I recommend you do the same as this place tends to get pretty packed (and I came on a Tuesday night)! 1. Ambiance - amazing ambiance; clean spot, live music 2.

This is a…read morelarge house of many darkly painted rooms that were not at all dim due to some bright lighting, no real artwork. Books & vintage typewriters. Lots of space but many of the 2 seater table face in a direction of no view of the room. Can I mention the "walk" here was monumental ? Insanely steep and up up up. A Bolt back was reasonable enough not to miss this place if you are not close by. We walked from near the Baixa/Chiado station. The food, absolutely superb. Exactly what I would expect what a Michelin Star venues would serve. Service exceptional. I think that the highly regarded Roasted Eggplant with Miso Caramel & Pistachio was one of the best dishes of my life, and I am not always a fan of eggplant. This was a firm block of roasted eggplant with a volcano like coating of this insanely crazy umami-sweet-decadent sauce. Honestly, if we lived here I would frequent just for this as an entrée and not share it one bit. For mains, we shared the duck leg confit, barley & mushrooms and the black pork neck, shrimp, white beans and coconut milk. Dessert for Lee was the eucalyptus and also the basil mint ice creams and mine, which makes me giddy, was a chocolate soup (was like a think pudding) with peanuts and passion fruit daquiri mousse..topped with pop rocks. The food here is a work of art without being fussed over, imaginative and well executed. Unsure how anyone could fault one aspect at all other than the uncozy atmosphere in the rooms without a fabric chair or couch. Highly recommended !!

However, what turned me off was seeing a suggested tip percentage printed on the receipt, something quite uncommon in Europe. To add to that, our waiter also mentioned that the tip wasn't included in the bill and encouraged us to add one. That felt a bit pushy, especially since service charges and VAT are typically already included in European dining bills. As an American, I understand tipping culture very well and always leave a good tip for good service but suggesting or prompting it takes away from the relaxed European dining experience. Overall, still a lovely restaurant with great food but I'd appreciate a more genuine approach when it comes to tipping. I would've given it a 5 star rating but due to this experience, I give them a 3.

I greatly appreciated the owner's passion too, going so far as to basically force me to order a non-standard cut of pork to encourage the mission and then making a special lactose-free version to accomodate my increasingly upsetting dairy sensitivity. This significantly improved my experience as the tongue was expertly cooked and they had the opportunity to show that off. (Bread and Butter: A) - This is one of those rare moments where I was actually excited about the cover since their butter is a pork- based butter without any actual butter and more likely some component of fat and marrow which added an intriguing decadence and uniqueness to the bread. The pickled carrots offered a pleasant refreshingness to open the palette as well. (Chorizo Pancake: A) - Soft and tender pancake with great elements of expertise keeping the hearty intensity of the chorizo while lightening it up with herbs, pickled onion, mayo, and a fluffy egg base. (Pig Tongue: A) - Super impressed with this dish from the soft pig tongue to the impressively tender pickled cauliflower that added a vbeautifully refreshing acidity. The diced potatoes added texture and heartiness, and I appreciated that this was thoughfully restrained.

This was one of the best meals I had in Portugal. The tuna tartare was a true stand out. The cod was perfectly cooked. The bread and butter, while seemingly simple had this unforgettable truffle taste. And the corn bread, yum! I can't deny eating the entire basket of bread... Ended with the hazelnut dessert because it's clearly a must. The exploding olives weren't for me but that's my only "complaint." Portions were huge. So I would suggest sharing multiple dishes with someone else. A delicious meal that I am still thinking of days later.

This is a place that not only cares about curating a nice atmosphere, but goes above and beyond in service and food quality. It'll be one of the places I return to if I'm ever back in Lisboa.

We thoroughly enjoyed the wine (even if I momentarily believed our server when he joked it cost €600 ). Speaking of service, the staff was warm, attentive, and added to the overall experience without ever feeling overbearing. As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised by the options. The vegetable soup and grilled pepper with tofu and cheese were both thoughtful and genuinely flavorful - not an afterthought. My husband had the duck and loved it! This is one of those places that gets it right across the board. Absolutely worth a visit!!!

The octopus was pretty fantastic. It's not a full one - but rather three reddish tentacles splayed out on the plate. Straying from the often-seen rubberiness, this tastes like biting through lobster. It offers up little resistance before yielding the perfectly cooked meat. The freshness remains evident as well. It were the sides that I was more mixed on. the baked potatoes are pretty fluffy, but three baked potatoes are an odd choice for a side. And the cornbread mixed with beans and cabbage is just...weird. I don't get the theory behind it. It's just as unappetizing as the description makes it out to be. I also didn't like the dessert. This did have a cool presentation, with the server coming and lighting the brandy poured on it on fire, but the actual cake itself had a weird slightly-orange, alcoholic taste that wasn't for me. The ice cream on top was the only good part. One positive is I was given the largest pour of red wine that I've seen when I asked for a glass. This ended up pretty expensive, at around 75 euros for two people. Portions were pretty good though Overall, the octopus was really good, but everything else was below average. 7.5/10

Just a local wine and a bottled beer but standard and good. I ordered a pork chop with butter beans with bacon side. She ordered a sweet potato ravioli with a cream sauce and mushrooms. We shared a bit. My pork chop was moderate size but very tasty and served with sea salt on side. Slightly overcooked. The beans were absolutely fabulous! Her ravioli was very good and a fantastic vegetarian option! I especially liked the mushrooms and the cream sauce with crushed pistachio was well balanced.

The main disappointment was that the service was just HORRIBLE. There would be times we felt neglected and there would be long delays between courses that really interrupted the flow of the evening. It was so bad that we were able to notice that our dishes slowed down so much that other tables (at least 2) that had showed up 30-45 minutes after us had caught up to our course. It was hard to even flag people down. The food was delicious but didn't have that wow factor. My partner is vegetarian and her meal was simply the same dish just substituted with a vegetarian food type so like replacing meat with soy protein or vegetables. It felt like such a cut and paste type of action that her dishes were quite underwhelming and left a lot to be desired. The restaurant does have a beautiful spacious space that overlooks the park but that's not enough to cover the underwhelming food and terrible service. It felt like they were just doing the bare minimum and riding on the success of past years and I would be honestly surprised if they keep the star with this kind of experience. For reference, we had the typical 11 experience menu.
