About this place Aura

Aura is a restaurant, café and lounge under the arcades of Terreiro do Paço (Praça do Comércio), Lisbon's big riverside square. It's gay-friendly, not a gay venue. The kitchen does contemporary takes on Portuguese dishes, and the format is loose: you can sit down for a full dinner, or just have coffee or wine at the outdoor tables facing the square. The square location means tourist prices, and a lot of foot traffic around the terrace. Google reviews average 4.0 from about 500. Bairro Alto and Príncipe Real, where most of Lisbon's gay bars are, are a 15-20 minute uphill walk or a short tram or taxi ride.

Worst service I've ever experienced in Portugal!

A charming restaurant with a somewhat surprising and well-thought-out decor, where I had lunch today with my wife and our grandson. The menu didn't have the abundance of options found in many restaurants that, in the Portuguese style, present gigantic lists where we get lost, and certainly in the kitchen as well, but everything we ordered was well-prepared and tastefully presented. Quality wine by the glass. The service was kind, efficient, and friendly, provided by Teresa, assisted as needed by Carlos (I'm not sure of his name). We will most likely return.
