Great burger and delicious mushroom risotto. It is a beautiful place on the inside. Not very busy tonight.

Omg, if you ever tried gin and thought "maybe", this is the place for you. If you like gin, this is heaven. Victor was not a waiter, he was our host; awesome. The Gin Lover's tasting... I like a good 3 martini dinner as much as the next guy but this tasting was more of a complete excursion vs dipping g your toe in... with extras... be sure to have food in you before hand! The gin goes down way way too easy. Superb service, wonderful atmosphere, terrific selection of all gin, and really outstanding house-brand. This is a "must experience" for anyone going to Lisbon. We brought bottles home for our friends too, Martini Time !!

Gin Lovers is a terrific gin-centric bar in the middle of Lisbon. The most extensive list of gin and tonics I have ever seen. Great service and a fun atmosphere make it a terrific spot to stop for any cocktail, particularly gin cocktails. Food is also available.

We found this restaurant on travel forums two weeks prior to arriving in Lisbon. We booked our reservation via the TripAdvisor app and instantly received confirmation via the app and email. The restaurant is in a large villa that houses the restaurant as well as several high end clothing stores and art galleries. The villa is stunning and the restaurant occupies the enclosed central courtyard. The bar is in the back and the dining in the center. The selection of gins and gin based drinks is incredible and all that we sampled were delicious!! The food menu is brief and changes with seasons. We ordered the bread basket with the house made olive tapenade, homemade butter and pungent sheep cheese. Bread and condiments were all delicious and fresh. We noticed that adjacent patrons had quite large portion sizes. Our table of three split the order of mushroom risotto and risotto with sea bass and asparagus. We shared three desserts, the chocolate mousse with ginginha, the chef's cookie cake and the pear donuts with sorbet. We had champagne, red port and coffee with desserts. The complete meal and service were awesome!!! We recommend this restaurant!!

Great customer service, since the minute we walked in the staff was very friendly and helpful. We sat outside next to the bar and the bartender/ mixologist knew how to make every drink delicious. The burgers were also delicious if you're in Lisbon this is must go to place. When I am back in town I certainly go back.

Cool restaurant/bar in Principe Real and just down the street from A Cevicheria. After dinner there we walked down the st to get some drinks and were not disappointed. Cocktails here aren't cheap and pretty much line up with Manhattan prices but were well made and the staff is really nice and friendly. We grabbed a corner couch to enjoy our drinks. Nice atmosphere. Tea Time (12 €) - refreshing and hit the spot. Not sweet and the egg white gave it a nice touch. The Sour (10 €) - was a bit sweeter with a touch of tartness. Vinho Verde (4,50 €) - i enjoyed this glass of green wine altho our one friend wasn't a fan. Canada Gin & Tonic (12 €) - this comes in the giant Gin Lovers glass and i loved it. Refreshing and not too strong altho there was a TON of ice in it.

The dining space.

We stumbled on this restaurant while walking around - the signage for it is fairly low-key, so you could easily miss it. The dining space is incredible - it's an interior courtyard of the Palacao Ribeiro da Cunha, as told to me by the waitress. There are not a lot of tables so you may have to reserve, although for lunch we had no problems getting a table. We had the Caesar Salad which was a most interesting interpretation of this classic - absolutely unique and delicious. The service was on-point - very friendly and prompt. The Palace contains a number of high-end stores as well and a bar that we did not use. I give it five stars for the food, wonderful service and the dining space - worth giving it a try.

The expanded inner courtyard area circled by fun shops. Sunday concerts are here.

Delightful little spot, this gin bar's set in a historic, multi-story building that is now filled with hipstery shops. The bar itself is quite small, but it has a seating area in the main middle section of the building, which is just beautiful. There's a large selection of gins, which are paired with the appropriate tonic, and also served with different combinations of herbs and dried fruit. I was quite impressed with the Friday's gin, which came with dehydrated mango, which had only a hint of sweetness, and was refreshing, perfect after a hot walk around town. Also delicious was the white snow gin, which was served with cilantro and dried orange. The gin and tonics are carefully presented and well thought out, really the best I've ever had and I'm quite a gin drinker. On Sundays, they have an intimate little fado concert for 20 euro a ticket from 7 to 8pm, which includes a drink. I wasn't able to stay for it, but it seemed like a fun way to spend an evening.

