    Truly an incredible experience. Went to a 2 star restaurant in Lisbon a week later and could not understand why Fifty Seconds is just 1 star.

    From the " welcome" after stepping onto the property, to the end of the evening , the staff were OUTSTANDING. We were escorted to the elevators and our experience began! The 50 Seconds ride to the welcoming restaurants doors did not disappoint! The elegant atmosphere, the floor to ceiling windows and the table scape of linen and fine china were all part of the visual appeal. Our waiters were very attentive. And, the food! The artistry and pagentry to present the chefs creations were military perfection. The food! Each delectable bite was an experience. The creativity of melding each level of flavor was truly a taste sensation. All of the senses were singing. 100% outstanding experience. . The wait to get the reservation and the requested deposit were worth it. And, finally the trip to the WC! Not to be missed! The floor to ceiling windows, the artistic sink and the very modern( Japanese?) closing of the doors is worth the experience.

    The most attentive staff with an absolutely elegant dinner! Every course was inventive, full of flavors and plated beautifully. The wine pairing, showing off local wines was educational, as well. Stunning view and excellent evening all around!

    The chef takes you to a tour around the world of spices using mostly local seafood and fish except one the seriole that he has sent from Japan. A true passionnate talent surrounded by excellent staff. Unfortunately it was dark when I sat at my table I wish I could enjoy the stunning view. I really hope to come back one day sooner than later. A must in Lisbonne.

    With Michelin rated restaurants - you expect excellence. This restaurant exceeded its single star by a large margin. Ambiance, service and food were better than a few 3 Star restaurants I have had the opportunity to enjoy. Highly recommended

    I went with my wife. First time in Lisbon. we are very much into the Michellin experience and our expectations very high. In all honesty from the Lady at reception downstairs to the waitress upstairs We felt wellcomed. we had a 14 course with wine pairing... we had a hard time deciding the best plate. Chef R. Silvestri served half the plates and Mark the best Soumellier in Portugal helped with every detail.. in my experience having visited so many Michellin Restaurants.... I do believe Chef Silvestri deserves a 2nd star...

    It seemed like most of tasting dishes were chopped into smaller pieces and lots of sauce so hard to taste the food. The presentation of the food was nice and perhaps performance based.

    Obviously, at 235 Euros for a chef's tasting, one expects close to perfection. Happily, Fifty Seconds did not disappoint. Fabulous view, creative menu, and impeccable service without snobbery or pretentiousness. My one suggestion might have been to have some half bottles of wine on the wine list, but the staff improvised with a half liter of one of their wines that accompany paired tastings. Overall, a very special experience.

    What an amazing experience for my son and I - our first Michelin star restaurant and it exceeded my expectations! I had the "12 moments" and enjoyed every single bite of these creative masterpieces. My 18-yr-old son had the ox fillet and loved it. With some starters and dessert, we were very full and happy. Thank you for the attentive service and wonderful ambience.

    Although we had high expectations these were in fact exceeded. We have been to a number of Michelin starred restaurants including some of the best in the world, and this was right up there with the best of them. The difference for us was the exceptional friendliness; and being invited to meet the chef in the kitchen after service which made our evening very special. No hesitation in recommending 50 seconds to all, and we will definitely return.

    The Chef is incredibly inventive and the food is the best we have had in Lisbon. Each course (primarily seafood) was a delight including the salad. The service: superb. Fifty Seconds should soon earn three Michelin stars.

    food and service were a 10. The view, furniture, and overall vibe was polished and elegant; however the Muzak piped in through 90's era speaker was out of place and kept pulling me back to the ground. It's a minor quibble but the details matter at this level.

    Literally the best restaurant we ate at. We've been also in 2 and 3 Micheline stars. This one is at a different level. Everything related and connected to the local food and market. The wine pairing gives perfect balance to the food. The service was great. The chef had to do adaptations for us- and he did it in an extraordinary way. The only thing I would do different is to change the temperature of the room. It was too warm for us. I believe (and know) that this restaurant deserve more than one star. It is in an whole other level than any other 1 star restaurant we've been in.

    From beginning to end, this experience was what one expects from a Michelin Star restaurant. Each course was creative in ingredients and explosive in flavor. Courses were spaced out nicely and service was spot on during the entire meal. I'd absolutely keep this on my dining list next time we're in Lisbon.

    The setting is hard to beat. Perched on a high-tech looking tower and overlooking the breathtaking Vasco Da Gama bridge on one side and the aquarium complex on the other side. The menu is full of fresh local produce and the cooking is superlative! Really, divine food, superb service and an incredible overall experience.

    We were very excited about this restaurant. However, after experiencing truly excellent restaurants in Porto and Sintra, it did not live up to expectations. It was just slightly above average and most certainly over-priced. We were trying Michelin Star restaurants across Portugal (we tried three other truly excellent restaurants). Waiters at this restaurant were nice, but, not at the professional level (capacity for care and describing dishes was just not there). The dishes were just good and not exceptional. I had a lobster risotto, which was good, but, had very little lobster and was not remarkable. My partner had the lamb, which was also just good, not as mouth-watering as one would expect. The amuse bouche was also a bit boring for both of us. We did not leave hungry, but, were unimpressed and the price was the highest of all the restaurants we experience, but, with only 0.5 of value.
