Their wines are THEIR wines. Try their local Delicious green wine. A popular local dish I dig is steak served on french fries with an egg on top. It has a local name and I forget what it's called. They have fish served in various ways. Much of what I find overpriced. The dessert cart is whimsical. I dug the rice pudding. I hate to leave The Lapa Palace (my favorite hotel on earth) but I do dine here when venturing out. (One special note -getting the right table in this place is important. It can get very noisy here. The last time I was there, we were stuck by the front reception area and some very obnoxious uncontrolled child of an employee/manager was behind the desk would not stop yapping. It really ruined the ambience. I have nothing against kids having kids myself. FYI. But it cost this review 2 stars.)

We walked up without a reservation for an early Monday dinner. We had read many good things about…read morethis restaurant and it was close to our airbnb so we gave it a try. We were greeted coldly since we did not have a reservation. They reluctantly gave us a table on the patio. We expected it to be jammed given that reception but the place was never close to full all evening... Anyway, the rest of the experience was better since the food was so good. The charcuterie plate was one of the best we had during our two weeks in Portugal. The roast octopus and the shrimp were good. The puff pastry starter with a stew filling barely had any meat filling so that was disappointing. The highlight was the excellent fries - perfectly done - hot and crispy. We did pop inside and wow what a space - it is part of the opera house. Really stunning. But it was way too nice outside to eat inside...

We were happier still to find out that they offer an executive lunch for €16.50. There are a few choices for appetizer, and eight main courses from salad to steak. The price also includes water, bread, some cheese and spread - and before you scoff, be reminded that these are usually NOT free in restaurants in Portugal. For starters we tried the Caldo Verde, the famous cabbage and potato soup, and this one is definitely one of the best specimens we've ever tried. The broad beans with cilantro was light, refreshing and beautifully presented. Bacalhau à brás is one of the many ways you can enjoy codfish (which, incidentally, are not caught in Portuguese seas), and again the preparation here is a winner. The dish is done more on the creamy and moist side, with the modern twist of using little globs of spherified olive a la el Bulli. While there is a modern twist here and there, overall, the dishes do not depart far from how they have been prepared for generations. True to the Portuguese roots, they are also often presented without fancy dressing up: our croquette arrived rolling forlornly on a white plate. We sat in the courtyard as the weather was really nice, and also because everyone in the dining room donned business suits and our casual travel gear seemed out of place. Nonetheless, we received great service, genuinely friendly and not pretentious at all. A great introductory restaurant if you want to try out José Avillez.

I saw a previous review suggesting to make a reservation and I completely agree. You MUST make reservations to ensure a table. I emailed them 1-2 weeks before for a party of 8 and there are only about maybe 18-20 seats inside. You feel a sort of exclusivity when people without reservations show up at the front door (which you can't actually open from the outside) and are politely notified that they need to make a reservation. // Food They were out of a few items but we mostly got at least one of everything. Our group hasn't had Portuguese food before so nothing to compare there but overall tasted great and we tried vinho verde for the first time! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. // Ambiance Felt like you're eating inside someone's home kitchen.

I stayed at the Sheraton hotel for a few times in Lisbon but never bothered to go to the hotel…read morerestaurant - eh who goes to a hotel restaurant in such a beautiful city with so many restaurant options anyway? Well, tonight, I decided to spare myself the travel and come visit the restaurant. Panorama is on the 24th floor. With the stunning view, my slightly lonesome evening did not appear to be too lonesome after all. I order the Red Prawn and the suckling pig. Red Prawn is a Lisbon / Spain specialty, so I'd extremely highly recommend this if you have never had one. As for suckling pig, it's also a traditional Portuguese dish. Before I get started on the dishes, I must first compliment their bread. For those who have read my previous reviews, they will know, I DON'T EAT BREAD. I packed my then boyfriend now husband's toaster and put it in the attic when I moved in with him 7 years ago. With that said, this bread is amazing. Soft and buttery... and it was served with the lard from Jamon iberaco. OK super unhealthy but WOW! Next is the Red Prawns. They separated the red prawn into 3 parts (technically 4) - they made the bottom of the head crispy, they seared the prawn itself, they used the juice from the head to make a sauce and they used the meat in the head to make a "fake cherry tomato". The entire dish stimulated all the different parts of my taste buds. I am a huge red prawn fan and I have had it MANY times. I usually like it just - grilled. Basic as it is naturally amazing. But this was a true piece of art. Then I had the suckling pig. I think it was very good, they had a beautiful head of lettuce grilled with seafood flavours (a shrimp sauce) with crisps and shredded pork. Mixed with the pork was a piece of crunchy skin crispified to perfection. The dish was absolutely exquisite. Since I was a bit tired tonight, I ended with just a mint tea. They gave me some complimentary sweets, which was the perfect ending to a beautiful meal. I can imagine the tasting dishes would be amazing as well, but I simply did not have the room. Expect to spend 50(a la carte or small tasting menu)-80 (big tasting menu) Euros pp without the alcohol - for such quality, and Michelin level food, I think it's very reasonable. Hope you'll give it a chance.
