    The food was delicious! Every plate that came out was better than the last one or just as good! Really happy that I booked this gem of a restaurant. Staff were really lovely too and informative about the menu. The cheesecake at the end of dinner was such a lovely way to end the meal!

    I had been extremely impressed on previous visits, but the quality of food and options of drinks seems to have declined in the last 6 months.

    Amazing food- such delicate and well designed flavours. Service was brilliant - busy restaurant but not too crowded or noisy. Would highly recommend

    Best tartare I have ever eaten. Perfect modern dining. Concept nailed. Clean, crisp, delicious. Appropriately priced. I wish this was in London. Get three tartares. One is never enough

    The atmosphere was very cool and had a warm but modern feel. The menu is modern and deconstructed with lots of seafood options. Since there aren't a lot of descriptions on the menu, you have to rely on the server to know it well and be able to describe different items and make suggestions. Both of our servers were able to speak fantastic English and William our primary server was warm and took his time helping us make choices. While it probably would appeal to a more sophisticated palate, I would recommend giving it a shot and trying something you may not normally try.

    Awful place, literally were waiting for food 2 (two) hours. Still didn’t get our food and decided to pay and leave.

    The food was all perfect little bites that linger in your mouth and on your mind long after you finish them. I was able to try innovative dishes along with their take on traditional Portuguese food and loved all of it. I will recommend to anyone who will listen to me.

    Nice place, some dishes really good, some average, efficient and attentive staff but the order of the dishes coming from the kitchen could be better. Music a bit too loud and with an annoying beat. Didn’t match with place or crowd.

  • Brent N.3 reviews

    We collected articles on sites, attractions and restaurants for almost a year before our Portugal visit and then made our choices and reservations about a month ahead of time. The menu and food at Oficio was carefully curated and the staff were very helpful and patient explaining the dishes. We particularly like the iceberg nd avocado tacos and the “seaweed spaghetti with cheese sauce”. Our only real criticism was that the background music was terrible - not conducive to a relaxing experience, too loud, too much beat and partly why we skipped desert. However for an interesting dinner that is also good value, you should go anyway!

    The services was very good staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. the wine list is not very descriptive and the food was over all good but some dishes with a little disappointing, definitely don’t miss out on the dessert they are very good

  • Liz B.1 review

    6/10

    We were both very excited to try Oficio after reading about reviews, but the service was incredibly sub-par. It took at least 20 min for anyone to come by our table and just get drink orders. That set the tone for the remainder of the service. We had put in an order for a particular entree special and got all the way through the tasting menu only to find it had been allocated elsewhere. Instead they gave us a very tough piece of meat. The food itself was forgettable, not tasteless, but just not memorable. In general, I found the entire experience to be hurried, the service and food preparation included.

    The food and service was excellent with extremely tasty dishes all around. Main negative was that we still had to wait even with a reservation.

    I stayed in Portugal for 10days, here is the worst restaurant, unfortunately. Portion is really small and taste is not good. I don't know why rating is so high. You can refer mu photos, 4 dishes and 2glass of wine, more than 80euros.

    Friendly, welcoming staff & laid back atmosphere with unusual ingredients prepared beautifully. A great experience for the eye & mouth. The sauces were always a delight. We left the selection of dishes up to the staff and we could not have been happier. Highly recommend.

    This restaurant has excellent food but the experience was utterly underwhelming. Music was too loud and service was so poor we left after waiting 20 minutes without being asked for our dessert order. They did give us a discount to compensate but I’d have preferred getting served. Dishes arrived every 15 minutes so sadly we also left feeling hungry.

    A soulless place. Fashionable in a way but poor, ignorant service. Food was ok but meagre and unexceptional. We would never go back.

    We had been recommended Oficio by two groups of friends and it did not disappoint. The service was amazing and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating to our dietary requirements. A must stop in Lisbon.

    Fantastic food and good service. We trusted the waiter for food and wine and she put together a lovely meal. Excellent tasts,, but serving was a little fast some times.

    The food was not that inventive or for that matter delicious. Starter lettuce wraps in iceberg lettuce were bland for ~10euros a piece. It didn't get more interesting as we went along the adventure. Our server continually asked us if we were sure we didn't want more water, even though our glasses were full of water to the point where it got really uncomfortable. I would not return.

  • Jade C.1 review

    6.5/10

    I am honestly stating my feelings in hopes that it will help patrons of this restaurant to make a thoughtful choice, and for me, the manager of the restaurant, to strive for food and service worthy of a famous restaurant. The restaurant provides excellent service. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was below expectations. I was surprised that all the food was so salty. The food was far too salty for the average Portuguese palate to eat. The plating was excellent, but the flavors were so poor. I hope the food will be better on my next visit. It was hard to believe that the restaurant was Michelin registered.

    Lovely as usual and very accommodating service. We did not want to hear loud music and the staff were kind to seat us in a whole different area of the restaurant where they had much more control over music volume. Food is pretty fabulous as usual

    The food is just not good enough. No wow moments, just good that was fine but nothing that was outstanding enough to justify any of the prices, except possibly the veal tartare. Music quite loud, light too bright, and the food is just not good enough, frankly. Quite disappointed. Would definitely not recommend.
