4.5/10Poor menu for main courses, if you are looking for an expensive wine bar is ok. Very crowded, each table close to the other, very noisy. Good quality food but expensive taking into consideration the atmosphere.

9.5/10My expertise in wine is close to 0, so basically no clue where to start; my wife is stronger, but still appreciates recommendations. The suggestions we received were delicious and went beautifully with the meal, which was in itself really good. Staff was a pleasure to interact with throughout. The only ding was the volume of the guitar player could have been a tad lower. Would that stop my going again or highly recommending Grapes & Bites? Not at all. Go! Definitely go!

10/10I'm a sommelier and wanted to taste wines that are hard to find in the US.. Roberto made suggestions that were spot on. We split four glasses of wine and great charcuterie and our bill was 61 Euros. A wonderful experience.

10/10Great little spot for live music! We stopped in for dessert and a glass of wine. However, that quickly became 2 glasses of wine - we couldn’t leave!

10/10Grapes & Bites is a nice little restaurant located in the Bairro Alto in Lisbon. Great location, great vibes too… Pedestrian area. Crowd mostly international. The food is “Tapas” style, even so the portions are generous, and they have a good variety on the menu. Huge wine selection to pair with the dishes and the waiters are quite knowledgeable and gave excellent suggestions on wine-paring We were there on a Thursday night, they had live music, a great singer accompanying herself on the guitar. Easy listening music, good sound level, able to have a conversation without having to shout over the music which is a bonus… Will go back…

10/10In every country we visit I like to find a small place that provides under the radar amazing food and wine and this was it for Lisbon for us, for sure. The owner gave us an amazing an introduction to wines of different territories. He almost got excited and felt challenged every time we asked him to recommend certain wines. The food accompanied was delicate and very yummy also. The Cod fritters were phenomenal!!

10/10Amazing restaurant! The waiter knows everything about wines and tells you a lot about the history and how the bottles you order were made! We came there twice and had an amazing experience

10/10It was early evening when I was there so the restaurant was quiet. However, the guitarist and singer certainly added to the atmosphere. I had a selection of tapas all of which were very good - beef strips, prawns in garlic and cod fritters. To finish I had the chocolate cake which was served with ice cream and was delicious.

10/10I went on a date and had a phenomenal time. The waiter was soo happy to help us and gave us great tips on what to order. All the food we ordered was absolutely delicious but our favorite was the Tuna ceviche, it was incredible. In addition there was live music and the performer was incredible! 10/10 would recommend!

9.5/10This wine bar is a really fun place. Our server introduced us to some new wines from several regions in Portugal both North and South and all of them were very good. The guitar player had the 40 or so guests rocking on the Saturday night that we went. Food was really tasty as well. I would definitely recommend this place. Make sure to make a reservation ahead.

10/10We had two layovers in Lisbon on our way to and from Madeira. On our first night we stumbled on Grapes & Bites by accident, but this time we definitely set out to find it again and waited 2 hrs for them to open. Ricardo and his colleagues took excellent care of us. Everything we tried on both visits was very tasty, but the pica-pau is worth an extra mention. And ooh, those Portuguese wines that Ricardo offfered us! We were a bit sad to leave sunny Madeira a bit early due to the Stormy weather forecasts, but Ricardo & co more than made up for it. Grapes & Bites Lisboa was the perfect ending to our lovely holiday week!

6/10We knew there could be live music at this place, even though we normally would bot want that with dinner. The reviews sounded like the food was really good so we thought that would compensate. I asked for a table far away from the music but the waitress asked us to sit right next to him, but she found us another table when we told her that we did not want to sit right next to the musician. But the food was average. The pimientos padron were listed on the menu as stuffed but instead had melted cheese on top. The sardine filets were on top of corn bread which we found a bit too heavy and dry. The sardine mousse was very tasty, so I would recommend that. The wine that the waiter recommended was very good. This restaurant was not for us. It might please guests who like to dine to live music by bands like Cold Play. I’m actually a fan of the band but prefer to listen to them elsewhere, not at dinner in a Lisbon restaurant.

10/10Lovely welcome by Claudia and then Riccardo looked after us like royalty. Riccardo gave us some excellent advice on what wine we might like and he was spot on. The food was excellent, I had the Vegy soup and the grilled garlic prawns and shared the asparagus, cod croquettes, and padrons with cheese with my husband. We had such a lovely evening and I recommend this restaurant. I felt sorry for the many other restaurant patrons we passed on our way home sitting under bright lights and umbrellas. This restaurant has a lovely ambience and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
