10/10I've been going to Cícero since it opened and I have to say: the new gastronomic concept is simply spectacular. Chef Alessandra Montagne and her team have put together a fine dining menu that is totally in accordance with the elegance of the restaurant (which, in essence, is also an art gallery). The Portuguese wines suggested were surprising and excellent (the "Vinha do Norte" from Douro is fantastic!). A must-go in Lisbon for anyone who admires art and gastronomy.

It was lovely to have you back for the new experience with Alessandra menu. Thank you very much for the sensibility.

10/10A great surprise in Campo de Ourique. Excellent food! I had the Bacallao that payed a tribute to Picasso. My wife Azorean Amberjackwith black clams and rice. Both were amazing. Service perfect. The owner Paulo circulates in the room to ask clients if everything is fine. I truly recommend it.

10/10Recommended by a friend and they didn't disappoint! We were the first ones there, the host explained the whole history/ background on Cicero Bistrot. The service was amazing, the server made a great connection with us - felt comfortable and super cared for. The food and wine recommendations were great - 20/10. Will def come back! :)

10/10The ambiance was amazing with a beautiful Picasso and Cicero theme. Our waitress was knowledgeable, attentive and so kind throughout every course. The food was incredible - very unique and fresh plates. We especially enjoyed the specialty celebration plate, the scallop appetizer, and every dessert was wonderful. If you are looking for an authentic and intimate Portuguese dining experience, this is a great choice!
Cícero • Owner
It was an immense pleasure to have had your family with us! Thank you very much for the visit and kindness.

9.5/10The food was very tasty, the service is impeccable! Definitely want to try the rest of the items on the menu. We had the duck, the salad, the chocolate mouse and the passion fruit crème brûlée. I would recommend each one. The price is definitely steep, and while the food is good, some dishes are a little beyond what I found reasonable, that’s the only downside however.

10/10A little gem of a restaurant. Set up like s mini art gallery in honour of their namesake Cicero really gives it a special feel. We had a lovely table by a window. We were the first diners but the place soon started to fill up. The menu is creative with unusual combination of ingredients such as strawberries and salmon - it all worked beautifully. All in all a memorable meal with great service in a quirky yet cosy setting.

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!

10/10I 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 • 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.
Cícero • Owner
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 • Owner
It is always delightful to host artists at our house. Thank you very much for the visit!

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 • 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.

7/10Staff super nice, we had a great evening, the duck starter was amazing. The two mains were lacklustre, a vegan curry with only mushrooms and potatoes was begging for something more, the pork was lacking flavour and the sauce wasn’t that great. Overall we would go again but order other mains.
Cícero • Owner
Thank you for the visit and feedback, we appreciate it. We loved participating in your celebration with our exhilarating chocolate mouse. Please come back to try other dishes. Our ambience is full of art, next time we can have a tour and explain the pieces in detail. Looking forward for a second chance.
