Hi kja,
I think maybe that's it. I had no idea about the new menu.
What were your favorite dining spots in Lisbon? We need to get back very soon.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed a meal at Clube de Fado, but honestly, I would not recommend any of the places I dined while in Lisbon. Fortunately, while I enjoy a nice meal, my travel goals are much broader than food -- and there is a great deal to enjoy in Lisbon, IMO!

Yes, Cervejaria Ramiro has definitely become much more of a tourist scene. One can now easily make bookings online, and these days, foreign diners are often seated in the now enclosed downstairs terrace, as we were last year, rather than escorted upstairs. We were surrounded primarily by non-Portuguese speaking diners, and the wait staff on the enclosed porch spoke English well.
Just be aware that your English-speaking server, at least ours did, will encourage you to add a tip to the final bill ("service not included") on his hand held tablet at the end of your meal, which is totally unnecessary, as service is included. We declined and instead left a small tip in cash. It has "evolved" since the day it was featured in the Anthony Bourdain episode of No Reservations. It's decidedly well on the tourist map.
That said, the shrimp in garlic, the clams (amệijoas a Bulhão Pato) and the carabineros (Scarlett prawns) and the luscious buttered bread served to dip up the garlic sauce are totally addictive. Crustaceans only here. No fin fish. Just a beef sandwich, a prego, that locals order for dessert.
