We had a great dining experience at Lisboa à Noite ("Lisbon at Night"). We found this restaurant…read morethrough TheFork app, as part of TheFork's Insider program. The restaurant was lovely -- sleek, modern, minimalist, with elements of traditional Portuguese architecture integrated throughout. The softly playing background music was English light rock on repeat. Dishes we ordered included: - "Sardinha assada em tosta de broa de milho e salada montanheira" ("Fresh grilled sardine fillet on toasted cornbread and mountain salad") €16.90. De-boned, but not my thing. - "Ostras nacionais ao natural" (Oysters). €22.90. Great. - "Arroz de marisco com lagosta, camarão-tigre, gambas e amêijoas do Algarve (2 pessoas)" Seafood Rice for 2 people with lobster, tiger shrimp, prawns, and clams. €79.90. Great. This came in a covered pot hat the waiter portioned and served. There were about four servings total from this dish. Each serving had a good amount of lobster, shrimp, and clams. My sparkling green wine paired nicely with this dish. Service was impeccable. For example, they: - placed a stool beside my chair to separately seat my phone and camera. - cleaned the tablecloth when my companion stained it with red wine. - held my backpack in a secure room while we ate. I thought the restaurant was a little pushy on dessert. We weren't thinking of dessert because our tourist diet already had too much sugar from too many Pastéis de Nata, but we relented. The desserts, while tasty and sweet, were not memorable. Complementary Wi-Fi is available.

From the moment you walk through the door until that giant desert display comes around you will be lavished with luxury, great food and service. Our party was five people and we all enjoyed our dishes. While we all were a little under dressed I would suggest at least business casual. The restaurant is set in an old building with very nice architecture. I would certainly come back again

It's kinda strange but the corner restaurant next to them has outdoor tables on either side of them. Just look for the dark green tablecloths to know you are in the right place. Having our fill of seafood on this trip, my wife was looking for chicken and found it here. I went with a francesinha sandwich to change things up. The grilled chicken was well prepared with a wine reduction sauce and came with roasted vegetables as well. Never seem to get enough vegetables when traveling but this dish filled my wife's daily quota. This was my first try at this traditional Portuguese sandwich and I liked it. It was served drowning in a sauce but I managed to sop it all up by the end. Our server was excellent all evening and keep us taken care of. He was a bit of a talker which played well with my wife's chattiness. Overall a straight forward simple dinner that was quite enjoyable.

Bebedouro Wine Bar was recommended by Lonely Planet Lisbon. Luckily, it was next to our hotel and…read morequality wine was just steps away. The have a big outdoor seating space on the street that is closed off to cars. They also have small indoor seating, but I recommend the outdoor space. They even provide blankets in case you feel chilly. Their 15 Euros wine flights came with 3 large glasses of wine. In America we would only be able to get small sample wine flights for that same amount of money. Not to mention, the wine was top quality and worth far more. Now, the food... let's talk about food... Ahhh-may-zzzzing!! The Chorizo & Sheep Cheese Bruschetta paired perfectly with the wines. I could have eaten that every day and all day long! The Roasted Tuna and Hummus appetizer had great flavor, but it did not come with bread or crackets. I found that a little strange... I mean, what do you put the tuna and hummus on? I guess you eat it with a fork as is? NO. Order bread on the side. Just because. Our server was very friendly, was very knowledgeable about the wines and the regions, and spoke at least 3 languages that I know of (Portuguese, Spanish, and English). Unfortunately, the service was very slow, but this seems to be common in Lisbon. We had to wait a while for our Wine Flight then even longer for the 1st appetizer to arrive. We were in no rush and just enjoying the evening, so we don't mind the wait as long as the server is friendly and the wine/food is delicious (which they were). I would have liked to give 5 stars, but the service was very slow.

He will talk to you for hours and teach you about food and wine and culture and talk about the history of food and how it came to be in Portugal. I loved it. I learned so much. I aspire, as an American, to learn from and look up to other cultures. I feel very honored to have dined in a restaurant managed by him on our trip to Portugal. I'm going to recommend to our travel coordinator to add this restaurant to the Google map recommendations list because more people need to go to this place - they need more tables, more space, because I'm convinced this is such a hidden gem that should be exposed to the masses to enjoy! We visited several wineries and this restaurant had the best wine - bar none! The fish, a fish I hadn't tried before, was deliciously seasoned, falls apart with the fork, the creamy rice was just divine. I normally will never eat little cherry/grape tomatoes - ever - but the perfect bite of fish, creamy rice, and a tomato was... perfection. The menu is deeply curated; flavors - textures - wines that make sense. You can tell Frederico what you normally like and he 100% knows what wines he has that you will love. The tomato, orange, ham, salad, was absolutely balanced and delicious. I'm so grateful that our first trip to Portugal we got to meet Frederico and dine with these wonderful people who love food and wine as much as us. I'll never forget it as long as I live. You will not be disappointed. Promise.

We also asked for a recommendation for cheese. The waitress asked (in fluent English) mild or strong , and we went with strong. She suggested the Azeitao cheese, which was a soft cheese served in the rind with bread and a spoon. We opted for water instead of port based on the heat outside. The chorizo was amazing- we watched them grill it over an open flame and it arrived cracking and juicy. The cheese was great as well. It was as advertised and great with bread. The crowd seemed very international, but everyone was having a great time with a glass or bottle of wine and some snacks. Would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a drink or snack as they pass through the neighborhood. I do believe it is cash only.
