Lisbon Cafe

"Generous portions. Was there for birthday party so we had a private party and dinner. All included with every course decent. Keep this place in mind if you are planning an adults party."

"As many state, a hidden gem for sure. Service, good quality and atmosphere is nothing but the best. A few divisions in the restaurant provides just the right atmosphere based on the occasion. Will surely be back."

"Mineola is home to many who trace their roots to Portugal. Lisbon Cafe transports you to vacation mode immediately. A very pleasant maitre'd greets you with the cocktail menu. They bring a yummy bread basket to you while perusing their extensive menu and daily specials. We enjoyed a sublime order of steamed class. Fresh, savory broth of garlic, wine, and herbs bathe baby clams urging you to dip your bread to further satiate your palette. For dinner, we ordered the grilled rack of lamb cooked to perfection nestled atop a bed of creamy mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. Additionally, one ordered a seafood medley with salmon. This, too, brought rave reviews. And despite our full belly, we managed to indulge in a decadent slice of the smoothest rich chocolate cake and creamy Creme Brule. And let us not forget the excellent live entertainment on Friday evenings. It added a festive atmosphere."

"Best Portuguese restaurant in NY. Located in the heart of Mineola. Phenomenal experience! Delicious top notch food, waiters are very attentive, and super nice atmosphere. I Have been here multiple times, and every time is an amazing experience all around. I always take my out of town guests here, as the food is always superb. Definitely a lifetime customer!"

"I've grown up around a lot of Portuguese food. I'm no expert, but I do have a fond appreciation for the cuisine. My pallet consists of home made Portuguese food and very rarely goes out and seeks restaurants to eat at. I found this place by accident while looking for places to go and try. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an introduction to Portuguese food. It's got a great homey atmosphere, brick walls and wood beams. you'll forget you're in NY once you step into the restaurant. The food, especially the entrees are on the pricey side. But it's well worth it. The octopus we had was extremely tender. The Cod was flavorful and smooth. The potato and kale soup, an absolute classic and will warm you up. We went on a day where a few families were celebrating. Service was rather slow because of this. But I wish they had some waiters focus solely on walk-ins while the others focus on the parties."
