Just thoroughly enjoyed my dinner tonight at Enoteca. We got a recommendation from friends who visited last week while they were in Lisbon and this place did NOT disappoint. The started, entree and dessert were all perfectly cooked, visually engaging and tasted so so yummy. I would come back here again when I am in Lisbon. The wait staff was so nice and helpful which made the experience so enjoyable for our family. THANK YOU Enoteca!!!! We will see you again soon.

Clube de Jornalistas

We will be open for dinner on Sunday, the 14th of February.

Reviewed By SuartA

We visited Clube de Journalistas three years ago and decided to go back with some trepidation - we have frequently been disappointed when revisiting restaurants and hotels. Fortunately, we weren't disappointed; Clube de Journalistas was every bit as good as we remembered. The food is excellent and the service efficient and friendly. If the weather is good (and it nearly always is in Lisbon), the sunken garden is a lovely place to have dinner, with a calm and relaxed atmosphere.It was a bit quieter than we remember, it deserves to be full every night. We would thoroughly recommend Clube de Journalistas if you are looking for slightly special occasion that won't break the bank,

Reviewed By AlanandLyn

After slogging our way up and down some of the hills of Lisbon we lingered outside this establishment and decided it was time for lunch. A great decision.We ordered from the menu (rather than the display) and everything seemed to be prepared to order. My wife had an avocado and ham sandwich with Angel Tea; she said it was delicious and will go hunting for the tea now we're home. I had avocado and smoked salmon toast, equally delicious and accompanied by sencha (green tea). A great place and we'll seek it out again next time we're in Lisbon.Dear AlananLyn, thank you very much for this review!Tea lovers are always more than welcome here :-)

LOCO Restaurante

Reviewed By pgraffman

I must say that we were very disappointed in the restaurant. You can tell that the staff is very thoughtful serious about service and the cuisine. Sustainable and non-wasteful are prominent in their introduction. But execution is another matter. Flavors tend to be on the over extracted side. Specific examples are using cod skin and shrimp heads in their broths and foams, lend them self to over extracted “fishiness” And OMG, do they like foams. Sometimes I felt like I was having cappuccino with foamed milk infused with odd flavors, and couldn’t taste the coffee, so to speak. Most of the courses, I would want to forget. But some worked amazingly well. The shrimp ceviche was amazing as well as the lamb. Lots of dishes with lots of intense flavors, but that was the problem. When you have a dish, you should be able to taste the main ingredient. When they served cod, with foam made out of cod skin, the over fishy taste of the cod skin in the intense creamy sauce over- powered the cod. I might have been eating pickled herring, without the pickling spices.The sommelier was great. She had unusual pairings. Some great white wines. Portuguese wines are somewhat of a mystery, even to a “wine guy” like me. She served interesting wines that we enjoyed. She asked me if there are any wines that we don’t drink, and I jested with her by saying “Orange Wines”, she looked me square in the eye and said “Why not?” I told her that I was just joking and she served us a very interesting orange wine that paired perfectly with 4 of the many courses. However, the best wine of the evening was a 2006 vintage of some red wine. ( Another pet peeve, they wouldn’t give us a list of the wines they were serving us, nor any of the food items they served us while dining) That wine was excellent, but they should have decanted it. I can’t remember any time that I have been to a Michelin restaurant that they didn’t decant a wine, of that caliber, before they served it. We have eaten at so many great restaurants in Lisbon. Our bill was ~800 euros for 4 of us. We had a mush more amazing meal with four bottles of wine at “Lisboa Há Mesa”, last evening for 143 Euros. Granted it was not the service experience, or the ambience, but in our book it is “All about the food, baby”. We have eaten at Michelin restaurants all over the world, and it is the experience that we had in this restaurant and, more recently, others, that are causing us to frequent Michelin restaurants less and less. It seems that the focus is more on “smoke and mirrors” as opposed to food with well-integrated flavors. In this case it wasn’t smoke and mirrors, but the foam with odd flavors that mostly prevailed over the basic ingredient of the dish. It troubles me to post a review like this because it can hurt a very serious establishment as Loco. I am hoping this review can be constructive in making their restaurant better in the long run. Intense is not a word that pairs well with food.

We enjoyed the intensity of the flavours, especially in the early snacks and surprises. We felt we were attended by too many different people and the dishes were served in swift succession. Sometimes in a Michelin-Starred Restaurant, a chef may come to the table to serve one particular dish. In this place, however, we were served by several waiters and sommeliers. We were greeted and shown to the table by someone who was not a maitre d as such. We were shown out by a different person and, in between we were served by six or seven different people. Everybody gets the same treatment and script. You can overhear the food introductions at other tables, before these are delivered to you in precisely similar terms. I felt this made our experience formulaic rather than special. To sum up, the first few surprise dishes were very enjoyable but the main courses were served too quickly and the experience fell flat half way through. When we were leaving, the person who showed us out the door asked if we had enjoyed ourselves. I replied that in our country the top restaurants advise setting aside two and a half to three hours to enjoy a tasting menu. She responded with disdain that their service takes one hour and a half which is sufficient.
