This was recommended by a friend who travels the world. You enter and have to circle the entire perimeter of the restaurant to get to a hostess stand. I believe at one point they probably had standing room to get in but not on this Friday night. It was dead. Not even sure why I made a reservation. I almost did not sit down as the smell and the restaurant was overwhelming. It smelled like they had piped in terrible overpowering cologne through the air ducts. It burns the nostrils. As a gin drinker, I was determined to see what they had on their menu. I stuck with my old faithful monkey 47. Many servers standing around yet not a single one came over and made any recommendations. Instead one stood by my table waiting on my order which was extremely uncomfortable. Against my better judgment, I ordered the burger which was cooked medium rare. As a chef, we always cook burgers medium and steaks mid rare. I did not finish it. Also shocked they didn’t make their own tonic as a gin bar.

This was our second time here. The food is good and the gin selection is amazing, however it is very expensive for Lisbon and the addition of an ‘optional’ 10% tip made it even more expensive. I dislike this practice that is seeping into the local culture…

Thank you

The food was wonderful (we had a steak and the shrimp risotto for our mains). The service was excellent, and the ambiance memorable. The name is a bit misleading as one does not need to be a lover of gin to have a fantastic experience. We'll be back soon!

The place has a great atmosphere, and we really enjoyed the food (we ordered shrimp risotto, cod, and a chocolate dessert). The restaurant is located in a luxury shopping center, so we didn't really feel cozy until after 8:00 PM, when the stores closed. The restaurant on The Fork is listed as dog-friendly, but we were told by phone that they aren't dog-friendly and that dogs are welcome as long as they don't disturb any of the guests. We arrived with a miniature Maltipoo; I wanted to have a small birthday dinner with our whole family. Because we had a dog, we were only offered tables at the very end, which weren't the most comfortable, especially since people were passing very close to the table before 8:00 PM. We expected more privacy and comfort. I think it's worth excluding the restaurant from the dog-friendly list, as this information may be outdated.

Gin Lovers Bar & Restaurant

Hi Anna, Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re delighted to know you enjoyed the atmosphere and the dishes you tried at Gin Lovers. Although we do welcome dogs, we must ensure the comfort of all guests, which sometimes limits the seating options available, especially during busy periods or before the shopping center closes. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide a more comfortable and seamless experience.

Food was fast! Never experienced such fast delivery of food in Portugal. Simple dishes but well executed. Not much ambiance after the fado concert finished but the place with extremely high ceilings is a beautiful setting for dinner. Drinks were strong and good.

No welcome upon entrance, just floor signs? We had to find someone to help us. Very rude waitress. Table not ready despite later reservation and hardly any patrons. Ordered, only to be told it was too late to try the tasting menu? We decided to leave. The same waitress grabbed our menus and said ok. Sad, really wanted to try this place.

We sincerely apologize for the situation, and the way our team handled your request for the tasting menu. Please note that the tasting menu is a curated experience that requires a specific preparation time and could not have been served at the time of your reservation.

Except for a fantastic ambience, the food was just great, and served with dedication. The degustation menu was just great! The gins were fantastic. But the desert was the highlight, a pumpkin-seed cake and an amazing gin, evening the taste, with it. I much recommend this place!
