10/10Orquidea is a true culinary gem among the thousands of restaurants in Lisbon. We dined there twice during a recent visit and each time we were warmly welcomed by the staff and enjoyed a memorable meal. The food was seasoned and cooked to perfection, and paired with suggested spirits. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Cheers Teleri, We are very pleased that you liked what we presented, unfortunately in Lisbon the best is not always presented to dignify our great Portugal. We'll be here for a future visit to Lisbon Regards HB

During our two-night break in Lisbon this March, my wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Orquidea on our final evening. From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and took the time to guide us through their extensive menu, explaining the variety of dishes available and recommending around three to start, as their concept is tapas-style dining. Their suggestions were spot on, and they also recommended a red wine to complement our choices--it turned out to be an excellent pairing. Every dish was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavour. We enjoyed them so much that we couldn't resist ordering an extra two! Each bite showcased the quality of local ingredients and the care that goes into the cooking. Neither of us are particularly drawn to desserts, so instead, we opted for the baked goat's cheese and the cheese platter--both featuring exceptional local cheeses. To round off the meal, we indulged in a couple of glasses of port--after

Orquidea • Owner
Hi Inaki, We try to do our best to ensure that each customer has a varied experience of Portugal's culinary culture. I realise that many countries are not yet ready for the culture of sharing dishes, but we try to open up the necessary mentalities. Come back again. regards HB

5/10I really appreciated the ambience, and the customer service was decent. However, the food was disappointing. Most dishes tasted stale and lacked freshness. Despite requesting no bread, it was brought to our table anyway, which was a bit odd—something to be mindful of. My friend had the pork belly, which was overwhelmingly salty. The octopus was passable, but the seasoning detracted from the dish, and the crumbs added didn’t complement the flavours, making it feel unbalanced. We finished with the beef tongue and chestnut purée, but the flavour profile was inconsistent. The beef was sliced too thinly, while the purée was overly heavy, resulting in a lack of harmony on the plate. Overall, a disappointing experience despite the lovely setting.

Hi Shukria, Unfortunately we can´t satisfy all customers. About your opinion I find it quite unpleasant! If you have not appreciated our flavours is one thing, to say bad of the quality of even is another! Here we do all more fresh than possible. About the couvert, apologize for not understanding your accent, but when I arriving with that to your table and explain every items, you can tell me again if you dont want, you could not eat it (and there I understand you dont want!) But......you eat all the couvert!!!!! The other plates, unfortunately were not to your liking. If you had told us that you did not like it when askeed, we coulkd have solved somehow. You ate everything and didnt say anything. Enjoyed Lisboa! HB

6.5/10Unfortunately the ambience is not nice. It was cold and they had white, very bright light. It’s such a beautiful location, but absolutely not cozy. Please take of the horrible light and place some little table lamps on each table. Service should have a nice smile, even if it’s December and the restaurant is empty. We did not feel welcomed in the beginning. Later the service became more friendly. The food was okay, but nothing special from our perspective.

10/10We completely enjoyed this restaurant for several reasons. First, the food, which served sharing style and allowed us to be adventurous. We tried things we would not normally try, for example the duck rice and the rabbit chamaça, which were both surprisingly excellent choices Second, our waiters, who were very friendly and really cared to make sure our dinner was pleasant. Third, inside the restaurant itself it is very beautiful. With a very high arched ceiling and a modern trendy feel. Definitely going back the next time we are in Lisbon, and bringing our friends too.

10/10We came in a party of 4 and are not huge eaters and were pleasantly surprised with the tapas-style menu. That allowed us to order a few dishes to share. Each dish was really well prepared and tasty. We particularly loved the sardinhas on bread (note this is seasonal so may not be available) as well as the batata doce dish. The boutique wines were also good. Service was excellent. We will be back !

Hi Nancy, Thank you for your words . They are the ones that keep us going. Regards HB
