    Quail rice
    Dilys C.

    Tried to come here the night before but couldn't get a seat. However we came here at an odd hour for lunch and luckily was able to get a seat. Favourites: tartare, wagyu toast, shrimp and basque cheesecake Worth trying: quail rice High quality food, and great service. Knocked one star because the quail rice was too salty. Glad that we got to try Oficio before we ended our trip

    Service was excellent, food was just ok. My partner made a reservation here during our trip to Lisbon after reading about it recommended so many times. We decided to be extra adventurous and unfortunately weren't too wowed. We started with the sea vegetable taco and crispy pork crackling, smoked eel, and shrimp. We thought both of these dishes mostly just tasted salty, and weren't particularly impressed with the flavors. Nothing bad per se, just fine. We got the garlic prawns next which were excellent. Our favorite dish of the night. I love the texture of the raw shrimp and thought the flavor was great here. We had a bit of longing looking at everyone with their tartare plates, so we decided to try the veal and marrow tartare. My partner is not a huge raw meat person but I love bone marrow so we had to give it a shot. While I liked this dish, it wasn't my favorite. My partner said he could tell it was a well done dish, it also wasn't his cup of tea. Give me all bone marrow though and I would be raving. The seafood spaghetti with Parmesan and pine nuts was not a love either. The spaghetti tasted too salty and the dish needed the crispy texture and fatty flavor of the pine nuts to be more palatable. Next we got the cuttlefish and cuttlefish. I'm a huge fan of cuttlefish and order anything with squid ink. Again, this one was just fine. Didn't do it for me! Lastly, we got the quail vinegar rice. We were told the flavor is excellent but quite strong. We were definitely warned about the strong flavor, but unfortunately didn't find the dish to be too appealing. After such an adventurous meal, we opted for a tried and true for dessert - the basque cheesecake. This hit the spot! Very creamy and enjoyable, and the added salt on the side to sprinkle on each bite was a lovely touch. While the food overall didn't particularly wow us, the service was truly exceptional. At times the kitchen got backed up and there was not always impeccable timing, but our server seemed to always notice and check in on us. It also felt like the servers were reading our minds! They were very on top of it and it's a very well run ship. We're so glad we stopped in to try while we were visiting, and while it wasn't a huge hit food-wise for us, hopefully we are in the minority!

    This is a very innovative and creative restaurant. The service was excellent. The interior is modern. I sat next to the window facing the back terrace. My favorite was the marrow tartare. The flavors are very complex for this dish. I got the raw taco was good. It reminded me of the sea. The cod & cod was whatever. I would still recommend to try. It is on the pricier side.

    Well, now that's a Michelin Star Restaurant worthy going. In Lisbon, I learned, many things are going up and down all the time. Walking up a hill and down a hill ... no exception with food. But this place has it all. Great service, great presentation, great food, great taste, all's great. Would go again.

    One of currently only 5 Bib Gourmand restaurants in Lisbon, this was one that we had booked a few weeks in advance. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and our reservation was for indoors. Meal ended up about 50-60 euros per person, one of the more expensive ones here. The menu offers a variety of different kinds of foods, but I would describe each dish as a small eat, most of them can be finished in 1-2 bites, including the appetizers as well as the main courses. Most are creative, with some traditional ingredients. And although our servers were nice, it was a bit slow. I had a white wine and a pumpkin cheese whiskey which was an interesting mix but does indeed taste well altogether, for a very reasonable price of about 4 euros. My friend had a lemonade, but for some reason was made as if it didnt have any sugar at all? Had to be re-done. The first appetizer ribeye toast was a good start, with caviar and soft juicy meat contrasted by a crunchy, flavor-absorbing carb. One of my favorites was the veal and marrow tartare, our second appetizer. The marrow was obviously the juiciest tastiest part, and must be eaten together with the veal (which may be a bit more bland if eaten by itself). The entire dish is lathered in oils and spices and makes for a very interesting experience. Garlic prawns were not bad too, I think this is one of the more popular dishes here. The presentation is nice with some leaves of green and some purple flowers. I love that the garlic flavor is strong, and it must've taken forever to get each prawn peeled the way it is with how tiny it is. Pleurotus oyster mushroom with chicken caramel was a miss for me. Some pieces are bigger than others which became a problem in the texture and taste. It's going for a chicken flavor, but some of the smaller pieces were overcooked/burnt and had no moisture, so it tasted like bitter dry charcoal with MSG salt. The thicker juicier pieces did have better taste. Monkfish was also a miss. There's 5 pieces, with a circular piece of liver in the middle, all in a circle of pecan sauce and maybe some basil? The fish is fresh but I don't think this combination is the best that I've had. The pecan sauce is grainy, salty, and thick compared to the flaky light and slightly sweet meat of the monkfish. Felt similar to eating lobster meat with salted peanut butter. Ended well with dessert. Flan was not too sweet, had an alcoholic (bourbon or whiskey?) mix in the sauce that contrasted well with the sweet flan. Biscuit cake also had good mixture of flavors that reminds me of a moist tiramisu. TLDR: Appetizers and desserts were solid, but the main courses could be better. Don't think I would be coming back anytime soon.

