Alma Lisboa Reviews
Two Michelin star perfection
Two star Michelin restaurant in Chiado. Incredibly creative food adventure around Portugal, with a contemporary twist, without being pretentious. Duarte was our main server, but everyone was highly attentive and professional. Linda had the Costa a
Worth finding
An excellent 2 Michelin stars restaurant that was hard to find. Door was closed and front of restaurant was nondescript. We walked past twice! It will be relocating soon as per their excellent staff. This was a fantastic gastronomic experience! This

Have you ever had a meal where every bite is an experience? Where you giggle and widen your eyes in surprise of each taste? This is the place. They have earned the right to call their dining an experience and to charge a small fortune for it. From th
Deserving of 2 Michelin Stars
One of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. Restaurant deserves its 2 Michelin stars. Meal started with 3-4 "surprises" followed by bread service, all before the main course. We did both tasting menus and the food was creative, well p
Alma was a dining experience well worth the price.
A beautiful modern dining room surpassed only by the quality of the service. The star of the show of course is the food and it can only be described as magnificent. The fish and lobster soup was delicious and quite unique in the presentation of its f

We did the a la carte menu, as it had many of the same options present in the tasting menu. Bread service/Chef's Surprises (10/10): I highly recommend getting this, as the surprises truly live up to the name. I loved the small and creative bit
Enjoyable experience with one caveat
Overall the food was of a very high standard and presented beautifully. Wine pairing was also well thought out and interesting. The snacks were the most inventive part of the meal , main meat course was slightly disappointing. The venue is bright and
Impeccable Preparation & Presentation capped by Flawless Service.
My wife and I had been looking forward to this Michelin 2-Star experience for months. Little did we know it would exceed our wildest expectations! We each enjoyed one the two tasting menus. We lost count at 12 platings (we estimate a total of 16 - 20

Alma was simply one of the most exceptional dining experiences I've ever had--likely the best meal of my life and, objectively, the finest Michelin-starred food I've encountered among the nine establishments I've visited to date. In fa
Too many servers....
Good food and good venue, but 5 different servers and 1 somelier was too much. Was like sitting beside a busy street. One of the courses was not good but all in all food was high quality
I dined here and did the wine pairing.
Was a really unforgettable night. The courses came at a nice even pace and the wines paired with it were quite solid.
Flavorful Food
I decided to order à la carte at lunch. The meal started with four "surprises," all of which were very good. My appetizer of foie gras with apple and beetroot, among other ingredients, was outstanding; it is one of the chef's signat
Great Meal!
The food and service were oustanding! The restaurant is located down a side street, to get in you have to ring a doorbell and someone will answer and take you right to your table. There are multiple people serving and waiting on you and the service
Best meal experience of my life
Best meal experience of my life. Be prepared to be there for a couple of hours at the least. But, you will not regret the time spent. Every dish, you began with one taste and it ended in another - I don't know how else to explain it. I let the r
Expensive, yes.
Worth it? This restaurant is reservation only and does not take walk ins. The service is incredible and the staff go out of their way to make sure you feel comfortable. The food may not look filling, but I assure you that you will be leaving with
Excellent dinner in Lisbon
I came here with my wife for a very romantic dinner. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. The flavors were really amazing.. We ordered the two menus, so we had the chance to try everything . We particularly appreciated the main courses and the des

We had an amazing gastronomic journey at this fine dining gem! We came for lunch and had a wonderful lunch. The dishes were inventive and we paired well with the wines (we did wine pairing). We would love to come for dinner another time but we were

For those of you that follow me, you know it pains me to ever give a less than 5 star review. So let me begin by saying maybe it was an off night but it was a freezing cold March night and I don't want to be picky but I think 10 of the 12 dishe
Fine dining. Superior service. Pricy
Elevated dining. Superior service. Portions were petite yet our tummies were fully by the end. The meal included a few Amuse-bouche delights that were delightful. Additionally, they prepared a special small dessert for us in honor of our 50th anniver

Disappointed guest who questions how they were able to get a star in the Michelin guide
Disappointment with tasteless main course. Good small dishes and good service. However, far from affordable. The food more fixed for the eyes instead of the palate. No Michelin restaurant in our opinion.
A great experience!
First of all i would like to say a big 'Thank you' - because you made it possible to create an menue adapted to my numerous nutricional allergies. It gets more difficult to do so with every step the cooking is elevated.... It was not completely with
Beautiful meal.
Flawless flavors. And best of all, the staff took such care with my daughter's severe pistachio and cashew allergies.

The evening menu serves two menus in addition to à la carte dishes. There is always the option of exchanging a course for an à la carte dish. We opted for the "Alma" menu with wine accompaniment. The amuse bouche before the actual entrée

Food was nothing surprising given the Michelin 2 star
Food was nothing surprising given the Michelin 2 star rating. Was pretty average for this caliber. Service was great, with a lot of staff waiting on you and giving you more details. We went for lunch so it was calmer and not too noisy. Very clean.
Great experience
Intimate place, nice welcome. Succulent appetizers and starters, the dish (rice with lobster and prawns) a little disappointing because it lacked seasoning and flavors! The desserts are exceptional! Bravo to the pastry chefs!
So, from the second we entered, it was a special night.
From the Wonderful attention from the sommelier who set us up with some amazing champagne, to all of the servers who directed the experience, we were well cared for. The food was exactly what was expected from a Michelin star winner- exciting, unexpe

Food like this is the greatest compliment to Portuguese gastronomy.
Well where do you start ? We don't have regular visits to Michelin 'macaron'd' restaurants and tend to reserve these experiences to special occasions (like most people of average means), but this being a special birthday (also marking just over 30 ye
Nice experience overall but not worth it
The restaurant is lovely. The staff were phenomenal. The food was average at best and not worth the price. Way too much food and most is very bland.
Too fast and too much
We enjoyed our time at Alma overall but we did not like the speed of the courses. We could not relax and savour each course as the next one was presented to us too quick. Because of this, we really we couldnt enjoy the main dishes. The amuse bouche
This was the best dinning experience we had in Lisbon.
Very creative cuisine, perfect balance, 5 star service and experience.
Excellent food and service.
The staff explained the complexity of the dishes very well which made us appreciate the food even more. Surprise dessert to celebrate my wife's birthday was a very nice touch.
Went here for my husband's birthday.
It was a 3.5 hours lunch but a nice break from our two kiddies. To enter, you need to ring the doorbell and the maître D will come greet you. The service is top notch and very attentive. They use utensils to serve your napkins, always provided new

From the all in perfect sync staff to the amazing dishes, Alma never ceased to impress us. We loved the amuse bouche and appetizers. Each masterpieces of flavors and textures. The main meals were almost too beautiful to take apart and eat!! The Cod a

Connect with users posting reservations for Alma Lisboa
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Alma Lisboa. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Alma Lisboa at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Alma Lisboa page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Alma Lisboa to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Alma Lisboa!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
