I've heard the dim sum should be great but I was here for the roasted duck, one of my favorites off all times. I did try one of the rice rolls with beef which came steaming hot and was okay, I missed a bit more spices in it. About the duck, it did remind me of the Cantonese duck I've eaten back in Macao and Hong Kong and it had the gorgeous sauce. Also some nice vegetables were waiting under it, glazed in that beauty of a sauce. The skin was crispy, the pieces that had fat did taste gorgeous but the drumsticks were a bit dry. Well, in the end I've enjoyed it so much as I cannot travel to Macao in these covid times. Speaking of covid, the measures against it are very good, wearing a mask until the table is mandatory. The waiters all wear them and they disinfect the tables after using. Did I mention the tea is superb and helps well with the digestion afterwards? Give it a try...

We had reservations for a party of 2 on a Saturday at 6 PM. When you check in, they give you a slip of paper which has a QR code on it for you to access the menu later, and we were promptly seated upstairs. The menu is conveniently available in several languages (you select your language at the bottom of the main menu page). We were at a long table for 6, with us sitting on the inside and another couple sitting at the end, and the table settings in between us were cleared, so it didn't feel like we were on top of one another. I appreciated that the server gave recommendations that would be good for two people. We went with most of his recommendations (shrimps on garlic sauce (it's labeled as spicy, but it's really not), clams on garlic, tiger prawns grilled on bed of salt) and added some of our own (razor clams and lobster roll). All the seafood tasted fresh, bursting with flavor from the buttery garlic sauce, which we sopped up with garlic bread. The bread is brought to the table when you first get seated. It's not free, which I was aware of, but I knew it would go well with the dishes we ordered. The razor clams were juicy and sweet. The lobster roll was good, but not something I would order again when there's so many other fantastic seafood choices. I usually don't drink beer, but felt that it was appropriate since we were at a cervejaria, so I ordered a bottle of Sagres Bohemia. It went perfectly with the seafood. My SO, who doesn't drink alcohol, got peach iced tea. I wanted to get the prego sandwich for dessert, but my SO was pretty much full at that point, so I ordered a tarte whisky and a cappuccino for myself. The whisky ice cream layer in the tarte was nice and refreshing. I was shocked when we got the bill and it came out to less than 50€. This meal would have cost so much more in the US. You pay via tablet at the end and I left a generous tip in appreciation of the wonderful meal and service. They get you in and out of there quick, but it never felt like we were being rushed out. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for some fresh, delicious seafood in Lisbon.

We reserved a terrace table but were seated at the farthest corner instead. With plenty of open tables, the placement felt discriminatory and made us uncomfortable. Moving past that... Drinks: The Mount Fuji cocktail was delicious. Appetizers & entrees: We ordered a large variety for three people as we couldn't decide: Chamuca de Frango, Long Bao Pork, Bao Frango Bang Bang, Shrimp Tempura, Siew Mai Wonton, Salmon Hosomaki, Wonton Soup, Char Siu Pork Bao, Biryani, Peixe do Dia, and Jasmine Rice. Presentation was generally beautiful. On average the food rated 3-4 stars, though a couple of dishes were closer to 2 stars. The salmon hosomaki was flavorless and disappointing; the biryani was dry and lacked enough lamb when mixed; the baos were just okay. The shrimp tempura and the fish of the day were the standouts. Dessert: Baba Riniceronte, mango sticky rice, and Avela biscuit were all enjoyable, though the mango wasn't very sweet (possibly out of season). Service: Table service was ok but a bit inattentive. Staff only returned when bringing food and didn't check in much to see if we were enjoying our meal. Given we spent over 100 EUR pp, I expected more attentive service. This was an acceptable one-time experience, I've been to many mid-to-high-end Asian restaurants and this did not meet my expectations, I would not return.

Honestly, the best Asian fusion restaurant I've ever been to and I'm obsessed with and discerning about all Asian cuisine. On my next trip to Portugal, I will go out of my way to dine here again. We went with recommendations from fellow yelpers and were wowed by the flavors. We ordered the shrimp dim sum app, spring rolls, beef noodle soup (similar to Pho), beef chow mein, green curry w/ chicken, fried bok Choi (so good!), and the Peking duck (perfection!).

One of the most interesting meals I have had the pleasure of having in Lisboa (or maybe anywhere in…read morethe world). When you find Estrela Da Bica, it is on a side street right off of the steep street with the trolley that is famous. There was a small open door with a sign asking us to wait outside to be seated (so as not to crowd the restaurant). Make sure to follow these instructions, as my family and I watched some other unaware tourists walk straight in, grab a menu, and promptly get asked to go wait outside. After a minute or two, we were seated by one of the staff (possibly the owner?). The staff was all women, and they seemed very proud of their restaurant. The decor was quirky and very homey, with various mismatched tables and chairs. We were informed that the food is all meant to be shareable plates, and we started off by just getting some sourdough bread with dips. There were multiple different kinds of bread and the dips kept them interesting, one being a fish spread. One of the appetizers caught my eye instantly, the roasted pork belly, banana mash, and pico de gallo. I usually like banana flavors mixed with savory (I've tried weird combinations like a peanut butter banana hamburger before) so I knew I had to try this. The outside of the pork belly was perfectly crunchy while the inside was tender. As I expected (but I would guess most people wouldn't), the banana mash complimented the rich savory flavors of the pork belly. For the mains, we ordered the pink marlin tataki with pineapple chutney, potato and rosemary sourdough pizzeta, roasted Hokkaido with butternut mash, dried nuts sand, and house kimchi, the confit codfish cheeks with poached egg and crispy chips, and the pork cheek ravioli with mustard sauce and buckwheat popcorn. They were all intriguing flavor combinations that I would never have thought of in my life!! What stood out to me was the confit codfish cheeks with poached egg and the crispy potato chips. We had tried other codfish dishes around Lisboa and had noticed that it was the most common fish there. But this combination was luscious, with the soft egg coating the fish and the chips adding a nice crunch to every bite. It was like a fish carbonara in a way with the poached egg providing a sauce. This was the standout dish to me, representing what Lisboa is all about while not being afraid to take risks. All of the other dishes were interesting too, and each left me with new ideas of combinations that I would have never thought of. After the dinner was so impressive, we were enticed by the dessert. We got the chocolate mousse and basque cheesecake with guava jam. These were Like I said, the staff seemed proud of their establishment and rightfully so. Estrella da Bica may be a small, simple, establishment, but they are not afraid to push the boundaries of gastronomy. This was the kind of restaurant that flies under the radar, but I consider myself lucky to have stumbled upon it.
