The chicken on spit was delicious, especially with the authentic peri peri sauce. The wait staff were really quick and helpful, we waited under 5 mins for food and drink

This restaurant was recommended by a local, and we enjoyed sitting outdoors just off the Praça dos Restauradores. Flowers decorated the walls of this quaint restaurant, and a street singer entertained us for part of the time. We loved the roast chicken, which was tender...and flavorful, and felt the service was terrific.More

THE BEST!!!!!!! I ate here 3 nights out of my 5 day vacation. Traditional Portuguese food that my husband grew up eating. Friendly staff, reasonable priced and very clean! Will come again!

Really Excellent eatery with the very Best Piri Piri Chicken we've ever had. During a 3 night stay in Lisbon we ate dinner here twice it was that good. The staff are friendly and the food is excellent. We sat outside on both nights. I...had a half Bottle of the Vinho Verde which was fantastic value at €9. The chicken with good fries cost €9.50. The portions are big. I had been to Bonjardim a few years ago and I was delighted to return. Thanks to all the Staff - keep up the good work - we will return.More

We shared a half chicken, two starters and a large sparkling water. Total was less than 20 euros. Chicken was juicy and flavorful. I am extremely picky. This was a great meal. Sad that someone complained that the chicken came in 4-5 minutes and was...thus "precooked". They clearly don't understand how restaurants work. If there is a main meal that they expect are ordered often, they will start roasting this early in the day. I hate to see bad reviews for hard working and great tasting restaurants. I highly recommend the place.More

Went here for lunch with my family after hearing all about the peri peri chicken at Bonjardim. We sat outside and orders were soon taken. We ordered as expected, peri peri chicken with chips. I could not believe how something so simple that I have...had all the time in the UK could be so tasty. The skin of the chicken is incredibly salty and crispy in contrast to the soft meat on the inside. It was a joy to eat and was probably some of the best chicken I have ever eaten (I have eaten a lot of chicken). On top of that, there is a peri peri sauce/oil which you can put on top of your chicken which adds so much flavour. For me it was stunning - something so simple had become something so spectacular. A must go for chicken lovers!More

Wow, what a place. The food is spectacular, the service is fabulous. Get there early, because they queue around the block later in the evening to get in. We were only in Lisbon for a week, but we had to go back here for dinner...again, and if I was in Lisbon now, it's where I would be going for dinner tonight.More

Great service! Very attentive waiter. Chicken was very flavorful but unfortunately I didn’t like the creamed spinach at all - strange texture and tasted bitter but I’m also a very picky eater. 5 stars for chicken and service, I’ll be back!
