Bistro 100 Maneiras

Superb experience and great food! Loved every minute of it! Thank you. The dishes were hearty healthy and really packed a punch!

Just an absolute must for any food enthusiast and who enjoys a nice experience with their meal. From the staff to the surroundings, we had the opportunity to try the private room for a family lunch, it was just awesome. Fancy food but served by competent and friendly staff that make all the difference during the entire process. It was a great lunch and hope to go there again sometime

We went to celebrate a hallmark birthday and had booked 2 weeks in advance. We were given literally the best table, an intimate corner with a large window overlooking the street, and it was very cozy. The service was great, never over hovering but just the right kind of attention as needed. The food was wonderful. We ordered a red from the Alentejo region. We chose 2 starters and 3 Mains plus extra bread and obe dessert. The goulash was my absolute favorite. It was very kind of the team to offer us an additional dessert for the celebration.

Bistro 100 Maneiras very much lives up to its hype. The bistro proper and the cocktail bar both serve exquisite food and drinks (I recommend getting a drink at the bar before the meal). The spicy octopus cooked with honey is so rich and decadent. The beef stew croquettes are very hearty. Coming to ambience, the interior is low key glamorous. I do wish that they would space out the tables a bit more, but that’s nitpicking. The only real con is the service: which while not exactly bad, was rather slow at times.

Had a deliciously rich dinner here. I highly recommend the croquettes and the spinach burek. The yogurt sauce on the burek was a really wonderful combination. The loin tataki was rich and delicious. It’s on the heavier side, so keep that in mind for what you’re looking for. The octopuff was delicious, though I’d prefer the side to be something a bit more neutral to balance the sweetness of the dish vs. the sweet potato puree which was also very sweet, though impressively smooth—so much so that it coats your mouth and tongue wonderfully as you eat it. The service was good and I really loved our window seat on the second floor looking out onto the city. It was super cosy. The space generally is quite nice and intimate.

Absolutely amazing experience. The service and atmosphere was only surpassed by the quality and taste of the dishes. The best restaurant in Lisbon in my humble opinion. 5 stars!

Absolutely stunning space that has a good atmosphere. The menu is interesting and has a good variety. The risotto was delicious and the appetizers were yummy. The margarita wasn’t that tasty. The service was professional and on par with the prices. However, our server rushed us at the beginning and wasn’t very warm. He was quite condescending at times so makes me not want to go back. I am giving this 5 stars because the decor, the menu and the concept is unique and well thought through. But… it was not cheap and the food was good but not amazing.

It’s crazy to think that I’ve just found this place. No one recommended to me, I haven’t found it on any guides or anything. Just walked by and was lucky enough to get a table without a reservation. What a breath of fresh air it was to go to a proper restaurant, serving great product, with proper service, at a proper price. Truly this experience checked all the boxes. Nothing significant to complain about. Just all around a solid food experience. Also the cocktails were great. Easily one of the best spots in the city to get a creative, well balanced, and exceptional cocktail. This place is a must visit as it will become a regular in our roster for recommendations and visits.

Had dinner at Bistro 100 yesterday and here are my thoughts. Ambiance is great...restaurant is beautiful. The table we were sitting at was tiny though and a bit claustrophobic. Very strange since the restaurant was barely half full on a Thursday night. Service is top notch. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Food is a bit of a let down. We had the Grilled Lettuce Hearts, the Bosnian Style Vegetables, Bistro's potatoes, Yugoslavian Goulash, bread service, and Sweet Potato Puree. Of all of these items I would say the Lettuce Hearts was the best thing we had. Everything else was lacking in terms of taste and especially quantity. I'm glad we tried this restaurant but we definitely won't return

Amazing amazing amazing! Like some of the review suggested, we started wonderful evening at the bar to enjoy a cocktail. This two-story restaurant between charming Chiado and nightlife hub Bairro Alto is chef Ljubomir Stanisic's fancy, funky, punk-chic, no-bullshit, fine-dining flagship. When at the table, we started with the smoked pork tartare that was full of flavor. Don't miss the dishes that have been served since the opening, which you will see a notation on the menu. We enjoyed the coraker collar that was grilled to perfection. The dry aged pork loin was another highlight! The food is just to die for, beyond my high expectation! Great attentive service throughout our dinner service.

A friend pointed us in the direction of Bistro 100. Nice upscale experience on the edge of Barrio Alto. We had a great time sampling a number of dishes here. Highlight was for sure the croquets. Warm, and flavorful. They also have a great and diverse drink menu. The service was exceptional. The staff really know their stuff and can speak to the menu well. Great to talk with, attentive and made some awesome suggestions Great spot.

Excellent food, service and ambiance. One of the better restaurants I've been to in Portugal.

