    My wife and I went to SEEN rooftop today (March 22, 2026) for lunch and were thoroughly impressed…read more The food was fresh and delicious, the team from the hotel staff that greeted us in the lobby, to the hostess who met us at the elevator upstairs, to the bartenders that greeted us as we walked in and to eat and every waitress that stopped by our table. All of them were friendly, welcoming and went above and beyond. Seriously, not only did they do their job, but they went out of their way to make us feel special and welcomed. It was such a great experience. Oh, did I mention the view? Amazing! The food there was great, we had mostly sushi, sashimi, tacos, etc, all of which was fresh and tasty. The wait team gave us recommendations which were spot on. No upsells, but honest and right on the money based on what we described we wanted. They knew their stuff and delivered. That was a highlight for sure. Well done, SEEN team. And as a side note, the folks - well one person in particular - who complained about the dress code, it's seriously not a "thing." It's very clearly spelled out and it's not a huge burden. Image attached. It's clearly referenced when you make a reservation, it's on their website, and it's frankly not unreasonable. We saw a range of people there and they were all welcomed. The bottom line is, this place is a nicer place. If you feel like being overly casual, or sloppy, this likely isn't the place for you. And that's totally ok. There are plenty of other rooftops you can go to and be overly casual or sloppy at and fit right in, no problem. But honestly, you have to proactively work to not meet the dress code here. Especially during lunch. All that being said, we loved this place and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

    The view is spectacular and the service was good. We just went for a drink and they were very…read moreaccommodating

    Keenly priced sensational event and very, very good food. Price to performance ratio significantly…read moreto the benefit of the performance :D The bar obviously serves surfers and similar laid-back guys ... I had chicken, and my friends slices of sirloin - and we were all delighted... Putting your meal in the middle of the table and sharing it may be fun - as long as you don´t find out that those people sitting at the table with you pretending to be your friends have eaten all your salad :D :D :D One star less just for not very comfortable toilets and especially for the sentence that should be followed by the death penalty: "You can only have a dish the cook is able to make right away, we are closing in 40 minutes"... Well, we had no Portuguese plate or grilled chicken legs. .. What a pity! If their approach had been slightly more obliging - we didn´t really want to spend the winter there, just have something to eat and leave - it would have been perfect :) Cenově úplná atrakce senzace a jídlo velmi, velmi dobré. Poměr cena výkon výrazně ku prospěchu výkonu :D Bar evidentně pro surfaře a podobné pohodáře... Dala jsem si půlku kuřete, kamarádi plátek svíčkové - a hromadné nadšení... Sdílení jídla uprostřed stolu může být sranda - pokud tedy nezjistíte, že ti lidé, co sedí u stolu a tváří se jako přátelé, vám snědli ale úplně všechen salát :D :D :D Hvězda dolů jen za ne úplně komfortní toalety a hlavně za větu, za kterou by měl následovat trest smrti: Můžete si dát jen jídlo, které kuchař stihne hned, za 40 minut zavíráme... No, portugalský talíř ani grilovaná kuřecí stehýnka to nebyla... Škoda! Mírně vstřícnější přístup - my jsme tam vážně nechtěli přezimovat, jen se najíst a jít - a nemělo by to chybu :)

    This was a place I was really excited about. My husband and I walked down to another restaurant to…read moreeat and passed by and saw the big chalk sign out front that said "Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free!"... I have Celiac disease and so navigating food when traveling is always an experience for me and I immediately tagged this place as one we would return to. Sadly, when we went and I said I needed to be gluten-free and asked if they had a separate menu when I only saw three items the server said "We really don't have a lot." ...then why is it advertised in huge letters on the sign outside? Felt strange. The service was exceptional of course - none of this at all is a condemnation of the employees - they were all great and attentive and helpful... I just think the advertising of the menu and branding needs... some rework? The check arrived with major sticker shock for fries, wings, and sangria (that was way way too sweet). We spend a good amount of our disposable income on dining out, with intent, and the value ratio for this one was... off. Environment? Very chill neighborhood "burger bar" type place. There are some couches and lots of art on the walls for purchase and pretty extensive beer list - larger than I had seen at any other restaurant in Alfama and beyond.
