This place is great! We sat at the bar which I highly recommend, and ordered the 9 course tasting menu. Every dish was amazing, and I highly recommend trying this establishment. This is what a Michelin star restaurant is about. A culinary experience we won't soon forget!

What an experience! A must visit in Lisboa. From the extremely charismatic and knowledgeable staff to the explorative and vibrant food. The wine pairing was perfect for each of the momentos. Highly recommend adding it! Our most memorable bites: gaspacho drink, squid “feijoada” and their wagyu. Loved it so much, we visited another of Chef Marlene’s spots in town!

A truly fantastic evening - a great seat at the open kitchen, wonderful staff, technically accomplished and delicious food and some great (relatively inexpensive) wines - fantastic.

One of the best nights i’ve ever had! It was my boyfriend’s birthday and they made us feel very special. All the dishes were amazing as well, with the top 3 being the beetroot merengue, shrimp with caviar and the feijoada (signature dish). Thank you Marlene ✨

Sit at the counter, if possible, to watch the chef and her staff assemble every dish. Every dish was tasty and a work of art.

As a high-end restaurant Marlene is quite pricey but everything is worth it. We had 9-course tasting menu with wine pairing - a perfect choice. The menu was also adjusted for our vegetarian friend without cutting the corners in tastiness and layout. The service was very attentive. For sure, we will pay another visit in Marlene soon.

Amazing customer service, from all the waiters within the restaurant and the chance to interact directly with Marlene is a plus. All the dishes had a special and unique touch to them, making a call to well known Portuguese dishes (in a disguised way). Will come back for sure.

Super nice atmosphere and staff. I believe the perfectionist food can be a bit too much for me, but when we get to the deserts, we melt and surely find room for it! Marlene the chef is the most genuine person who was kind enough to share a moment with us. I surely recommend the whole journey in the restaurant.
Marlene • Owner
Hello, Sonia, thank you for your thoughtful words. We're delighted you enjoyed the atmosphere and desserts, and truly appreciate your recognition of Marlene's passion and presence. It means a lot to us that you embraced the experience—we hope to welcome you back soon. Marlene,

The food is delicious, innovative, beautiful and exquisite. Each course was a memorable experience! The service and care was impeccable! I have eaten at many of the best restaurants in the world over the years and this was one of the 10 best meals and dinner experiences of my life. Thank you Marlene, Chef and the entire team. For any foodie in Lisbon, this is the place to dine.

Let them know it my was girlfriends birthday and they sat us right at the front, so we could watch the chefs work which was really cool! Then they brought her a birthday cake at the end with some champagne which was a really nice touch! Never eaten food that good in my life! Expensive but worth every penny, from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave they are very hospitable!
Marlene • Owner
Thank you so much. It was a pleasure having you both. Marlene,

We had a wonderful gastronomic experience. 12 moments that just kept on building in flavours, presentation and the most polite and dedicated service. We believe that Marlene is already Michelin star level. Hope the star arrives...
