A Taberna da Rua das Flores

La meilleure découverte du séjour…
Yummy!
Un délice pour les papilles…
Nous avons dégusté le thon rouge snackeé au sésame, les fleurs de courgette frit, les rives de porc et les crottins de chèvre …
Tout est cuisine de manière subtile.
Nous avons adoré!
Les serveurs sont juste parfait… nous avons détaillé toutes les tapas en détails!
Nous en avons pris 4 au total!
Attention tout donne envie…
Arrivez tôt! Car en effet réservation impossible car c’est petit mais vous pouvez le jour meme passer ds la soirée et on peut vous donner un créneau horaire de disponibilité. Mais il faudra être patient … En passant à 19h30 on nous avez proposé une table a 21h30!
Mais C’est L occasion de prendre L apéro ds les parages ;)

While the atmosphere is lovely and the service v good, the food is below par. The lamb chops are crunchy but have no meat and not tasty and the white baked fish was also a disappointment.

This is one of my go-​to restaurants when I’m in Lisbon for work. While I always try something new, the mackerel tartar and the clams are delicious dishes that are usually on the menu. Fish and meats are always cooked well and have great flavors. The menu changes all the time but you can’t go wrong. House red wine is good and I think the prices are reasonable. For one person, try two dishes and wine which comes to roughly 30 euros. It definitely gets crowded so get there early if possible and bring cash as they do not take credit cards. Service is excellent and they always translate the daily menu to English.

Pros:
1. Excellent food & service
2. Everyone knows English
Cons:
1. Its a taberna, so waiting time is min 1hr.
2. Do not have high chairs for babies, no food for babies.
3. Pricey
4. Cash only
Overall: Recommended

Great restaurant!
A bit more pricy than the typical Portugese restaurant but
1. Still cheap compared to simular restaurants
2. In a touristic area and therefor reasonably priced and VERY TASTY!
Recommended.

Small, romantic restaurant with ambience. The staff are exceptionally kind. The food is creative, varied, fresh, and delightful. You’ll need a reservation or call ahead.

This place made me very happy. I had to wait about 20 minutes but in the sunshine that wasn’t an issue. The service was perfect, and I was so thankful for the way the waiter explained everything in such detail in English — as a solo diner it really made me feel welcome and relaxed. The food was delicious and simple but in a clever, scrumptious way. I almost felt transported to another world I was so relaxed and satisfied. Definitely worth a visit — intimate, relaxed, and just lovely.

Now I know everyone on Unilocal loves this place, and has given it 4 – 5 stars. That is the reason It was on the top of my list of places to visit. So I went here with really high expectations. We went around 7:00pm so the place was really empty, which was good, because judging from the reviews it tends to get really crowded.
So upon entering we were greeted and given a seat, and they explained how they don’t have a set menu and it keeps changing every night. So they brought a huge black board and explained each and every dish on it. Since they have small servings similar to a tapas. We were recommended to order three dishes at least. But judging from the menu a lot of the items were being repeated. They mainly had white fish, cooked in different ways, some veggies and prawns. Which we later were told were finished. The prawns that is. Which was a little disappointing, because we were expecting really creative seafood dishes which would blow our mind. So a lil frustrated with the limited options, we went with the Mackerel, fried Cod (Portuguese special) and a mix veggie dish that came highly recommended.
Five minutes later our server came back and informed us that the Mackerel had finished too so we had to pick again… a little annoyed we picked another white fish. And hoped for the best.
Ten minutes later our food arrived. The veggies were the only thing that was really nice. The fried fish was more batter less fish and the other one was hardly a sliver. All in all It was a disappointing experience. Not one we were expecting considering we got there early.
We were still hungry, so we asked our server what she would recommend for dessert, she said hands down their ‘chocolate cake’. And boy she wasn’t wrong. It was amazing! A pity it was the tiniest chocolate cake I’ve ever eaten but nonetheless the best thing about our meal.
So I know everyone else has had a better experience at this place than me. Sadly this was not the 5 star place I was expecting it to be.
The three stars it has gotten are definitely for the service and the tiny slice of heaven they call a chocolate cake.

