We are annual visitors to Bairro Alto and ate here twice when it was a tapas restaurant. The…read moreproperty has the same management (and/or owner), but switched it up completely to a Japanese restaurant. (Note: not a sushi restaurant, but a Japanese restaurant). The majority of the menu is on chalkboards inside whilst they are still printing menus for the table. We had spring rolls, pork gyoza (superb!), edamame (heavily doused in thick crystals of salt), harumaki and shrimp yakisokba. We also had miso soup, which I want to point out is the best miso I've ever had in my life. If we lived there, I would just go get a bowl of soup daily in the winter.
Estrella (Spanish beer) on draught was a welcome respite from Sagres or Super Bock. The service was excellent. Our waiter, who was new, was fantastic - very personable. I apologize, but I forgot his name, as I meant to give him a shout out for our visit on 11 September in the evening. A young Japanese lady from the kitchen came out to check that we were getting quality suggestions from the kitchen after something was done for the evening. All this for 33.50 Euros. Highly recommended.
