10/10Hands down the best food experience we have ever had! Everything was exquisitely prepared and served and the staff was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. We were there to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it didn't disappoint.

9/10The service and the ambience at Cura is amazing. All the waiters, Ibrahim, Ricardo and the rest of the team were very helpful, charming, and very attentive. Unfortunately the prevalence of acidic flavour in almost all of the dishes spoiled our impression. Although the bread and the brioche were delicious!

10/10This dinner was to celebrate my 60th birthday with my wife. We had the most amazing time at Cura. I am sure we will dine at Cura again during our next visit to Lisboa. Thanks a lot!!

10/10Cura served one of the best, if not the best meal i have ever had. Each dish was presented beautifully. Still the taste far exceeded the beauty. The staff took great care in the presentation yet absolutely welcoming and friendly. I had many questions about each dish and they were answered without hesitation. I can't say enough good things about this magic night.

10/10Cura lived up to the hype. Extraordinary service with knowledgeable sommelier and servers with creative and playful dishes that are inspired by Portugal. I would highly recommend this culinary experience.

10/10In Cura’s 13 Course “Origen” menu, Chef Bastos delights the senses and titillates sensibilities. Foregrounding traditional Portuguese cuisine with modern interpretation, each dish—affectionately called a “moment” by Cura—applies global flavors to palate with mastery and subtlety by featuring Asian, European, and Latin American ingredients. Well done

9.5/10A pleasant surprise for a 1* - no detail was unattended; no dish was uninspired; every effort was made by the staff to ensure the highest enjoyment of the dinner experience. Was there a bit much salt occasionally? Maybe. But it was also the best of Portugal+meets+creativity menu with bursts of unexpected delightfulness. An outstanding somm service as well (did not do wine pairing). Absolutely recommend.

5.5/10The course was the thinly sliced octopus. It definitely was not worth the price! Absolutely astronomical! I have had much better tasting menus for much much less! The staff were wonderful, friendly and helpful.

10/10This was perhaps the best tasting menu overall (food plus experience) I’ve ever had, out of many experiences. It beats a 2 star Michelin restaurant I’ve eaten at in San Francisco hands down. Super friendly and professional staff for four of us ina dinner that ran very late - thank you!

9.5/10Wonderful service and interesting, tasty and beautifully presented plates with incredible combinations of flavors. Even though each “moment” was relatively small, once you add up 13 of them (or in our case 8 due to a late reservation) it’s more than enough food for the evening. ReLly really worth it.

10/10It was a superb experience altogether every dish had a personality with original and unique flavors. One of the highlights was the squid which was delicious. Would give it a second Michelin star in an instant.

10/10Chef Pedro and the team at Cura served us very refined cuisine that showcased the beautiful ingredients of Portugal. The food is clean but with many layers of complexity. The food IS NOT overwhelmed by sauces, spices, or salt. Everything is just right! His cuisine rivals any 3 star Michelin restaurant from NYC! His Michelin star is very well deserved! I will recommend Cura to everyone.

10/10This stands out as one of the great dining experiences of my life, up there with Charlie Trotters (many years ago), Single Thread, Le Bernardin, and the like. Everything was amazing, but some dishes, the squid for example, were absolutely awe-inspiring. Chef Pedro is a genius at what he does. The service and wine program is top notch. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. We could not have been happier. A true destination restaurant. In fact, I would fly from San Francisco to Lisbon for the sole purpose of eating at Cura.

9/10Excellent and wonderful food. Only issue is the pace of serving the courses was painfully slow.