What a great find! Thanks Unilocalers! You definitely got it right this time! We came in for lunch and had the curry fish. Absolutely amazing flavors! Took me an hour to eat it tho because there were a ton of little fish bones to carefully take out. The waitress is super nice and speaks great English. She said they have more options for dinner. Wish I could go back again for dinner. This was one of the highlights of my Lisbon trip.

Excellent Portuguese tapas found here! And people know about it, so be prepared to wait. Even though locals tend to eat dinner later, actually way later in the evening, it will still be difficult to grab a table here because the English speakers are queuing up for dinner during «regular dinner hours.» That being said, the food is worth the wait.
As their menu is filled with delicious sounding tapas, we wanted to try every single one. Unfortunately about four of them will fill a party of two up pretty good. We ordered the mackerel tartare, the thinly sliced fried fish battered in rice flour with a side of hummus, scallops wrapped in bacon with wasabi mayo, oyster mushrooms with Portuguese sausage, and the chocolate mousse with grappa for dessert.
Every dish was very good, albeit a little on the pricey side for Portugal. The bacon-​wrapped scallops were unquestionably the best I’ve ever tasted… and you can rest assured that if bacon-​wrapped scallops are on a menu I am going to have a difficult time not ordering them… so yeah… I’ve had a lot of bacon-​wrapped scallops.
Friendly and helpful service!

Simplemente genial, la comida estaba deliciosa. Un lugar diferente, agradable. Las camareras del local han sido súper gentiles. Las almejas con chorizo y vino blanco son de ¹⁰⁄₁₀.

The prok here actually really nice, but if u came here late at lunch time, u may not able to hav too much chooices. however, the dishes here are tasty n also the quality of the house wine.

Fun spot for small plates. Kudos for the creativity but I found that most of the dishes sounded better on paper than they actually tasted. We had cool stuff like squid carbonara and mackerel tartare which were good but not exactly memorable. I liked that the waitress actually holds the huge chalkboard up while explaining the daily offerings.

What an amazing experience dining here was. The food, the service, the atmosphere– all top notch! As other reviews mention this is a very small and crowded restaurant and they do not take reservations, so it really is worth it to venture there earlier in the day to put your name down. My boyfriend and I decided to risk it and stop by around 9 and didn’t end up getting a table until 11. We didn’t mind and just went down the street for a couple glasses of wine, but if you’re not very flexible make sure to plan in advance.
There are no menus and the dishes of the day are just written on a chalk board (a surprising amount considering how often they change up) You don’t have to worry about reading it though as your server will come by and explain each dish in detail to you. They recommend 3 dishes for 2 people but I’d say go for 4– not because 3 isn’t enough food, but because you’re going to want to try as much as possible! You may leave feeling a little overstuffed, but trust me it’s worth it! Our server was happy to walk me through the wines they offer as well and we opted for a slightly higher end but still reasonable bottle of red that was almost as delicious as the food.
Since the dishes on offer change so often I’m not gonna bother explaining the quality of each dish, but to give an idea of what they had– we ordered between us: a ceviche of sorts with sweet potato chips, a suckling pig dish, tempura fried beans that were like fancy humongous fries, and roasted figs with goats cheese. All 4 were completely delicious (I did not try the suckling pig but my boyfriend spoke highly of it) and were about the size of a large tapas dish, or small entrée. I wouldn’t say they serve classic, traditional Portuguese food but a lot of the dishes were either more modern interpretations of classic dishes, or based on very Portuguese ingredients. So it hit the sweet spot of combining classic Portuguese cooking with more modern techniques and international ingredients and influence, something you do not get a lot of in Portugal!
The atmosphere is so cozy there you completely forget about the outside world, and regardless of your taste in food, a dinner at Taberna da Rua das Flores is almost sure to please! I can’t even think of a complaint! As a bonus it was also by far the best service we got in Portugal.
Tips: They only take cash! Do not come unprepared as the nearest atm is an uphill walk, and usually has a line. Oh and unlike almost all restaurants in Lisbon they do not charge for water, so you’ll leave unusually well hydrated!

This place does things right. They clearly are obsessive about the quality of their ingredients and they know how to put it all together. It is also not expensive, which together is why there is supposedly always a line after 6pm. We came at 10:30pm on a Saturday and we still had to wait about 40 minutes.
The tomato and bail sauce that came with one of the white fishes (something like «Polvo»?) was amazing. The veal was great and the green sauce it came with was like a Mexican salsa. The clams were good but very simple. The chocolate cake was like a very thin brownie. The olive oil they serve with the bread is phenomenal.