Whenever you go to a Michelin star meal you always have pretty high expectations and I think it was met. The inside is very earthy and dark and romantic but also something accessible with duck and animal pitchers serving water. Our dinner was 17 courses that was supposed to take us through the chefs life. Really amazing starters and the best thing about this meal is how creative and fearless it was. Cow head crackers with congealed caviar, fish covered in ink served on the bottom of a bowl, simple piece of fish with simple broth, and tacos as a main course. Wine pairings were also soo perfect to go with each course and really celebrated Portugal. In reality I would probably give it overall a 4.5 because expectations are so high. But it was such an overall satisfying experience I give a full 5 stars.

This was the one the best overall meals and experiences of our trip. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because some of the dishes were less than desired. All-in-all, amazing though. Really good cocktails too- especially the safe pumpkin. Favorite dishes were the smoked oyster, dry-aged tartare, dry-aged Rossini loin, ceviche.

Enjoyed dinner in the Barrio Alto section of Lisbon at a the highly rated Bistro 100 Madeiras. We ordered cocktails and the tuna tartare and potatoes skins with dried herb salt accompanied by a creamy dipping sauce with a hint of dill for starters. For entrees, we shared the saffron risotto and beef tips in a delectable wine sauce and the seafood rice with fish and prawns. To close out our evening, we shared the Cheese Foam and Guava and the "Brûlée-vous Coucher Avec Moi?" Vanilla Crème-Brûlée. Each equally light and delicious. Of course, I had to add my Expresso and dab of milk! Great view from our table and meal.

Adding onto this review- we went back a third time!! Seriously missed Bruno at the bar that night. He truly made our experience incredible and we hope to see him next time we're in Portugal.

Place is over rated and feels a but pretentious for most reason., It's always a bad sign when the fries are the best part of your meal. Outside of the fries, the bourek was memorable but theres so many choices in Lisbon at a much better value. Cocktails and wine list I will say was solid. Tip: avoid the cheese foam which was sold to as a must try dessert. It looked and tasted like whip cream with a cheesy aftertaste, actually embarrassing.

Had dinner here after reading Yelp reviews. Very close to our hotel in Lisbon. The decor is beatiful. We sat upstairs and won the lottery with our server. Beautiful Portugese woman. She guided us throughout the night after hearing what we like to eat. We started with the ceviche and potato skin. Both very flavorful. For our entrees we shared the tuna tartare and squid. Again, everyrhing was cooked perfectly and was full of flavor. For dessert we had the cheese foam with sorbet. Perfect way to end the meal. Lucky to see the chef as we were leaving. We made sure to tell him how glad we were to eat at his beautiful restaurant.

I really enjoyed the experience here. The place has an interesting design and vibe. We arrived for an 8:30pm reservation on Saturday night and it was fully booked. Prior to dinner we each had a cocktail at their famous bar. Both the Hard Candy and Honey Dew were mixed perfectly and super tasty. Upon finishing we were seamlessly taken upstairs to be seated for our meal. We ordered water and bread with cheeses and olives for the table. You pay for that, but I feel that is to be expected in Europe. We were recommended a phenomenal wine to pair with our selected meals. For starters we had the freshly sliced Ham and the Beef stew Croquettes. Both were sizeable and very good. For mains we had the Steak and the Truffle Pasta with Mushrooms.......the food came relatively quickly and was very hot and cooked to perfection. I even got to spoon out my noodles a serving at a time so they remained hot in the pot. Dessert didn't nail it, I had the creme brûlée while my friend enjoyed the baked apple. This was the only part of the evening that made us wish we strolled to Manteigaria for Pasties de Nata versus the former. Overall, it was one of top meals of the trip. We will return.

What an inventive and delicious menu! Wonderful twists on comfort foods and other dishes without being too crazy. The service was excellent but personable and not too formal. A memorable night for sure.

Very nice restaurant! Top notch. I felt underdressed :( The wine was a bit expensive, but the seafood was really good. The risotto I had was a ton of food so I couldn't finish but I did eat the two large prawns that came on top. I wish there was maybe one more prawn and less risotto. The mackerel app was probably my favorite aspect of our meal so don't skip it!

Creative food, fun vibe. Everything was outstanding and delicious, though the grilled squid was a touch rubbery. Somm made an excellent wine suggestion . Service was great, and super upbeat. Will definitely go back.

Great meal at Bistro 100 Maneiras, one of my best memories of Lisbon. Went with my family and a slight problem to start, took an Uber to 100 Maneiras assuming they were next to each other, they weren't. It's about a ten minute walk. That was the only problem with the night. The highlight was a suckling pig showdown, which was incredible. Great tasting pork with lots of lovely crisp skin. One of the best dishes I have had anywhere. For starters, really enjoyed the ribs. Perfectly cooked with a tantalizing BBQ sauce. Service was also excellent, hip, friendly without being phony. Overall a great meal in Lisbon.

