10/10I was in Portugal with my husband and we went to dinner at Cicero Bistro and had a wonderful night. It is without a doubt a restaurant that goes far beyond the gastronomic experience. The menu has delicious dishes, the atmosphere is super charming, the service is very attentive, we received great tips and suggestions that we were very pleased with. As if that weren't enough, the place has a collection of works by the Pernambuco painter Cícero Dias, after whom the house is named, and other works by contemporary artists who add culture and art of the highest quality.

10/10Paolo and his staff were inviting and highly attentive. The food was delicious and we enjoyed a fantastic bottle of wine that was recommended. I would easily send any family or friends in Lisbon to Cicero! Paolo and team will treat you like family.

10/10A hidden-gem in Lisbon! We tried the spring menu, and it was a perfect surprise. It is much more than a simple restaurant; it is also an amazing art gallery.
Cícero Bistrot • Owner
Thank you vey much for the visit and interest in our gallery.

6.5/10Below my expectations unfortunately in view of excellent reviews. Only one red wine was offered which was average. We chose menu: have not been impressed by the main cause. Apologies for writing this.
Cícero Bistrot • Owner
Thank you very much for the visit and feedback. Maybe It was our mistaken in communication: the MENU, 45 euros for a three-course plus twos classes of wine, in question is thought to be a more affordable experience so that customers can have the first contact with the house. It is clearly stated that it has only one wine, with the brand included, in the description. We believe that expectations should be managed accordingly: an economy-class passenger should not expect a business-class experience even if they are on the same plane; otherwise, it will be a deception. The parameters should be other economy-class experiences on other planes. We will improve our communication..

10/10A very late in the day booking. Not sure what to expect. What we experienced was a cultural trip and wonderful food. The staff were amazin, very attentive and looked after us impeccably. All I can say is, you must go here when you visit Lisbon. We will return on our next visit.

7/10Staff super nice, we had a great evening, the duck starter was amazing. The two mains were lacklustre, a vegan curry with only mushrooms and potatoes was begging for something more, the pork was lacking flavour and the sauce wasn’t that great. Overall we would go again but order other mains.
Cícero Bistrot • Owner
Thank you for the visit and feedback, we appreciate it. We loved participating in your celebration with our exhilarating chocolate mouse. Please come back to try other dishes. Our ambience is full of art, next time we can have a tour and explain the pieces in detail. Looking forward for a second chance.

8.5/10Very stylishly decorated place. Service was excellent, lots of nice dishes on the menu. While we enjoyed the meal, we also appreciated the 30% discount as it would’ve been somewhat overpriced otherwise.
Cícero Bistrot • Owner
Thank you very much for your visit and feedback. We would love to have you back to try other dishes.

8/10The restaurant is very well designed, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. However, both my companion and I were left disappointed with the main course. It was almost there...

10/10I tried the special suggested by the chef: The Picasso—a lovely combination of Portuguese seafood and French technics. The bistrot is cozy but has a very good wine list and full-bodied Chardonnay was a very nice match.

10/10My experience at this off-beaten artsy bistrot in Lisbon was nothing short of exceptional. It was a true celebration of art, culture, and gastronomy, all seamlessly blended together to create a memorable and enchanting evening. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience in Lisbon, I highly recommend venturing off the beaten path and discovering this hidden gem.

10/10It's always nice to go back and try a new dish. Cicero Bistrot has successfully merged the worlds of art and gastronomy, creating an unforgettable dining experience. The wild salmon and scarlet shrimp, inspired by Picasso's artwork, is a testament to their creativity and culinary prowess. I highly recommend indulging in this culinary masterpiece and immersing yourself in the artistic ambiance of this exceptional restaurant.
Cícero Bistrot • Owner
Great to have you back to try our new dish. It is a hit already! Thank you a lot.

10/10Nice to come back, the tuna tartar was a great addition to the menu. The sommelier suggested a pinot grigio white wine produced in Alentejo. Nice match! The service has a "Sao Paulo" standard.

10/10Always a fantastic experience to repeat and make new discoveries: the Lírio with clams is an excellent new dish. Kudos to the manager Bianca.

4/10Poorly executed food and no love recipes. Very beautiful place which may explained the prices, cocktails prices are ridiculous. Wine list very limited. Maybe get a proper food consulting to bring this place to where it can go.
Cícero Bistrot • Owner
We lament this kind of comment on the platform: our wine list has more than 50 choices, from premium French wine to off-beat Portuguese choices, and it's public on our website, so people can check it. Regarding the food, we have almost 200 reviews, and ours is an outlier. We are sorry, but we did everything possible to accommodate our requests, even the ridiculous one: changing a dish that had not been touched or tasted because you demanded it be changed. We have a rule: clients, no matter how much they spend, are not welcome to treat our staff without respect. Furthermore, we kindly ask you to pursue other options in Lisbon and maybe get proper consulting in people's feedback.

10/10Cícero Bistrot feeds our souls. The experience is both gastronomic and aesthetic. The ambiance breathes art and culture in every detail. It is like going to an art gallery, a restaurant and a round of talks at one go. You can find the world in Lisbon, at Cícero - and everything along with great wines! Alaor Leite