This was our first stop after landing in Lisbon, and featured some bites I still reminisce about. DANGIT, WHERE’S THAT TELEPORTER TO GET BACK TO RUA DAS FLORES?
Other reviews have discussed the waiting times common here. The wait might be well worth it, but another pro-​tip: go at off times. Late lunch? Early dinner? You won’t have a queue.
When we ate here there were 3 other tables occupied. Some delightful wine to start, as well as some teeny-​tiny flavourful Portuguese olives, bread and olive oil. The staff speak English expertly, and talked us through the black board specials in detail. Things like stuffed zucchini flowers, pork belly deep fried with a concentrated orange sauce and fish cakes.
We went for a fairly traditional Portuguese dish: a cold «salad» of flaked salt cod with pureed chickpeas and grated boiled egg. Sounds bizarre, tastes a delight. We also went for the «fish and chips: Portuguese style» which was perfectly presented and tempura-​fried. White fish, rings of onion and even some fried cherry tomatoes… all resting atop potato chips (house made) with an exceptionally spicy sauce. A different riff on the same component parts I can get at my local chippy back in London.
Perfect ambiance to while away some time with good friends, good wine, good food. Absolutely to be added to your list when you visit Lisbon.
Unilocal note: no reservations here.

L’une de mes meilleures adresses à Lisbonne. On y mange des tascas (tapas portugaises) de haut vol! La carte change tous les jours, les produits sont soigneusement sourcés. Tout est de saison. Ils vont jusqu’a avoir une huile d’olive exclusive pressée pour eux par un petit producteur proche de la famille du chef. Nous avons osé demander à la serveuse d’où venait cette huile d’olive sans pareil et nous sommes repartis avec une bouteille (7 €)! Les vins sont également à né pas rater, et même les cocktails. Tout est succulent. IN CON TOUR NA BLE!

This was actually my most disappointing meal in Lisbon. Was great having a waitress speaking perfect English, and the main of Veal Ribs was quite nice, but the overall experience was outshone by all the other restaurants I visited in Lisbon (none of which were on Unilocal,sadly, and I’m not even sure some of them had names around Alfama!), and none of them cost half as much. Not helped by the restaurant being busy and being made to stand outside in the heat rather than being able to stand inside (where there was clearly room at the back where one guy was sitting around on cushions getting drunk) or leave my name to come back a short while later got me off to a bad start, and the waitress was stand-​offish the rest of the meal.
The bread, olive and oil was good, but an exorbitant (for Portugal) € 3 per person and the entrée quite disappointing. Given that together they managed to cost more than my Veal Ribs, I’d’ve walked out a lot happier if I’d just purchased two sets of Veal Ribs.
Anyway, between all those and a beer, I know I went over the € 11 – 20 range, so I’m surprised to see this place sitting in the €€ category. Maybe prices have been going up recently with the place such a success.

Après un apéro bien arrosé, on se décide enfin à manger, je décide de choisir le resto, pour ça rien de tel que les locaux :)
À la banque je demande à une (très jolie) jeune femme the place to be pour manger de bon tapas, elle me répond sans hésiter Taberna da rua da flores. Elle me prévient quand même que je vais devoir poireauter. Je vais de ce pas au restau et là, une serveuse super sympa m’annonce que je peux compter une heure, une heure trente d’attente. On s’abreuve en attendant. Une bonne heure après, on y est. Et là c’est l’extase, le pain est divinement bon, les serveuses aux petits soins, les tapas un vrai délice ! Le vin très bon aussi (bon j’avoue je suis pas experte)
Conclusion: prochain voyage à Lisbonne, j’y retourne :)

Amazing
Our favorite meal in Lisbon. We arrived around. 20 min after they opened and the place was already packed. We literally grabbed the last open table that could seat the 3 of us.
We decided to share 3 – 4 things
The clams with chorizo, the ceviche (house speciality) a pork dish and mushrooms .
Everything was amazing the favorite of the table were the claims. Though at least 3 were unopened the broth was flavorful and full of nice sized bites of peppers, onions and chorizo. We all agreed that the plates, wine selection and service made this place a five star experience .
Pro tip — come as soon as they open or drop your name and linger around outside until they are ready to seat you .
Order the clams

