    Certainly! Here's your review in English: My experience at Mama Shelter Restaurant in Lisbon was absolutely fantastic. From the vibrant decor, featuring a mix of colors, patterns, and super trendy furniture perfectly suited to every nook, to the presentation, layout, and variety of healthy food and fantastic desserts that delight customers from the moment they step in until they finish. Simply superb!!!

    Scallops were a bit too salty, and the live music was good but too loud at some times. Other than that, service was nice and quick, food was good - octopus was tender and tasty, salmon maybe a bit bland.

    A very interesting dining experience in Lisbon. This restaurant has an inspired decoration, a touched up Mediterranean menu and an excellent team to welcome you and serve you. Highly recommended for a lovely Saturday evening with friends!

    every corner is an insta catch... A place with its own DNA perfectly designed and detail achieved... however the menu is over poor. The food really needs to follow the level of this stunning experience. The Angolan waiter had very good energy. .... i would go back again....

    Unexpected Quality Food for such a trendy place. Unfortunately we were not informed upfront that the table was only for 2 hours. Not the kind of service you expected for a place like this

    This place looks like you get into a 1950 dinner in the United States and someone invited your granny to live here with her furniture, dishes, sofas and chairs. In the meantime your granny rented a room to a young disco sound and 1980 MTV videos super fan. That’s it !!! The food is like they hire and fire 3 different chefs before they finish the menu, and all of them make some twists on dishes of their predecessors. Hard to understand that nero the sepia linguini with shrimps can have tobiko eggs (yellow not black so probably a low cost substitute) lime and aneto (not sure if it’s the plant or the drink because I tasted or see none). The pasta was nice and not overcooked but need seasoning which we have on every table. It was not has bad as I was expecting, really ! The service was the fastest I’ve seen in a long time or ever and was nice, attentive and with care. My waiter barely speak any Portuguese so we need to move to English, which is becoming more frequently in Portugal. The room ambience is pretty nice, happy and warm. There is a DJ both and a big counter in the middle were the bar is and also an outdoor/garden where you can diner or enjoy the cigarette. You find a mix of young locals with mid age and seniors from abroad, probably visiting or staying in the just inaugurated hotel above. The prices are high considering this is not fine or upscale dining place but a informal and casual dinner. Couvert 4,5€. Starters goes from 11 to 24€ and main dishes goes from 20 to 27€. Dessert 6 to 7€. Wine by the glass 5,5 to 7€ bottles 22 (pretty bad) to 58€. This is a new trend to mark the wines wih huge margins which is unnecessary as portugal have the best and lowest price quality wines in the world. Considering all this is a great place to spent a night with friends or celebrate a birthday. Your meal would be from 30 to 45€ minimum. Lunch is a different menu and price with more affordable options starting on 12,5 complete lunch.

    We had higher expectations for a brunch at this hotel. We have been living in Lisbon for 2 years (from NYC) and for what the price is for the brunch buffet, it is over rated (especially for Lisbon prices). Food was mediocre at best - scale of 1 - 10 we give it a 3. For a brunch we expected more than dried slices of pizza, guac and chips, meat and cheese board (which badly needed a refresh) plus plenty of typical fried Portuguese appetizers. Salmon was dried out, tacos were in stale hard shell tortillas - you get the picture. Of course there were some more standard items but nothing great. On the positive side, the desserts and pastries were good. 7 out of 10. The bus boy/waiter was super nice, ambiance ok, busy vibe but not going back.

    Really cool location and atmosphere! The decoration are beautiful and there is a Dj that animates the space. I was expecting more from the food.. the cod fish with clams rice was nothing special.. the fish was supposed to be roasted but it looked just boiled and the rice was kind of wet.. the dessert was definitely better. If you go to this place you go for the location and environment not really for the food.
