10/10Gorgeous decor, a warm welcome and even better food made this one of my favourite restaurant experiences to date in Lisbon. And I've been here for over ten years. Not so much Lebanese food per se as fresh food from all over with a distinct Lebanese touch, we loved the focus on low or no waste cooking policies. Cocktails were also outstanding. We've already booked a return visit with friends.

4/10They make 2 instales on the bill. They took the classes out of the table and dropped the first dish my mistake but was supposed to come fast.Overcharged. The food took so long to come and the food was nothing special as we thought.
Touta • Owner
Dear Rebeca, Thank you for your feedback. We are responding to clarify, not to defend, as we believe in transparency and learning from every experience. We sincerely apologize again for the mistake on the bill—we acknowledged it at the time and corrected it immediately. As for the hummus that was accidentally dropped, we replaced it at no charge as a gesture of goodwill. Regarding the glasses, we only removed them after you mentioned you wouldn’t be having any beverages, simply to make more room for your dishes. We understand that not every experience meets expectations, and while we strive to create memorable moments for all our guests, we also acknowledge that we can’t always please everyone.

9.5/10Food was fantastic. Definitely not your standard Lebanese. But the prices were a little higher than what I expected based on the reported average price.

5/10We adore Lebanese food and hospitality but forget those delicious flavour layers of tahini, preserved lemons, fresh herbs, olive oil and the usual “welcome to my home” ambience. The chicken dish (20€) was half a breast of crumbed chicken in two small squares of toast buttered with mayo and the fries (10€) were a few fingers of some kind of boiled compressed potato deep fried with not a hint of the advertised lemon or herbs. Our friends had lamb meatballs (25€) and cabbage (20€) To say the food was disappointing was an understatement and it was served by a team who gave the impression they were doing us a favour. The decor and initial welcome are lovely but the rest of the night will go down as one of our worst dining experiences in Lisbon.

Dear Claudia, We appreciate all feedback, but we were a bit surprised by your comments. When you arrived, you mentioned that you weren’t hungry and you couldn’t eat, and the dishes you ordered didn’t actually include any tahini, olive oil, or preserved lemons—so we wonder how you expected to fully experience those flavors. There’s a big difference between sharing a full meal and sampling a three plates among four people, and we believe a review is most fair when it reflects a proper dining experience. Just to clarify, the chicken in the sando you ordered is a 200g whole breast, served in homemade milk bread with garlic sauce (not butter) and cucumber relish on the side. Best.

10/10Touta, the nickname of the chef, signifying an acorn, has developed the everyday dishes into sumptuous preparations. The restaurant is also well decorated and has a little shop with ethnic products.

Last night, I had the profound pleasure of dining at Touta, a Lebanese restaurant that offers an unforgettable fine dining experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. We began our culinary journey with expertly crafted cocktails that perfectly set the tone for the evening. The appetizers were outstanding, each bite showcasing Chef Cynthia’s unparalleled mastery of Lebanese flavors. The hommos, in particular, was a standout, setting a new standard for this beloved dish. The salads were a delightful mix of fresh ingredients and nostalgic flavors, enhanced with creative twists that made them truly memorable. The main courses continued to impress, with each dish offering a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that left us in awe. To top off the evening, we indulged in a selection of amazing desserts that were the perfect ending to our meal. Each dessert was a masterpiece, combining traditional Lebanese flavors with modern presentation. Touta is a celebration of Lebanese cuisine, elevated with contemporary flair. For anyone looking to explore the rich and diverse tastes of Lebanese cuisine, Touta is an absolute must-visit. After dining at Touta, take the iconic Tram 28, which stops just 20m away, to enjoy the beautiful scenes of Lisbon by night.

10/10What a marvelous addition to the Campo de Ourique food scene! A beautiful space (very noisy, but quiet is hard to find anywhere) divided into three areas, modern Lebanese cooking that tastes as wonderful as it looks, and superb service! The menu includes some well known favorites as well as new hits, and there's Lebanese wine to boot. Hope they open for lunch, too, in the near future!
Touta • Owner
Dear Stacy, your review means a lot to us. We are working to solve the noise issue as soon as we can. Thank you for this beautiful feedback and waiting to see you again very soon.