Petit commentaire à chaud à la sortie de ce super établissement. Belle découverte du côté de Largo de Camões (Chiado). L’idée c’est un resto de tapas portugais. On vous conseillera de prendre 3 plats pour deux et ça a, en effet, été bien suffisant pour nous alors que nous avions faim. (On a cependant craqué le cheescake cerise par pure gourmandise).
Nous avons eu l’occasion de tester du poisson blanc (on né se souvient plus du nom :/​) mi-​cuit en sauce à base de tomates (excellent et très fin, alors que je suis fort difficile niveau poisson), des croquettes à base de poisson également (très bon) et finalement des côtes de porc caramélisés (excellent). Le tout accompagné d’un Porto blanc (très bon mais 5 € le verre !).
Tout comme dit dans d’autres avis, la carte change régulièrement (tous les jours ?) et vous aurez probablement d’autres plats proposés. Cependant je né peux que vous recommander de tester ce petit restaurant dont le service est également excellent.
Notez pour finir que l’établissement né comporte que quelques tables et qu’il y a souvent la file le soir (jusqu’à 1h d’attente) ! Astuce: venez avant 19h et vous trouverez une place bien plus facilement (les réservations né sont pas acceptées contrairement à ce qui est noté sur Unilocal).
2ème astuce: le restaurant n’accepte que le cash, il y a une banque sur la place en haut de la rue.

Un sans fautes pour ce tout petit Resto hyper sympa!
Nous entrons, les serveurs viennent directement nous présenter la carte des tapas. Ils parlent anglais, portugais, français et expliquent très bien chaque plat. En plus, ils nous conseillent sur les quantités: 3 plats pour 2 c’est juste ce qu’il faut.
Nous avons opté pour du poisson servi en fines tranches un peu dans le style carpaccio avec des chips maison et de la sauce tomate fraîche, puis nous avons commandé leur «pasteis». Nous pensions qu’ils révisitaient les fameux pasteis de bêlem mais ce sont en fait des sortes de croquettes fries avec un mix de poisson et de légumes à l’intérieur. Enfin, nous avons commandé des côtes de porc.
Ces trois petits plats étaient SU-​CCU-​LENTS. On peut croire qu’on aura pas assez avec 3 plats mais c’est très suffisant!
Nous avons accompagné nos plats d’un porto (et oui on né peut pas aller au Portugal sans goûter au Porto ;-)) et nous avons craqué le dessert. Étant donné que c’était le «mois de la cerise» au Portugal, nous avons opté pour un cheesecake aux cerises qui fondait en bouche!
Les seuls hic? Ils né prennent ni la carte ni les réservations. Du coup il faut parfois attendre 1h pour avoir une table! (Sauf si vous venez a 18−19h alors il devrait encore y avoir de la place)

Thanks Unilocal for making sure we have a killer meal even overseas!
This place is a find! Tiny but powerful-​it makes you feel like you are in Europe. We got there about 30 minutes before it closed and had to wait about 10 minutes.
They have bread, olives, and their olive oil that they sell at the table. It was a tasty starter. The menu is on a chalkboard that they bring over and explain. Our waitress and it seemed like all the waitresses spoke great English.
It’s a small plate restaurant and they suggested about 3 – 4 plates. We started with the mackerel ceviche. So good! Total Asian spin-​but so good with the seaweed. We had a tomato and mozzarella salad with pine nuts. It was good but it was totally shown up by the veal ribs.
Veal ribs you say? Yes. Say yes. Say yes in Portugese. Buy them out. They were crispy and juicy and came with peppercorns. I was in heaven.
They are cash only. Which we learned halfway through the meal. So we almost didn’t get dessert which would have been a grievous mistake. It looked so plain but my oh my! It was not in my mouth. Dense, fudgey, and with cinnamon. I guess we’ll wash dishes if we can’t pay.
Then the biggest surprise!!! We were under budget with our meal! We even had 3 glasses of wine.
Honestly their food is so good I feel like we go the meal for free with their prices. That or I have magic powers.

