    Sashimi combo very fresh

    If you need a change from the local food here in Portugal sushi is always good this place on key

    Jarrod B.

    Billed as 'the best sushi in town,' I just had to try Avenida SushiCafe for lunch with a friend when out and about in Lisbon recently. We were both hungry and wanted to eat and talk, so sharing a bunch of dishes felt like the ideal way to do this. The starters were chosen with the expert help of our waiter, who was helpful from start to finish. We went for the Himalayan salt rock sashimi of fatty tuna with carameliza onion, kabi wasabi and passion fruit and the Hammachi sashimi with wakame salad, pesto vinaigrette and black salt. We could tell that we were in safe hands with the quality of the food and the skill of the chef. For main course, we decided that a trio of fabulous dishes was going to be right for our appetite. The Otsukuri - a combination of osyters, tuna, salmon, cuttlefish and shrimp on ice - was a delight. Such a clever dish. This went well with the tuna gunkan with foie gras and caramelized purple onion and both of us loved every mouthful. Then it wouldn't have been complete without the Wagyu tataki with truffle and shimeji tempura. There was still room for dessert and we couldn't choose just one, so decided that both ice cream sundae with miso caramel, oreo crumble and waffle biscuit AND pumpkin pie and cinnamon cheesecake with crispy pumpkin seeds were going to do it for us. This modern and stylish restaurant never failed to live up to the hype. The food was as trendy as the décor and we had a great time.

    The place is very nice comfortable and great design. The menus are in Portuguese and English only. May be adding one in Spanish would be a good idea. The hostess was very rude and sarcastic. The waitresses were just ok. The food is great. If you can pass the staff in the front then everything else is good

    Wonderful sushi tonight

    It was tucked away in a side street and even though the prices was on the high end it was worth it.

We somehow…read morechose one of my favorite sushi places and I eat a weekly omakase in New York City and have been to Japan multiple times. I could not believe how great this spot was from decor to service to the food. Walking in it is absolutely beautiful, we chose a table, got a couple drinks that were all good from sake to a spicy margarita. Then we ordered what felt like a silly amount of food, but we were hungry. The waiter somehow remembered it all without writingit down and then coursed it perfectly. We started with the Otoro tartare and that was just about as splendid as anything comes. Then we followed that up with sashimi and just course and course of nigiri and sushi rolls. Every piece was epically amazing and every drink we had was stellar. I must say you cannot have too much otoro here! The otoro just blew our mind from a price and taste perspective. The dessert also was just so good - we had this matcha cake that again was warm and perfectly prepared. I couldn't believe how good it was. I don't know how they're pulling this off, but Nomada is the place to eat in Lisbon!

You can tell that the Owner pays attention to details with what he serves at the restaurant and the decors. They also have an other location just around the corner. Much more casual settings with almost identical menus and price. Overall , Highly recommended.

    Ambiance is fantastic, once you walk in, you expect a delicious and authentic meal…read more I started off with a strawberry sake sangria, which was the best part of the meal. Perfectly fresh for a warm day! Then I had the combo sushi/sashimi lunch plate, which I wanted to start with to determine whether I should order more, and I'm glad my eyes weren't larger than my stomach, for once! When they brought out the combo plate, I was very surprised to find only a few silvers of ginger and no wasabi. No. Wasabi. To me, this was a major faux pas. In general, the sushi and sashimi were OK - relatively fresh, but I've certainly had better. In a city where food is held at such a high standard, I expected that each piece of sashimi should melt like butter in my mouth and have its distinct lingering taste left after. This wasn't the case. If you're looking for an OK place to whet your massive sushi craving, come here. But, if you're looking for quality food, just head to Mercado de Campo de Ourique for some delicious alternatives.
