7.5/10
We had high expectations for ZunZum, considering its association with the Michelin guide, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The food was good, but not extraordinary—certainly not at the level I anticipated. The service, however, was a real letdown. There was zero attention to detail. For instance, after finishing the bread and butter, no one bothered to clear the empty plates until the very end of the meal. We asked for the sommelier’s recommendation for two wines, expecting some guidance. Instead, he showed up 10 minutes later with two wines already chosen. The red wine was good, but the white wine, while decent, did not pair well at all with my wife’s dish. Overall, the experience lacked the refinement and attentiveness I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber...and price range.

6/10We had high expectations when we decided to pay our first visit to ZumZum as Chef Marlene is in the spotlight after receiving her first star. We started wonderfully with the super fresh pink prawns full of flavour, but then suddenly we had to wait almost 30 minutes for the second starter, 2 simple suckling pig croquets. The presentation was good but my croquet was cold inside (a sign that they rushed it to be served as quickly as possible). The restaurant was busy and you may attribute the delay because of this, but people that did arrive after us were eating their dessert when we finished our second starter. As Chef Marlene is from the North, the classic Francesinha was a must have, with the expectation that I would taste something different and special. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. Lack of flavour and nothing different nor special. The chocolate crème brûlée for dessert was good. Overall, a bit disappointing, but we will be back to give Chef Marlene and her team a second chance.

10/10100% recommended! I’ve been here multiple times and it keeps surprising me. It really worth the visit. The Lobster Pasta is a must as well as the “Tartelattes” and the Lamb Katsu.

10/10The food was off the hook, unreal and bodaciously delicious. The service and pacing of the meal was magnifique. We got the Chef’s surprise tasting menu and every course was excellent

5/10Not a good food
zunzum gastrobar • Owner
Hello, Maxim, we always appreciate feedback, but with just "not a good food," it's difficult for us to understand what went wrong or how we can improve. A bit more detail would be helpful. Otherwise, such a vague comment feels unfair to our team, who work hard to provide quality food and service. If you’d like to share more specifics, we’d be happy to listen. Zunzum Gastrobar

+2Absolutely unreal. Electrifying food, enthusiastic service, beautiful interior and plating. You can taste how much thought they have put into their cuisines, the texture, taste of their combinations, the creativity and freshness… 0 complaints. AND with a reasonable price overall. As their menu changes from time to time, just ask for recommendations when you come. Doesn’t disappoint.

Anson, thank you so much, we are beyond proud of your words. It was a real pleasure. Zunzum gastrobar

10/10This restaurant stands for great food in a relaxed atmosphere and an excellent service. Ask for de chef's menu with a cocktail pairing (in stead of wine pairing)!

5/10Took the ” chefs choice ” of 6 course. Starters 1. avokado Toast - rate : 4/10 , what toast? It was a tjock crackers , and the Taste of crab does not go with roe and avocado, please try out more guacamole style instead. 2.Tuna Tartar 9/19. Yes! Awesome in every way. 3. Gyoza 1/10. Tasteless with brussel. Mains 1. Curry with cod 7/10, excited to try out a curry with fish and dry spices of korriander and coconut, creative and pan-global character. Good Job., 2. Ribs and so classic and down to earth 8/10. A traditional but so lovely dish cooked with love . Desserts . Two dishes came at the same time - chocolate brûlée with carnation ice cream and flavours 6/10. Another with raspberry and pistachio. 6/10. Unfortunately the waiter forgot basics like filling the water and also trying to charged for an extra bottle of wine- Not okey so did not give any tip. The ambiance and especially lightning design need improvement.
zunzum gastrobar • Owner
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We appreciate both the positive and constructive comments, as they help us improve. We’re glad you enjoyed the tuna tartare and ribs, and we truly appreciate your recognition of our efforts in creating unique flavors, especially with the curry dish. At the same time, we’re sorry to hear that some of the other dishes, such as the avocado toast and gyoza, didn’t meet your expectations, they are two of our best sellers. We also apologize for the service issues you encountered, including the missed water refills and the billing mistake. That is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we will address this internally to ensure better attention to detail. Additionally, we appreciate your feedback on the ambiance and lighting and will consider ways to improve it. Zunzum Gastrobar

Beautiful presentation, excellent taste combinations complimenting the main features, wonderful extensive cocktail selection in addition to wines we expect to see. Attentive staff, clean facilities, hip music and decor. Perfect for cruise ship access as well as Uber dropoff. Just ensure your driver drops off at the Zumzum location at the terminal, not across the busy thoroughfare!
zunzum gastrobar • Owner
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the presentation, flavors, and our cocktail selection. It’s also great to know that our staff, atmosphere, and location added to your experience. We appreciate your helpful tip about the drop-off location—definitely something for future guests to keep in mind! Zunzum Gastrobar

8.5/10very well executed food, fun and creative. We sat outside on the patio, very nice! There is a large road on the other-side of the hedges so some car noise
zunzum gastrobar • Owner
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the creativity in our dishes and had a fun experience with us. Sitting on the terrace is such a lovely way to dine, and while the road can occasionally remind us we’re still in the city, we hope the atmosphere and food made it a truly special moment for you.

5/10Service was terrible. We ordered our food and our main course came over one hour later. When we approached the waitress to ask them the status of main course. She said the kitchen had a miscommunication and there the food was delayed in being made. Sne offered no sincere apology for the long delay. And started treated us like we are high maintenance and rolled her eyes at when requested a plate for sharing food. Good food but extremely terrible service. I will not be returning
zunzum gastrobar • Owner
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the long wait and the way the situation was handled. This does not reflect the level of service we strive to offer, and we understand how frustrating it must have been. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will address this with our team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, but we deeply regret that the service fell short of expectations. We hope you might give us another chance in the future so we can provide the level of service you deserve. Zunzum Gastrobar

8/10There were hardly any people there on a Saturday night which was concerning. The food was served in very small portions and was expensive. Our group left hungry.
zunzum gastrobar • Owner
Hi Bonnie, we always like to receive comments from our customers and evolve with a constructive feedback. However, in your case, I must remind you that you were warned that there would be little food considering that you ordered 3 dishes for 6 people and nowhere in the world 3 dishes are enough for 6, this comment seems extremely unfair and malicious to me. The prices of our dishes are published on all platforms, including on the fork where you made your reservation.

10/10A party of three of us went and enjoyed the six moment tasting menu. We paired this with a bottle of the red Marlene Vieira wine, and complimented our dessert with a small aperitif. The food was absolutely sublime, particularly the swordfish ceviche.

7.5/10The food was as excellent as ever, but the service was a poor match. With the exception of the person in charge of the dining room, no one else could answer questions about the food or wine, and the primary server seemed more suited to a low-cost cafe. A second server who responded to our request for another glass of wine wandered the room for several minutes, finally brought an empty glass, and then wandered again. Eventually, the one person there who knew what he was doing and was genuinely helpful and pleasant came to fill the glass. Our last experience there was incredible in all ways, but the service made it far less so this time.