Wow! This place was pretty impressive, definitely my top eating spot in Lisbon!
We got there at around 19.15 on a Tuesday night and put our name in the book for a 45 – 60 min wait. We strolled down the hill to the Time Out Mercado da Ribiera and grabbed a beer from the do-​it-​yourself tap.
By the time we got back we had burned off enough hill climbing calories to feel guilt free ordering to our hearts content. :) And we did! Everything is served tapas style and our waiter recommended we order around 5 dishes. The place is tiny and seating is very limited but the wait is soooo worth it. How I wish we had discovered this place in our first night!
Food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful, the service flawless.

Le lieu est sympa, les serveurs moyens, le repas est effectivement original mais avec des mini portions. Prévoir 20 euros par personne si vous avez un peu faim. On vient de payer 44 euros pour 3 mais… Je retournerai bien de suite au restaurant !

Das Essen war super, frisch und lecker. Nicht typisch Portugiesisch, sondern sehr modern und interessant zubereitet. Preise sind angepasst an gängige europäische Kurse, insgesamt haben wir über 50 € bezahlt für 2 Gänge. Eigentlich waren wir zufrieden, bis wir nach knapp 45 Minuten gebeten wurden, Platz für die nächsten Gäste zu machen! Absolutes no-​go, zumal wir noch gegessen haben. Deswegen nur 3 Sterne…

Mais um daqueles lugares fantásticos em Lisboa :)
Foi muito difícil vir aqui a primeira vez… não porque não quisesse, muito pelo contrário, pois há muito que desejava vir aqui, mas sim, porque está sempre cheio e o espaço não é muito grande…
Como às vezes tenho uns horários estranhos (felizmente), consegui conhecer esta Taberna (uma Sr.ª Taberna) num almoço fora de horas.
Comecei por petiscar cá fora enquanto preparavam a mesa… assim que entrei fui logo informado do quais os pratos do dia, sorte a minha, Iscas era um dos pratos recomendados… Obviamente que foi a minha escolha :) Estavam DIVINAIS.
As sobremesas excelentes… a Mousse de Menta com frutos silvestres é muito interessante.
O atendimento é super simpático e atencioso, fazendo jus a tudo o resto, e a forma como apresentam os pratos é algo de extraordinário :)
Adoro espaços como este …

A truly phenomenal restaurant! You rock Babara!
This is my favorite place in Lisboa and I found it by chance thanks to Unilocal!I was looking for seafood, looked it up. And came across this little gem.
Came here around 4:30 pm. It’s in between late lunch and dinner. In between the lines out the door-​oh so crazy time. So in between, there was no one in the place when I first arrived. But within twenty minutes, this place filled up. And was packed for the day! Ahh.
Staffs — everyone is oh so nice, friendly and speak perfect english! Not that english speaking should be your prirority when exploring a foreign land but it helps immensely. And they are all so nice with amazing recommendations.
Menu– each waiter bright this giant chalk board with the menu of the day. Each waiter know what’s in each dishes. They will explain it all. The chalk board isn’t that tiny either. It’s as big as me if not bigger. They have about 15 – 20 items on there. I think I tried at least 90% of the menu. And I still didn’t get enough!
Drinks — wine wine and more wine. I love homemade wine. I often ask for house wine to get a taste of local wine. We had a good 2 – 3 bottles of their house red. It was nice, spicy and rich. Perfect to pair with all of their food. And also perfect for winter. yummmm!
Now lets talk food. This is Portugal. They are more diverse than most places. No really! Think of all your favorite dishes from around the world, and add little tasty magical touches on it. And viola!
They had about 20 items on the menu on my first visit here. I had 18! They are tapas style and most are small portion. Except the steak! That was big!
Best — they have a poke/​sashimi style dish with amazing fish, seaweeds and dried shrimps on it. It tasted wayyyyyyy better than it sounds. So refreshing, tasty and amazing.
Steak frites — this was super rich and super taste. Steak is so lean and prepared right.
Phở ca– this was my favorite. So good, I had it twice in one night. Think your regular phở but small. Add seafood, tomates and few portugese spices. Wow! It is amazing. So fresh, to tasty. So beyond great. Just a perfect amount of noodles and seafood.
I also had a few meat, chicken piri piri, seafood dishes I can’t recall. But all were so wonderfully amazing. Paired it all with their homemade red wine! Ahhhh it was magic. So magical, I even had a dessert to prolong this amazing dining experience. Such a beautiful setting, beautiful food and great service! Ahhhh!
It’s a must!!! A total must. Perfect combination of cute and deliciousness combined in a small and unassuming place. Definitely my favorite place in Lisboa!!! Definitely! Now all I need is another perfect meal here.

