On the corner of Placa de Espana, across the street from the Fundacao Calouste Gulbekian, this is one of Lisbon’s more expensive restaurants. By British standards, the food is cheap, and the wine is about the same price. Food is good; so is service. Local red wine was excellent.

I went to La Gondola upon recommendation from a friend. The description she made of the place corresponded entirely to the truth: great food and wine, welcoming environment, friendly waiters, beautiful decorations and nice owner. It's very easy to find from the metro station and, the weather permitting, one can enjoy a peaceful meal outside. I would definitely go there... More

I went to this restaurant encouraged by the good reviews. I found it average rate in terms of quality of food, absolutely normal service and demodée décor. The daily menu is short, bread is vulgar and the price is exagerated for what it offers. I live in Lisbon, and you can get much better food for the money you spent... More

This restaurant is located near to the Praça Espanha metro station, not really downtown but very easy to reach. We arrived at 1900 hrs which seems to be (too) early for dinner to Portuguese standards but the waiter was so friendly to let us in. The restaurant is nicely furnished inside (unfortunately it was too cold to sit outside). Service... More

My husband and I have eaten at La Gondola 4 times and on each occasion had delicious food and friendly but not overbearing service. The restaurant has a welcoming interior with many pretty ceramics on the walls - it reminds us of some old-fashioned eateries in Italy, which is perhaps the point, since the Gondola has Italian origins, though it...

So its not Gordon Ramsey or Heston by any means but it is what it is and it's good at it. The staff were very friendly which to me is always half the battle. Our waiter took time to give a map and show us some good spots to go. The food on the table when you first arrive is... More

We are a Canadian/Spanish couple, and from both cultural perspectives we were quite pleased. Definitely not the cheapest for Portugal standards, but well worth the service and quality of food. Our waiter, Sergio, was a young man who was very "simpatico" and sweet. We showed up for lunch at 4 or 5 pm (not lunch time); nevertheless, the owner and... More