The cutest place to grab some drinks and relax. We were visiting Lisboa and came in for drinks after eating at Atahlo real (delicious), Gin lovers is in the same place at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The mixologist was a performer who made sure we were all entertained and happy with our drinks. It's a must on your journey through Portugal.

Really interesting place to dine. Love the architecture! The staff was super friendly and our poor waiter Richard (sp) was in his first week. We have him a big challenge when we put three tables together for a party of 13. This was a bit much for the kitchen to handle but he did his best to take care of everyone. The food was slow coming out (party size) but was delicious and the gin was quite good. I'd recommend coming here in groups of 2 or 4 for the best experience. If more people want to come then do it in smaller groups. .

This is our second NYT-reviewed gin bar (first was Gintoneria in San Sebastián). Did not disappoint! EXTENSIVE gin cocktail list and beautiful back bar filled with bottles from around Europe. My only regret is that we're traveling to a couple of other places first and so can't carry a bottle home now. Guess we'll just have to come back.

Pastries de Bacalhau - the crust was not brown enough. May be longer time. The stuffing was flavorful but it's more the cod taste than the flavored mash potatoes which I prefer. I actually prefer the other local restaurant I tried the night before better. Caldo Verde - The potatoe part of the soup is great. Perfect viscosity but the flavor is not. It wasn't salty enough but more importantly is the flavor of the veggies and the spicy sausage they supposed to use that makes the soup taste different. Grilled giant pawns - The flavor of the prawns is not as intense as expected and hope to be. The squid ink pasta also lacked of flavor. That's disappointing. With the prawns, they should at least use the prawn shell to make sauce for the pastas. The pasta was tasteless, didn't even use enough garlic and olive oil to flavor it up. Seafood rice - Another disappointment. They used fish, small mussels and little bit of shrimp pieces along with some bigger whole shrimps and mussels. However, the rice was lack of the true seafood flavor that made from shell fish. They also added cilantro which overwhelmed the whatever left of seafood flavor. The lemonade was not a sweet lemonade but sour. Fyi. It's not fair we just went to another restaurant in the neighborhood and everything was so much better but people should know.

This was our first official meal in Lisbon, a reservation for 9:45 pm dinner on a Wednesday, and it was a great introduction to Portuguese food. The street at the entrance was empty and quiet, and there weren't many people inside, presumably because it was late. Service was excellent, they were very nice, told us to take our time despite our late reservation. Pumpkin soup was the appetizer, and it was delicious. Creamy and hearty but somehow not heavy, with some tomato and meaty flavor that went well with the sweet pumpkin. Comes with some seeds and bread that you can dip the soup with. 5/5 Octopus-comes with some green peppers, quinoa, and a tomato paste/puree that gives it a light, slightly sweet, slightly spicy taste that went very well with the octopus. This is a great summer dish. Interestingly the thin end of the octopus was not that crispy, maybe that was the intention, but the entire tentacle taste and texture was pretty homogenized. 4.5/5 Risotto- also has pumpkin, but more savory with cheese and butter, topped with leek and I belive has mushrooms. Not sure how they're getting away with using heavy ingredients coming together to become a light dish, but they're pulling it off perfectly. Price was also very reasonable. We did get asked about tip, which not all restaurants in Lisbon do, but we felt tip was deserving at this establishment.

The food across the board was excellent--every dish we tried was flavorful, well-prepared, and felt thoughtfully put together. You can tell there's real intention behind both the menu and execution. What really elevated the experience, though, was our waiter, Bernardo. He brought incredible energy to the table--full of personality, engaging, and genuinely fun to interact with. At the same time, his service was top-notch: attentive without being overbearing, helpful with recommendations, and clearly passionate about what he does. Great food is one thing, but when you pair it with service like that, it turns into a memorable experience. Highly recommend--and if you get Bernardo, you're in for a great time.