    5 stars overall because of a very creative chef as well as an extremely friendly waitress. Most of the dishes wowed us and were extremely good. The only two dishes that we did not like much were the cod tongues (and I don't think that will be surprising to most people) as well and he cod entree. 3 top picks were the veal tartare, the tuna taco/wrap, the leeks. But honestly everything was very good. I would highly recommend

    Pumpkin cocktails

    My girlfriend and I went to Oficio as a weekday dinner on vacation. We found the place through the Michelin guide... it was exceptional!!! The whiskey pumpkin cheese cocktail is to die for! What an experience! The service was extraordinary as well - ask your server for recommendations and you will not be disappointed. Did I mention the cocktail? Get it. Get the skate fish. Get the flan. Get the whole menu, actually. It's all so so so good! The place itself is cozy, with dimmed lights, doesn't feel super private, but is nice. Good luck finding the bathroom entrance (it's a hidden panel in a wall, pretty neat).

    My husband and I only had 1 full day in Lisbon and we decided to visit Oficio for lunch. Making a reservation online via TheFork was easy. The location is great in Bairro Alto, we did some shopping nearby before heading over. The inside of this place is SO chic, it's like a fancy modern cave LOL not sure how else to describe it. The menu is definitely unique, so we were happy to have our server give his recommendations. We ordered 4 small dishes & 1 main to share and it was a good amount for 2 of us. - Tomato salad: This was such a beautiful & simple dish that just WORKED. After this dish my husband and I are convinced we need to peel all of our tomatoes before we eat them raw haha - Garlic shrimp: Definitely a unique interpretation of an iconic Portuguese dish. The shrimp is served almost like sashimi - it was tasty but maybe too fancy for our tastes? - Veal & marrow tartare: Absolute perfection!! It's served with 4 slices of brioche and the combination of the veal and marrow with the creamy brioche is *chefs kiss* - Fire-cooked skate: This is brought over to the table and then the server removes the fish meat from the bones. The skate meat was super tender! Pacing of the meal was slow but we expected it for a place like this. We spent €69 total on this meal and we thought it was worth it! We would definitely return if we find ourselves back in Lisbon

    One of our favorite meals we had in Lisbon, which is really saying something! Many of the restaurants we ate at in Portugal were a little medieval feeling, which is very cool, but it made it extra refreshing when we walked into Ofício with its funky, bright, upbeat vibe. The food matched the ambiance. The drinks were perfection, and our meals could not have been better. Our server, Bianca, was so helpful with her suggestions and guidance throughout our time here. You definitely want to make a reservation, especially on a weekend. When we arrived I got the sense that if we hadn't had one, it would have been a significant wait for a table. That being said, if you drop in without one, I think it would be worth the wait. One last thing- save room for the cheesecake. Trust me

    Was visiting Lisbon for a week and this was by far my favorite dinner spot! Everything on the menu is amazing, the service was great, and their dessert menu was definitely worth it.

    Excellent from start to finish! Bianca & the whole team provided great service. Such good vibes & AMAZING music (neo-disco is my favorite!)

    Sea vegetable taco
    Cheryl Y.

    Unique foods at a relatively reasonable price for the experience. Not a "value for the food" type of place, but a great date night experience with super specialized dishes. Sea vegetable taco (5 out of 5) - this was magnificent. Super fresh, beautiful blend of textures and flavors. Highly recommend. (7.50€ each) Scallop with padron pepper emulsion and ham (4.5 out of 5) - huge flavor blast with lots of textures, but not with the money? (11,00€) Veal and marrow tartare (5 out of 5) - favorite thing I ate my entire 3 week trip! Highly recommend! The seasoning, the texture, the taste, everything! (15,00€) Garlic prawn (4 out of 5) - my partner absolutely loved this, but it wasn't for me. Beautiful presentation and sauce. Leek, roasted tomato (3.5 out of 5) - interesting to have leek cooked 3 ways, leek itself, topped with leek powder with a leek aioli. Unique, but wasn't my favorite. Presa iberica com molho de tremocos (5 out of 5) - this was stunning! Beautifully cooked tusk of pork with amazing sauce combo. This was something special.

    This was the cutest sweetest place. My husband and I were just here for our anniversary last…read moreSaturday night and found the staff so sincere and kind. The restaurant was quaint and intimate , with a small buffet that easily fills you up. There were many options from a beef stew to a curry, a noodle dish with bacon, salad, and other options. They even explained the options to us. I truly wish we had more time in Lisbon because I would have definitely returned to try it again as the options differ nightly. I would definitely recommend this to all in Lisbon.

    If your in Lisbon, this is one of those must do places…read more A Portuguese buffet, where everything tastes like someone's grandma just made it. Impeccable service. Cozy, almost romantic atmosphere. And just €16 per person for all you can eat! The menu changes nightly so here were the stars for me: Creamed cod. Might not sound appetizing but this was insanely good. Not too fishy. Veggie lasagna - really great flavors and you sneak in some vegetables. All the sides: mashed potatoes were delicious, the rice is a staple, the couscous was perfect, the carrot soup made me say DAMN! The service was amazing. The two gentleman there ran an entire packed restaurant effortlessly. Helping customers with drinks, explaining the concept and each dish to every person that came in. We washed it down with a pitcher of white sangria (drinks and desserts are extra). We literally couldn't move. We walked back to the hotel instead of taking an Uber simply to walk some of it off. One of the most memorable meals I had in Lisbon.
