two floors and a fire place. Their concept of open kitchen gives you an amazing view of all the hard work that goes “behind the scene”. 5 chefs that are giving their best to ensure unforgettable experience which we had. We took cod, but I tried tuna and pork from my friends which were totally out of this world!!! Thanks to Alex who was super friendly with the food recommendations and Eduardo who gave us the a wine tasting experience we can say that this was the best dinner we had during our three day stay in Lisbon! Keep up the stellar work you guys at the Casa Tradicao!!! 🥇🥇🥇

Stopped in based on the rave reviews online.  And boy did it not disappoint!!   Charming restaurant with big open kitchen.  Friendliest and knowledgeable staff!  We had the tasting menu and every bite we almost fainted in delight.  Wow.  Ferdinand, a local who was sitting next to us informed us that the chef is a 2 Michelin star chef.  Amazing find with incredible food and wine!

Best food I have had in Lisbon.. which is hard to say because there are some amazing places like Tapisco and Taverna Sal Grosso. However, Casa Tradicao is amazeballs! The Tuna dish and the pork belly dish are fire!

Amazing restaurant with a very casual atmosphere. The staff is top notch, super professional and friendly, really make you feel right at home. The food is heavenly - Portuguese cuisine with some modern twists, but an emphasis on tradition. We went with some a'la carte options, the menu is built in a clever way that makes it very shareable and enjoyable. Next time we're in Lisbon we're coming back here 100%. Highly recommended!
