4.5/10We had high hopes for this, based on the reviews and standing of it's other restaurant (which we didn't realise was separate). However, the service we received/didn't receive was shocking. It took over an hour for our meagre tuna sashimi starter, which was nice but not worth the 80 minute wait. A further 30 minutes later our monkfish arrived, with the tiniest bit of filling and not a sign of the octopus we ordered. They forgot it! The restaurant wasn't full, there was no excuse. They made a very poor apology, no offer of a dessert to make up for it, nothing. It seems that if you're a tourist, you just don't matter. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.

10/10The food at this restaurant was excellent. The suggested wine pairing was excellent. The chef and the sommelier clearly know their food and wine. The ambiance was also very good - it was moderately lively, but not loud. We had a great evening.

3.5/10Awful service. Staff were unfriendly, inattentive and just strange. Maybe that works if the food is fantastic but the food was also fairly unimpressive. Food took forever to come. The worst meal & dining experience we’ve had in Europe.

9/10During my visit to the Bistro, I had a positive dining experience. The food was enjoyable, and I appreciated the staff inquiring about any allergies I may have had. Additionally, the quality of the drinks we received was excellent. I encountered an issue during a recent dining experience, in which a dish was delivered with potential for cross-contamination. Specifically, a spoon was used from a shrimp plate on a side dish, leading me to request a replacement due to concerns about allergen cross-contamination. This matter was promptly resolved by the establishment. I would like to emphasize the importance of taking allergies into serious consideration. Upon receipt of the dishes, I noticed that the meat and the shrimp were brought to the table by the same individual, and there was a potential risk of cross-contact.

7/10The welcoming was very good, lovely table on the 2nd floor. For the starter, the mackerel tartare was so smelly, we had to use another sauce from another starter to cover the smell. Some ginger or lemon juice will do a better job for all fish and seafood dish. For the main course, the fish rice was amazing, but we found a long hair in it … so, we told the waiter about it and he was very apologetic and claimed that he would offer us the dessert as an apology. When we received the bill, the dessert was billed and he claimed that it was how it was written in Portuguese (?). Anyhow, I did not want to battle for nothing and just let it be.

10/10Would absolutely recommend. The drinks are out of this world. The food is really amazing and we got recommended a bottle of wine that fit perfectly. This is one of those places you would want to go back again- something we did

8/10we had a nice meal and the service was good, we did feel that the food was slightly over priced for what it was, there were also just one or to odd things about the restaurant that place it as a bit style over substance , for example the menus came in large lovely designed folder which was impractically large to sit on the table, however inside was a tiny menu. however good food and service so who can complain :-)

10/10What a sensational meal we had at Bistro 100 Maneiras! The wild tiger prawns were the size of dinner plates and the octopus, done Asian style, was incredible. I had never tried octopus before; now I’m not sure I want to eat it any other way. It was THAT good! Don’t miss the Cheese Foam and Guava for dessert. In fact, make sure you order two. It was superb!

8.5/10FOOD WAS SOME OF THE BEST WE HAVE HAD IN LISBON. THE SERVICE IS SPOTTY. SEVERAL ITEMS ON THE MENU WERE UNAVAILABLE SOME OF WHICH WE ALREADY ORDERED. OUR FIRST SERVER DIDN’T UNDERSTAND OUR DRINK ORDERS EVEN THOUGH WE ORDERED FROM THEIR COCKTAIL MENU. MY WIFE ORDERED A DIRTY MARTINI WITH OLIVES WHICH NO ONE COULD GET. THEY THEN SWAPPED WAITERS. THIS GUY WAS EXCELLENT. ALSO SAT US UPSTAIRS WHICH WAS A BIT TOO WARM AND ALL AMERICANS

4/10Honestly I’d not bother, the food was average and the service was poor. I’d seen so many review that were mixed it should have been a sign. I’d certainly not go back, am sure other restaurants offer better service and food.

10/10We were warmly greeted and ushered to our table upstairs overlooking the lively street scene of Chiado district. Our server promptly described the menu. It was infused with the chef’s home cuisine of Bosnia. Wine service was professional and eager to introduce us to Portuguese wines. Food was delicious and well presented. Overall a highlight meal during our stay in Lisbon.

9/10+2An enjoyable experience! Although the dishes taste good, the seasoning and flavors of the dishes are very strong, so I recommend sharing between courses and starters. 5 stars for the service and a special thanks to Mafalda and Ricardo. From Aveiro and Porto.

