Wonderful food and excellent wine. Our host was charming and recommended some delicious wines. Cozy and relaxed space with good music. We had 6 glasses of wine, 3 small plates and crepe suzette for 2 at €56. What incredible value.

What a find this was! Owner/chef/sommelier/waiter was madly husrling by the time we left this little 8-table/24-seat restaurant but fortunately we were first to arrive so we had his undivided attention as we made our selections. His suggestions were spot on, and his table side prep of a beef tenderloin steak was fascinating! Limited menu, but still enough selection. We loved it!

Our expectations were high for the wine and moderate for the food. Everything exceeded our expectations. The owner/sommelier/chef is beyond amazing. We met people from all over the world, drank some of the best Portuguese wine and enjoyed fresh eats. GO! It’s worth the crazy cab drive.

I don’t have significant distinction in wine, particularly Portuguese wine, but the sommelier (owner & proprietor) at the Corkscrew has more. I suspect he has more distinction than anyone I have yet drunk with, and I am a well traveled drinker. It turns out he teaches at the local university and has consulted significantly in European culinary circles. Our meal was way better than average. And the usual trappings of “fine dining restaurants” , eg pretension and exclusivity, were completely absent. Just great pairings and an edifying lecture about local grapes and wine. You’ll probably zip past this small spot (next to the very small door) on your tuk tuk. Be sure to reserve a spot for the evening and enjoy this Lisbon gem.

A lovely dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The wine selection is top notch and the owner seems very knowledgeable about what he offers. We left our selection to him and were not disappointed (and the price was very reasonable). We ordered a cheese plate that was very nice and then the tenderloin sommelier style. The meal was great and the “show” was as well. Highly recommend this place. Be prepared to dine. As this night was a one man show, the service is paced but the attention you get is worth it.

Experience was great, wine was fabulous. Table side steak for us was ok, but the sardines blew us away. Follow the lead of the owner on wine suggestions, no, you don’t know more than him.

Small winebar with a wide selection of Portuguese wines from across the mainland and the islands. Great intimate service provided by the owner, with an excelent knowledge of each wine. Very good cheese, hams and chouriços platters. This was my third visit and I plan to continue to visit whenever I'm in Lisbon

We loved it! All Portuguese wines. The food was fresh and local. The owner knowledgeable on his produce and wines. He didn’t mind that I tried a few wines before I found one I liked.!