Es war an diesem Abend sehr kalt in Lissabon circa 0°. Leider war’s auch in diesem Restaurant nicht sehr warm und man musste seine Jacke anlassen. Wir hatten nicht reserviert und bekamen aber nach 5 Minuten einen Platz. Leider alles sehr eng und klein. Dann kommt die Karte in Form einer Tafel die die Bedienung vor einem hinstellt und erklärt. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Dort gibt es Tapas, wir hatten 3 Platten für 2 Personen ausreichen. Auch lecker Nachtisch. Der chesecake ist super! Leider wurde es und auch nach einem Kaffee nicht wärmer. Nach 2 Stunden waren wir etwas durchgefroren. Die miniheizkörper sind brennend heiß aber die Luft bleibt kühl. Schade, dass Essen war total lecker und die Bedienung sehr nett! Wenn es doch wärmer wäre. Insgesamt haben wir für alles nur 44 EUR bezahlt. Total preiswert! Wir kommen wieder, wenn es wärmer in Lissabon ist!

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I am a repeat eater. If I love it, I’ll be back. Sometimes in the same day. Sometimes in the same 2 – 3 days.
As for this place? This place is incredible. So good we went back TWICE! We went right at the start of our trip for dinner and then on our last day, we went again for lunch. Had we been around for dinner, I would have gone back. Yes. It was that good.
The service here is incredible. Even when they have a liiiiiiiiiiine out the door, they are kind and sweet and will bring you wine. Uhm. YES. AMAZING. And we waited 1.5 hours for dinner but it was so worth it! So yes, this means they don’t take reservations but it’s worth the wait– so don’t get impatient and wait it out!
The menu changes almost daily depending on what they get at the market and all of it is good. ALL OF IT. I know, there’s a lot of caps in this reviews and lots of !!! but the whole experience of eating here was incredible.
For dinner, we had the clams with bits of fatty bacon in a delicious broth. Their version of fish and chips and a side of vegetables. And dessert was their famous cheese, honey and almonds. All of this was incredible. I can’t repeat that enough!
For lunch a few days later, we got the squid ink pasta with clams and the salmon which was perfectly pink in the center! Again. it was incredible.
A bit of a tip, if you go early enough, like. 6.30 to 7PM, it’s pretty chill and you don’t need to wait. If you want dinner from 8 to 10PM, well, get ready to chill and take in the surrounds because everyone in Lisbon wants to eat here. OR you could do the lunch thing, again with a different daily lunch menu and no wait at all.
Oh! And the bread, olives and oil. You get it immediately when you sit down– if you don’t touch it, you won’t be charged. So it’s up to you if you want it or not! I can’t say enough good things but I’ll leave you with this, this place was one of my Lisbon highlights and I’ll be back!

Mais um achado graças ao Unilocal.
Recomendo fortemente. São tapas, mas bem servidas e de refinada elaboração, num local descontraído. Se prepare para ser atendido por um potencial amigo.

En voyage à Lisbonne en famille, pour une pause de midi, entre deux montées de cotes, ce petit restaurant fait bonne escale.
La cuisine y est traditionnelle, l’ambiance est un subtile mélange de typique et de contemporain.
Les tenanciers, sympathiques et toujours souriants tentent tant bien que mal de vous décrire les plats dans un français approximatif: les mimes sont au rendez vous !

Para beber um copo de bom vinho e petiscar, não consigo eleger melhor taberna e poucos serão certamente os pratinhos que ainda não provei.
De ambiente jovem e descontraído, é certamente uma das melhores e reinventadas tabernas lisboetas.
O atendimento é fantástico, os preços razoáveis, o que se pode pedir mais???

Este é sem dúvida um dos segredos mais bem guardados da zona do Chiado. A meia-​desfeita, um dos pratos de eleição, é inesquecível e os vários outros petiscos que são servidos não ficam atrás. Os empregados sabem aconselhar um bom vinho para acompanhar a refeição, o que é sempre importante. Pratos tipicamente portugueses num ambiente tipicamente lisboeta.