4/10Waiter was inexperienced and said "ok" every other word. At one point I asked him what was inside the ravioli and he only told me what was outside of the ravioli. The food was a set course for Valentine's Day and we didn't finish any of the courses... the ambience is super maximalist with too many ideas similar to the food, ideas that haven't been refined or thought thoroughly to see if they actually coalesce.
Bistro 100 Maneiras • Owner
Dear Amir, we are sorry that your experience at Bistro did not fully meet your expectations and that you had a less positive impression regarding the food and the service, as our goal is, of course, to provide a great experience to our clients throughout the meal. Although it was a fixed menu, our team is always available to make the necessary adjustments to make your experience a positive one, so we wish you would have told us that during your dinner.

8/10While the service and drinks were great, the food was a bit of a letdown. We've ordered starters, which were ok (some were better than others), but the main dishes were good enough to spoil our evening. Both fish dishes came very over-salted, which was a shame, because that tuna belly looked wonderful when it was brought out and presented. Turbot collar was also presented prior to cooking, and it was the last time it looked delicious, because after it was cooked, it was not what we've expected. I really don't understand why it had to be salted so much (although few theories were thrown out for a private discussion) One member of the party had a meat dish, and while it was not over-salted as my fish, the meat itself was a bit dry (there is a small possibility that it shuold be, due to the dish itself, ie the cut of meat used etc) When one pays for a meal this high of a price-tag, one expects for a meal to be worth the money paid, unfortunately, this particular time it wasn't. I cant recommend this place at this time, however, should you decide to go, maybe stay away from the fish, or ask for the salt on a side, and salt it yourself to your liking. We were so disappointed that we didn't even stay for deserts. Sadly, this restaurant left us feeling salty.

Dear Russel, first of all we would like to thank you for the positive feedback regarding the service and drinks. However, we’re deeply sad to read that the food wasn't entirely to your liking and that your experience at Bistro 100 Maneiras wasn’t able to meet your expectations. Since day one, more than a decade ago, our main goal has always been to provide our clients a remarkable experience, made of great food, great wines and cocktails, a great ambiance and a great service. These are the ingredients that made Bistro number 1 in the world at the Monocle Restaurant Awards, in 2017, among many other prizes and recommendations in countless media. We wish you could have mentioned your issues regarding the food during your dinner, as our team is always 100% available to make the necessary adjustments to provide you a perfect experience. We will, however, share this review internally so we can check for any problems and continue to improve our work. And we sincerely hope we can welcome you back to our restaurant,

4/10It all started on the wrong foot when arriving and being told in no uncertain terms that my booking was for two people, even though there were four of us. I checked the email confirmation and I definitely booked for the correct number of people. The staff member made us feel like she was doing us an enormous favour by giving us a table. Pretentiousness at its highest level. Food was pretty average and prices are unreasonably high for what you get. Finally, it all ended on a sour note when during payment the server was extremely pushy for a tip by making it very clear that service charge wasn't included and it was customary to leave a generous tip (?!) She clearly was aiming for a high tip from my American friend, probably knowing that americans tend to tip well. This place has seen better days and I'm clearly placing it in the tourist trap category now. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else, there are much better options literally across the road.
Bistro 100 Maneiras • Owner
Dear Mario, we are very sorry to read that your experience at Bistro couldn’t meet your expectations. There was, in fact, a glitch in our booking system, that we tried to solve as quickly as possible in order to minimize the problem. We are very sorry for this and it was never our intention to make you feel uncomfortable in any way. We are also sorry that you didn’t enjoy your food. We’d like to add that our team is always prepared to make any changes on your order in case it doesn’t suit your taste, so we wish you could have told us that during your meal, so we could have provided you a better experience. Lastly, we apologize if you felt pushed to leave a tip. That is not Bistro’s policy and we will share this review with all our team so we can check what went wrong and continue to improve our work. Best regards.

10/10What an amazing experience! The staff were all well trained about the food and made amazing recommendations. The food was delicious with perfect combinations of flavors. The restaurant itself was warm and welcoming. The music soundtrack was a perfect blend for the evening, not too loud and yet at times made you stop and say, what’s that song? A+++ We we’re a couple dining and found it romantic, yet the staff is so warm and welcoming, I feel a single diner would have an excellent meal as well. A don’t miss in Lisboa!

10/10The dining room is lovely and the staff were very nice and very busy, a little disjointed. Great intense flavors. The tuna/eggplant tartare was perfect made even more perfect by the brioche(?) toast round on top. The Yugoslav goulash was flavorful with a tad too much salt. The pickled onions were a nice touch and the side roasted potatoes were beautifully prepared. My first night out on vacation without my kids who opted to stay at the apartment and eat pizza. It was a lovely treat to eat at Bistro 100 Maneiras.
