10/10Everything about our evening at Cicero Bistrot was special. We were welcomed and taken to a room with exquisite contemporary art and a great backstory. We were served delicious food from the strawberry gazpacho amuse bouche to the coconut cream complimentary dessert. The White Azorean wine was unusual and irresistible. The fish eaters loved their choices and I was delighted by the flavors and textures of the vegetarian stew. And the price was right. This was a place that made you feel that all was right with the world!

10/10Quite atypical bistro with an excellent welcome and a meal that meets our expectations. We also had the pleasure of exchanging with the boss who told us his story. I recommend 100% and will come back for sure

10/10This restaurant was one of the highlights of our honeymoon. The owner help us pick out our dishes and they did not disappoint. We ended the night with the passion fruit creme brulee which was incredible

10/10I couldn’t recommend this place enough. The food is amazing, but the service is definitely the best part. Everyone was extremely friendly. The restaurant itself is so beautiful. We were very impressed! It’s almost an art gallery. Beautiful!

10/10I booked this restaurant for some of my colleagues for a client dinner, they were so accommodating, and the feedback was amazing. The restaurant hosted our small group in the Origins Room which made for the perfect setting. The feedback on the food was wonderful, with a special mention for the dessert (and the Port). All in all a lovely experience.

Thank you very much for choosing us! It was a pleasure to host the group.

8/10Lovely concept of private art collection and design of cozy restaurant. However, the food was overly salted and fairly bland for an expensive meal. The best aspect of the menu was the dessert. The experience was beautiful and service outstanding but the food fell short of expectations. Saltiest food we have had yet (we ordered three separate dishes) in Lisbon and we have tried well over 10 restaurants.
Cícero Bistrot • Owner
Thank you very much for your visit. It was very nice that you liked our service and atmosphere. About the salt, it is the first time that we have had this complaint. However, if we had been warned about your personal taste, we would gladly make the dish with less salt than usual for you. We do everything to accommodate our client´s tastes within reason, and salt is easy.

9.5/10Attentive service and helpful explanations of the menu / their ‘specials’ and the wines. The fish and the meat dishes across our group of 8 were prepared very well, and my steak was tender and tasty! A little bit off the beaten track but only a 15-20 minute walk to livelier areas afterwards which wasn’t a bad thing after eating quite a bit. Fine upstairs as this was nicer and a small drains issues needed sorting downstairs at the back, but not noticeable where we were upstairs so it didn’t impact our meal. Overall I’d strongly recommend, especially with the Fork 30% off the a la carte.

Thank you very much for the visit and kindness. We loved to have hosted your group. You are right: we had a drain issue downstairs at during the night that was fixed on the following day.

10/10I was in Portugal with my husband and we went to dinner at Cicero Bistro and had a wonderful night. It is without a doubt a restaurant that goes far beyond the gastronomic experience. The menu has delicious dishes, the atmosphere is super charming, the service is very attentive, we received great tips and suggestions that we were very pleased with. As if that weren't enough, the place has a collection of works by the Pernambuco painter Cícero Dias, after whom the house is named, and other works by contemporary artists who add culture and art of the highest quality.
Cícero Bistrot • Owner
It is always delightful to host artists at our house. Thank you very much for the visit!

10/10Paolo and his staff were inviting and highly attentive. The food was delicious and we enjoyed a fantastic bottle of wine that was recommended. I would easily send any family or friends in Lisbon to Cicero! Paolo and team will treat you like family.

10/10A hidden-gem in Lisbon! We tried the spring menu, and it was a perfect surprise. It is much more than a simple restaurant; it is also an amazing art gallery.

6.5/10Below my expectations unfortunately in view of excellent reviews. Only one red wine was offered which was average. We chose menu: have not been impressed by the main cause. Apologies for writing this.
Cícero Bistrot • Owner
Thank you very much for the visit and feedback. Maybe It was our mistaken in communication: the MENU, 45 euros for a three-course plus twos classes of wine, in question is thought to be a more affordable experience so that customers can have the first contact with the house. It is clearly stated that it has only one wine, with the brand included, in the description. We believe that expectations should be managed accordingly: an economy-class passenger should not expect a business-class experience even if they are on the same plane; otherwise, it will be a deception. The parameters should be other economy-class experiences on other planes. We will improve our communication..

10/10A very late in the day booking. Not sure what to expect. What we experienced was a cultural trip and wonderful food. The staff were amazin, very attentive and looked after us impeccably. All I can say is, you must go here when you visit Lisbon. We will return on our next visit.