This restaurant was pretty great. They had a lot of different wines available by the glass. The staff was helpful and gave me some samples to try. Lots of interesting stuff, like a wine that was made in clay urns. It had an interesting flavour. I also tried a Gewurztraminer and a Moscato. All were quite good. The Couvert was good: delicious breads including focaccia, and some interesting mushroom spread, olive oil... All quite delicious for cheap. The cevice was delicious. Very flavourful with complex flavours and a variety of sweet, savoury and tangy. Great effort. My main dish of smoked trout was disappointing, but they get a great review from me because everything else was delicious. Service was very friendly and helpful. Also multilingual: I heard Portuguese, English, and French, while I communicated in Spanish. Very fun. Definitely worth checking out!

I generally don't rate places while on vacation but I have to say.. This place does not live up to the ratings below nor the cost. The hostess gave lip about being16 min late for our reservation when they weren't even full... The food is salty and flavor combinations interesting. They mixed up the way they cooked my husbands burger vs my sirloin... And the wait staff is more interested in each other than asking how our meal was going. To top it off... I informed the staff the bathroom was out of order... And after a staff member went to fix it... It was still out of order. I almost lost my meal... Anyway I say, go somewhere else for a better dinner experience.

Great overall experience. Really awesome decor with books on the ceiling on the first floor and mirrors on the walls and ceilings on the second floor. Steak tartare is awesome, as are fries, mushroom papardelle. MUST GET yugoslavian borek- kind of like spanikopita in Greek food. Avocado grenade is basically an avocado wrapped in guacamole- not complaining but kinda random.

This was exactly the kind of fun and experiential dinner we were seeking on our one night in Lisbon. Fabulous cocktails (the Smokey margarita one) and food (get the gnocchi). But the staff and atmosphere were equally impressive. Total win!!

Reserved at this restaurant on the fork.com. We called to change the reservation time and they agreed however when we got to the restaurant they seemed to not have gotten that notice and said we were no shows. That was possibly the only hiccup here. Service was excellent - they immediately greeted us and offered water and recommendations on the wine. We had the croquettes and the mushroom asparagus salad to start. The latter of which cannot be missed- you must order this if you come here as the intensity of the flavours mixed together were surreal. Secondly I had the squid dish which was partially excellent with respect to the fried part and underwhelming with respect to the grilled part as it was overcooked and rubbery. Sides were excellent. My boyfriend has the steak tartare and it was potentially the largest and the best tartare I've ever had in my life. Highly recommend. Servers were a funny suspender uniform and ambiance is modern and contemporary.

We found Bistro 100 after being turned away from Taberna around the corner. This upscale restaurant didn't disappoint. Monday night and the restaurant was very busy. People were nicely dressed - lawyers in natty jackets. Some tourists but mostly Portuguese locals. We waited just 5 minutes and were seated upstairs. The only detractor in the whole experience was the noise level in the upstairs dining area. Really loud. Service, albeit slow (read: hands-off Portuguese style) was excellent. We were brought a basket of mixed breads. All very toothsome. My dining companion ordered the Papardelle with porcini sauce. Outstanding. Enough for two. But what made the dish special is that it was brought to the table in a small cast iron dutch oven. One could remove a portion of pasta and the remaining dish stayed warm. I had two appetizers. PLENTY of food. 1. A most unusual warm salad: white asparagus, sauteed mushrooms ("Cogumelos" in portuguese and likely my most favorite word in the portuguese language) and a poached egg on top, but it was all served in a mason jar which the server stirred together at the last minute. Really delicious. The mix of flavors and textures was excellent. 2. Chicken livers sauteed with apples and port. I'm a sucker for chicken livers. This dish was perfect. Again, perfect balance of flavors and textures. Dinner for two with two glasses of vihno verdo and the 3 dishes came to 75 Euros. Worth it. One of the best meals I had in the entire country.

Fantastic 10 course tasting menu with excellent service. Reservations are essential but we were able to set it up on the day of our meal which happened to be a Friday. Foods included amazing presentations of crispy cod, foie gras, oyster, mackerel, pork, and lamb. Deserts included a cheesecake followed with an ice cream. Each dish included a very creative presentation pleasing to the eye as much as to the taste (see pictures). Only thing that was not worth it was the wine pairing. We asked for a decent bottle of wine to go with the meal but the somm just could not do it. He insisted we do the pairing. The wine was good but it was too much. By the end it blurred our taste buds too much. In the end we should have just gotten our bottle and enjoyed it without overdoing it. Bottom line, amazing dishes using local and traditional ingredients. Worth a stop if you are looking for an amazing meal.

