The restaurant is much larger than anticipated, spanning across a few floors. Servers were friendly and gave amazing recommendations, even stopping us from ordering too much. The sangria was one of the best we've had and the bread was excellent with the butter the cheese. They do charge for these starters, but it's listed on the menu. I made the mistake of eating too much bread before our mains came. We enjoyed the clams and grouper head with a side of greens and potatoes. everything was delicious! It's big enough to share for two, and we still couldn't manage to finish all the food. We wanted to try dessert as it was our last meal in Lisbon, but unfortunately ate way too much and couldn't stomach anything else. Would highly, highly recommend this restaurant! They also gave all the ladies a parting gift (a single flower), which I thought was a cute touch. Paid via credit card and they didn't ask for us to leave a tip.

Though I must say it does not match the vibe portrayed by the website. It is very bright inside and feels very 1980s-1990s. People said it's high end and to dress well but there were tourists showing up in shorts and t-shirt. Which is fine but again, not the vibe I expected. To start I said I didn't want the couvert. They took away part of it and left the rest. We just decided what the hell and ate some of it. The cured meat (I forget what kind) left a strange film under my tongue I've never experienced eating similar meat so I didn't eat much of it. The cod was very bony. Parts of it were cooked beautifully and parts were very overcooked and chewy. The potatoes were too salty but well cooked. The greens had grit in them and crunched uncomfortably in my teeth. The steak was lovely but the accompanying rice was hard and bland. It was the only place I've eaten in Portugal (and I've tried a pretty large variety of types) where the sever held the credit card machine in front of me asking if I wanted to enter a tip as I was in the process of looking at the bill and paying. I would have tipped anyway but it was definitely off-putting. Maybe the hype is just residue from a bygone era? I was told I had to try it so I did but I wouldn't go back and probably wouldn't recommend it.

The setting is beautiful, with ocean views and a dining room that embraces a classic nautical style without feeling overly themed. We started with a crab salad, which was fresh and well balanced. For mains we ordered whole sea bass and giant prawns, both of which highlighted the quality of the seafood. The prawns in particular were enormous--closer to small lobster tails than typical shrimp--and cooked perfectly. The standout dish of the meal was the Cream Seafood Cataplana. Cataplana refers to the traditional sealed copper cooking vessel used to prepare the dish. At Entragus, the seafood version is served in a rich, creamy sauce that coats the shellfish beautifully. The seafood remained tender and sweet while the sauce added a luxurious, velvety texture that brought everything together. Service throughout the meal was excellent--professional, attentive, and polished. With its ocean views, authentic coastal atmosphere, and excellent seafood, Entragus feels like one of those Cascais restaurants that locals quietly point visitors toward when they want them to eat well.

They had heaters set up and when we were seated they had blankets on the chairs for you to use. Perfect touch! What's stood out about the couvert (bread, butter, olives) is that the butter was a garlic butter. It was so good we had to order extra bread to make sure ate it all.

Amazing!! The creaminess of the corn stuffing mixed with the melt in your mouth pasta was 10 out of 10. I would have a hard time not ordering this every time. My friend ordered the chicken skewers. I found them to be simple but exactly what she ordered. I didn't care to finish them and wanted to save room for a different option. I got the veal empanada and it was delicious. The empanada shell was the perfect consistentcy. It was stuffed with a lot of tender veal. The sauce was drinkable. Since I didn't help with the chicken, my friend was full so that was the end of our meal. I highly recommend others check out this spot!

My travel agent booked me this and Bel Canto for back to back nights so I was excited to report back on this for her! Alma did not disappoint. I read ahead of time about the vibe and menu choices. You can pick tasting menu or à la carte, but unlike most places, you know what's on the tasting menu and you can choose from the fish forward one or another one. Opted for à la carte, for the first time ever when given a tasting menu option because it was basically designing your own. You can (and should) also add on the "chef's surprises" and then you have your own tasting menu. The service was great while being non-intrusive. It's a more casual and warm vibe than a lot of other more traditional fine dining experiences. Think warm and cozy dining room, no white linens, somewhat open kitchen in the corner. The food was of course the star. It was truly exceptional, as expected. The suckling pig was probably my favorite dish but the tenderloin was also a highlight. Everything was great from start to finish. Highly recommend and will absolutely go back next time in Lisbon!

Alma was simply one of the most exceptional dining experiences I've ever had--likely the best meal…read moreof my life and, objectively, the finest Michelin-starred food I've encountered among the nine establishments I've visited to date. In fact, though I've nearly explored Lisbon to my heart's content, I would consider returning just to dine here again. For this visit, we opted for the à la carte menu and added the bread service and Chef's Surprises (€15)--an absolute must. The bread was accompanied by a uniquely nutty olive oil (so good I hunted it down at the market to bring home) and a deeply smoked butter that was truly out of this world. I won't spoil the "moments" and Chef's surprises that were sprinkled throughout the meal but they added an element of delight and anticipation throughout the night, with each one memorable and mouthwatering in their own special way. Alma's cocktail menu is uniquely rooted in Portuguese ingredients, but what impressed me even more was their thoughtful mocktail selection, a rarity at this level of dining. I got the Soul (elderflower, lemon, cucumber and egg white) a delightfully refreshing treat that I hope to one day recreate at home, while my boyfriend got the Tamashi, a cocktail made with Amêndoa Amarga Ámen (a local almond liqueur) and Angostura bitters--a lovely, marzipan-meets-citrus drink that gave us the chance to sample local spirits. On to the entrees... since we were dining a la carte, we chose an item each from their chef's classics menu and the seafood (Costa a Costa) menu. FOIE GRAS: seared and served with grilled apple, beetroot and granola... as well as an aromatic bitter coffee foam that cut through the unctuousness of the intensely rich and buttery foie gras to add a roasted, nutty, almost smokey flavor-- just wow. the textural contrast of all these elements made this a truly mind blowing and innovative concoction~ BLUE LOBSTER: poached to buttery smooth perfection, this was a more quietly elegant dish served with roasted leek and corn in a creamy nutty almond emulsion with bright orangey citrusy notes... a gentle symphony of well-balanced flavors Because I simply could not bear to have the meal come to an end, we had to finish off with dessert. The Bola de Berlim was essentially the Portuguese version of the German Berliner, fluffy doughnut holes filled with decadent egg custard (instead of jam) accented with a fragrant calamansi sorbet... a divine and elevated take on this classic Portuguese beach treat. While we only ordered drinks, two entrees and a dessert, our meal ended up being so much more due to the anticipation of the surprises and moments, which were all nothing short of amazing and turned the evening into an immersive journey. If you have one meal to splurge on during your time in Portugal, this is THE ONE. As alluded to earlier, Alma offers two tasting menus--one inspired by the Chef's classics, and the other centered around fish and shellfish (Costa a Costa). Dreaming of the chance to revisit and try the latter (or both?!) one day :')
