The great news is that with Mini Bar, you get the best of both worlds - the creative menu without needing a babysitter. Mini Bar is kid friendly, and the server we had was so awesome with our kids that I can't sing his praise though. We opted for the Tasting Menu, and ordered a pizza and fries for the kids. The food arrived pretty quick, until we hit the mains, then it slowed down a bit too much for my liking. The space is pretty interesting, and there's plenty of room, so you don't feel squished in. All in all though, great experience. Happy that I got to have my meal without having to ditch my kids with a stranger in a foreign country.

Our waiter for both nights was named Diogo that was very attentive, laid back and just very cool. His professionalism made us all feel comfortable as we drank and probably were a bit loud haha! The bar owner, Miguel, was also very nice too. He kept coming around to make sure we were taken care of. This is a must stop in Lisboa if you want a great cozy bar experience. They all speak English and they take credit cards.

My taste buds got together and learned Portuguese they could write a thank you note to the kitchen staff. I took photos of everything including the signature cocktail and made my social media friends look at them. This place rocks! (Literally. They have a rocking playlist and live music at night.) No matter your appetite, this place has snacks and full entrees that span a range of palate-pleasers. You cannot go wrong here ordering something out of the ordinary or sticking with what's familiar. The staff are always in motion serving patrons and checking on tables. They seem very happy working together as a team. Their smiles were not just for guests but for each other. Comfortable indoor seating as well as relaxing outdoor seating to accommodate any size of party. Happy Hour specials and 2-for-1 pizza Sundays after 7 PM make this a great spot for anyone on a budget. They do not skimp on creativity or flavor. Treat yourself and try them early in your stay. You'll be better off than me with the option of returning here once more before you have to go back home. Manga!

Didn't have much expectations thinking it was gonna be a tourist trap but I was wrong everything came out to be exceptional. My group got 2 pitchers of their sangria and it was delicious and tasty. Their seafood is pretty fresh and everything came out to be very flavorful. I personally enjoyed the camarones y cahuil which is shrimped drenched in garlic and butter. Only mistake we had was the pizza and ceviche but nonetheless everything else was delicious. Big plus is the atmosphere. Music was on point and the vibe was what we needed after a long day. Would recommend this place if your in the area. Take note they have happy hour for drinks and their cocktails are exceptional.

Their pisco sours were the smoothest piscos I've ever had -- definitely order one (or two). We ordered their recommended salmon & dragon fruit ceviche, the anticuchos (like skewers) of black pork belly and roasted octopus, and lobster & shrimp causitas (4 pieces) which were kind of like a single bite nigiri but over a potato biscuit. All the dishes were delicious and drool worthy. Seafood was very fresh and tasty. Not the cheapest meal in Portugal, but we thoroughly enjoyed it and would come back. Staff was super friendly and kindly explained the different parts of the menu so we could better decide what to order. The interior is bright, not too many seats, but there's a giant octopus hanging from the ceiling. Definitely recommend giving them a try if you're in the area and like seafood!

Next was Pastéis de bacalhau or codfish cakes which were the best that we had in Lisbon. Next up, Octopus salad, which I did not expect to like, but it had a great flavor of olive oil and white wine vinegar and I would order again for sure! And finally Peixinhos da horta, or fish of the garden. Which turns out to be tempura fried green beans. They were also very good.

I did see a small sign with "Bairrices", so I went inside and followed the path. To get to the restaurant, I had to go through a door that led outside. Then the restaurant was on the right. I opted to sit outside and the server explained the menu to us in English. Basically you get served all 22 dishes plus dessert (see photo with yellow paper) for 22€ per person. If you end up liking any of them, you can order them again - as many as you want. Some dishes were cold, some were hot. The fried squid was my favorite. There weren't any that I hated, but like the server said, everyone's preference is different. There will be some dishes that you don't like. I never felt pressured to finish everything that was served. It was like a small (and affordable) tasting menu! Drinks cost separate. I highly recommend the sangria! For only 3€ you get a liter. It was so delicious, but also on the sweet side. The server was so nice and spoke English, which was very helpful. There is a small restroom next to the register inside the restaurant. I was able to pay with Apple Pay. They have free WiFi!
