9/10Behind the dark green doors is a world of culinary wonder and a menagerie of delicacies- the service from the beginning and the cozy interiors set a wonderful tone for our lunch. The sommelier was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with great recommendations. The chefs surprises and bread are definitely a must and were a highlight of the meal. I loved the “pani puri” with caviar and herbs, and the tempura red pepper was phenomenal. For the mains, I enjoyed the suckling pig confit, but I found the lamb to be a bit too chewy. The chefs surprises included some dessert truffles which were phenomenal

8/10+5From the very first bites, the cuisine reveals an almost perfect mastery. As an amuse-bouche, the pork toasts are fabulous, a true ode to gourmet delight. The main courses continue on this high note, although we did notice a few imperfections: one dish was slightly too salty and the pork needed a bit more cooking time. However, the reimagined pastel de nata stands out as a culinary masterpiece worthy of three stars. To end on a high note, we tasted the arroz doce revisited with cauliflower and a floating cloud, a surprising and bold dessert. The experience remains memorable, enhanced by impeccable and attentive service. This is an address to remember for discerning palates in search of refined gastronomic discoveries.

10/10Alma is a 2 Michelin Star rated restaurant that lives up to the hype. The food is amazing, the service is impeccable and the presentation is creative with an artistic flair. My wife and I each got the tasting menu's (they offer two choices and we got 1 of each) and we shared each course. We felt like we were provided a tour of delicious Portuguese cuisine from all over the country. My only warning to anyone who goes here is come hungry! We were so full when we were done we were glad we only had a 15 minute walk back to our hotel. If you want a gastronomic feast, Alma does not disappoint!

9.5/10That was the second Michelin Star restaurant we visited in Lisbon. The food was wonderful and unexpected. But the services were not as attentive as other Michelin restaurant. I expect they would spend some more time to explain each dish in more detail. Overall experience was pleasant, but we expect more from a two stars Michelin.

10/10In short, 3 and a half hours well-spent. Service and execution was attentive without being overbearing. The wine and cider pairings focused only on indigenous beverages, and did not disappoint. The Cider with the Foie Gras...perfect.

10/10As we entered the charming restaurant nestled in the heart of the city, I knew that our lunch would be nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, every detail of this hidden gem's meal was executed to perfection. The first thing that caught my attention was the artful presentation of each dish, like a masterpiece on a canvas with vibrant colors and deliberate shapes. As an artist, I couldn't help but admire the aesthetic consideration put into every plate. And as we savored our first bite, it became clear that the beauty extended far beyond the surface. The flavors were a symphony in my mouth, with each dish seemingly inspired by the stunning landscape of Lisbon. Every morsel transported me to the winding streets, azure waters, and lively culture of my Portuguese heritage. During our meal, our server kindly inquired if we were celebrating a special occasion. We revealed that it was our fifth anniversary and were pleasantly surprised when she appeared at our table with a delicate dessert assortment intricately arranged on a hand-carved wooden tray. It was little touches like this that truly set this restaurant apart from all others. In a world where most dining experiences focus solely on the food, Alma went above and beyond to create a truly remarkable and unforgettable experience. From the impeccable service to the unparalleled flavors, every element was carefully selected to tantalize all the senses. It was a lunch that left a lasting impression, one that we will cherish for years to come!

8/10+7The food was amazing, everything was delicious, especially the suckling pig. The service was okay but when we were seated, I asked for the wine list three times to pick a wine by the glass. I never got to see the list, instead the sommelier brought me a wine directly. I didn't want to be rude and I accepted his choice. When we got the bill I realized I was given by-glass options that are priced at €30-€35. I don't think this is the right way to treat customers, leaves a bad taste in your mouth despite all the good food.

10/10+2Alma for us was literally “food for the soul”. We love every detail from the beginning to the end. The constant quality of the food was present in every bite. We highly recommend the pairing option no matter the meal experience you choose, each wine pairing was right on point! The service was spectacular, they were very attentive and very aware of everyone’s needs. Highly recommend. No wonder they have 2 Michelin.
