Amazing food and service. Highly recommend

We sat at the bar instead of a table. Personal description of each dish served. Witnessing the preparation of each dish from the bar. Attention throughout the meal is wonderful from the staff. All around just perfect

This was an incredible dining experience and I'd recommend wholeheartedly. The food was amazing all through the courses, along with wine pairing. Everything was presented beautifully and the service was impeccable. All guests on our table had a wonderful evening, which lived up to expectations and so much more. Many thanks.

the beginning few dishes of the tasting menu were delicious and incentive. The larger plates (skate wings, quail, red prawns with curry) were less impressive, with the sauce often overwhelming the ingredients. Dessert was complex and tasty.

Phillip was exceptional, he answered all of our questions and made a great night all the better. So well curated and thought out. Spoilers; My favourite course was the morels and my partners was the XO sauced tartlet. Thank you to the chef and team for showcasing so many great local ingredients and international cooking styles.

+2The atmosphere was great. Also the service and food quality. The kitchen team and chef were great and very professional yet inviting and accessible. Two downsides - 1. We were offered glasses of sparkling wine to begin with before the meal. We were under assumption it was complementary as for the other wine options we had the selection from the wine menu. Eventually not only were we charged but it was the most expensive out of the wines we had and not worth it in terms of taste. If we would have known it wasn’t complementary we would have selected a better wine (which would have even cost less). 2. We celebrated a birthday. Nobody asked us if we were celebrating anything special. At the end we found out other guests received a nice gesture with a candle to celebrate their event. It felt bad not being asked nor receiving such a gesture. Next time - better to ask (just as they confirmed our allergies and what we don’t eat in the beginning).

Staff are charming, very efficient but not invasive. Their presence adds to the experience. watching the Chefs prepare the food is a bonus. The 9 course tasting menu was a joy to eat, each course bought superb flavours and was expertly explained . We had the wine flight which was well matched and the pairing explained. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would go again.

+4The menu unfolded like a carefully composed story. Each course was imaginative yet refined, highlighting remarkable technique and balance. Flavors were confident, clean, and memorable. The wine pairing was expertly chosen, with every glass thoughtfully aligned to enhance the dishes. The sommelier’s knowledge and calm presence elevated the experience even further. Service throughout the evening was flawless. The team — from chefs to servers — operated with natural confidence and genuine warmth. Everything felt effortless, perfectly timed, and highly professional, creating an atmosphere that was relaxed yet unmistakably world-class. This was not merely dinner, but a fully immersive culinary journey — intimate, sophisticated, and emotionally engaging. Every detail, from the food to the flow of the evening, was executed at the highest level. A remarkable restaurant that leaves a lasting impression and comes with our strongest recommendation. Thank you Marlene,

Marlene and the team were amazing. The food was a tour of numerous traditional dishes with exciting new techniques to demonstrate the culinary skill of the team. The favourite dish was the shrimp/caviar tartlet. The squid tagliatelle was memorable as well. The wine pairing, of mostly local wines, matched beautifully. I would say this restaurant was on par with 2 star restaurants. We will definitely be back.

+6Superb experience, different than other places when it comes to the table set up and guests sitting, but also the service and the atmosphere. Of course the food is unbelievable and it is an experience one should try in Lisbon. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and this was definitively the right place to do so. Congratulations to Marlene and her team!

Great experience. Top in Food and Ambiance as well as service. If I was to take anything away from the experience, as to what would not make it perfect, would be that somehow it felt as a standardized routine, very well played and rehearsed. Would appreciate it more with a more personalized interaction. But some people might prefer that distancing. Apart from that, the 1st and last moment where the best ones, as far as the food goes. Congrats as the chef is great!