É tão engraçada esta Taberna da Rua das Flores. Situada numa antiga mercearia, pela informação veiculada no cimo da porta, este estabelecimento disponibiliza, a cada dia, novos petiscos, pratos de sopa e principais, nomeadamente de peixe e carne.
De pouca largura, mas com profundidade considerável, o espaço é, a meu ver, apesar de pequeno, agradável e tem uma bonita decoração. Reparei no chão, que parece ser o original, nas mesas com tampo de mármore, nos bancos e cadeiras de madeira, no quadro de ardósia com os menus disponíveis.
Acho os preços relativamente acessíveis, sendo que o único meio de pagamento possível é através de dinheiro vivo. Um inconveniente à moda antiga para os dias que correm, pelo que é importante ir precavido. Caso contrário, a opção que resta é ir um multibanco no Largo Camões que fica bem próximo.

Fui jantar à Taberna com uma amiga, a uma sexta-​feira. Chegámos cedo — e fizemos bem. Já só havia uma mesa disponível, de tão pequeno que o restaurante é. A decoração é bastante agradável; ao mesmo tempo eclética e vintage. Apenas existem duas salas, uma delas virada para a rua. Ficámos na outra, mais perto da cozinha e onde reparei existirem sofás improvisados, junto às escadas que davam para uma porta fechada. A Taberna aposta, sobretudo, em petiscos (variam entre, sensivelmente, 6 e 10 euros). Escolhemos o hambúrguer que chegou para ambas e até sobrou. Veio acompanhado por uma salada e batatas fritas; e, posteriormente, pedimos o queijo de cabra disponível na ementa, que surgiu envolvido por uma cobertura frita (desse prato não sobrou nem uma migalha). O espaço serve vinho a copo, para meu agrado, mas acabámos por beber um jarro de vinho branco da casa (5 euros). Demorámo-​nos na refeição e ninguém nos fez sentir menos convidadas. No final, apressámo-​nos a terminar o jantar apenas porque nos apercebemos que havia quem mais quisesse ali jantar. Fiquei bastante satisfeita e é um dos sítios onde tenciono voltar em breve.

Das tabernas actualizadas poderá ser aquela mais conhecida e por isso ter mesa é sempre difícil à partida. A primeira vez que fui com um pequeno grupo de amigos tivemos muita sorte. Serviço espectacular! A descrição de cada prato dava vontade de o pedir sem medos. Optámos pelo tataki de atum, pelas amêijoas à taberneiro e ovos com farinheira. Todas opções divinais… mas o melhor estava reservado para a sobremesa! Pedimos mousse de frutos vermelhos, mousse de chocolate, queijo com amêndoas e mel e cheesecake de maracujá…até hoje não consigo dizer qual q melhor! O melhor? Provar todas!

Uma taberna contemporânea… à moda antiga. Pode parecer estranho, mas, para mim, é a expressão que melhor se adequa à Taberna da Rua das Flores. O espaço é estreito, o chão é de mosaico e as mesas revestidas com tampo de mármore. Ou seja, somos imediatamente transportados para uma idealizada antiga taberna portuguesa.
Quando cheguei à porta da Taberna, só queria ser servido com um rico almoço, depois de ter andado um longo caminho desde a estação de comboios de Cais do Sodré até à Rua das Flores. Desejo feito, desejo servido. Os meus amigos já se tinham instalado numa mesa e pedido vários pratos para irmos «picando». Entre queijinhos e enchidos, pude provar sabores até àquela data desconhecidos, como iscas com elas, entremeada de leitão de coentrada e pataniscas de polvo. «Tudo nacional e de pequenos produtores», garantiu-​me o «taberneiro de serviço» André, um dos mentores deste negócio.
Para digerir todos estes pitéus, aconselho um típico vinho branco da casa. Contudo, para aqueles que gostam de cerveja, fiquem a saber que a Taberna serve a única cerveja artesanal de Portugal: a Sovina. Última dica: previne-​se e faça-​se acompanhar por uma carteira com, pelo menos, vinte euros. Taberna que é taberna não aceita cartões de crédito!