I got to visit the Bistro location because the main restaurant was fully booked. I wasn't disappointed. I couldn't make the reservation because the system didn't go through online for some reasons. Given this is located in a very touristy area, I think an improvement in the reservation system would have been nice. I was there very early so was able to secure a table. Started out with some bread and olive oil. The olive oil was great but I wished the bread was a lot warmer. It was good but it was just cold. Personal preference: I just like the bread to be warm enough and crunch. For starter, I selected the fried cuttlefish with wasabi dipping sauce. I have to say I love the sauce a little bit more than the cuttlefish. It was evenly fried. Just a few chewy pieces but overall it was a good dish when accompanied with the wasabi sauce. For the main dish, I tried the monkfish. Again, I think what really brought out the flavor of the meal was the sauce. The fish itself tasted very fresh but with the sauce it was so much better. The crustaceans were also very good and gave a nice contrast in both texture and taste to the monkfish. It gave a little kick to the tastebuds if you decided to eat this last instead of alternating it and the monkfish. For desert: I choose the cheese foam and sorbet. It was very flavorful. You had to dig a little hard to get to the sorbet but it's a nice contrast between the cheese foam and the sorbet. Service: overall the service was good for the restaurant type. The restaurant did get busy as the night went on so the lack of attention will always be there. So just be patient and i think they will be with you. The restroom is also nice and clean which is not always the case at other restaurants.

A thoroughly overrated restaurant. Overly rich, unbalanced dishes. Overpriced, incompetent cocktails. Roach-infested restroom (I kid you not). Gets one star for the generally tasteful decor, but make no mistake folks: this is all style and no substance.

We had a very disappointing experience here, both with regard to service and food. Service: we arrived and were seated, given a food menu but no drinks menu for some reason. We waited for quite some time for anyone to come to our table to offer us anything. Eventually a waiter showed up, and without so much as a hello or good evening, let alone an offer to answer questions (despite many opaquely named dishes on the menu) or to get us a drinks list, he just asked "have you chosen?". His service continued to be indifferent, bordering on rude, throughout the meal. We also had some service at times from another waitress, who was better but still not great. They didn't seem to co-ordinate with each other very well, either: we would order something from one, then the other would show up and ask us what we wanted to order, and so on. Just before our main dishes arrived my partner ordered a glass of wine, which never arrived, and the wine menu was taken away before I had the chance to order a glass for myself. No-one voluntarily checked in on us or asked us how the food was, even when one dish was clearly not getting eaten (see below). Food: we ordered the potato skins to start, which were fine but needed more salt. For our main dishes I had the turbot, which was mediocre - overwhelmed in a very sugary beet risotto - but essentially OK. By contrast, my partner's dish - octopus in a spicy, sweet sauce - was inedible. The octopus was overcooked and rubbery, and the sauce was congealed on the plate and completely lacked the promised spice. She wasn't able to finish more than a few bites. When a waitress came to clear the dishes (long after I'd finished my dish, and with only a few bites of my partner's dish touched), my partner complained about her dish. The waitress didn't react very well initially, but to be fair, she took the dish back to the kitchen and then came back and said the kitchen admitted that the dish was not up to standard and that the octopus was overcooked. As an apology she sent us a dessert, which was a guava sorbet with a biscuit base and a cheese foam, and which was fine. The free dessert was a nice gesture, but when the bill came, the restaurant had still charged us for the octopus, which was not OK given that it was so bad that we couldn't eat it, and that the kitchen had admitted as much. We complained again and then they agreed to take off the charge for the octopus. Again, good that they did so, but we shouldn't have needed to insist. Drinks: we ordered two of the supposedly famous cocktails, both of which were fine but fairly one-dimensional in flavor profile and lacked kick. As mentioned above, we never got to try the wine. Ambience: the vibe, with almost clubby music, is stylish and works well late at night. There is a part of the bar/restaurant that allows smoking and there's no door between it and the main restaurant, which allows smoke to drift through to where you're eating, especially if you're seated toward the front of the restaurant, as we were. Even if we bracket the saga with the octopus dish, the food was mediocre and the service indifferent, and the prices are really very high for Lisbon. We were sad to have wasted one of our meals in Lisbon on this restaurant when there are so many other great options in town.

Criminally underrated--just go. I am incredibly surprised this place does not have hundreds of reviews and a waiting list for months. This is one of the best meals my girlfriend and I have had, and we've been lucky to eat in a lot of really terrific places. First, are you scared about the tasting menu thinking it's going to be pretentious as hell without being any good? Don't be. The staff is super chill if you show them that's the experience you want, and the dining room generally is not stuffy. Second, get the wine paring. €35/person very well spent. Obviously, what really matters here is the food. Holy. Hell. One of the first appetizers was an oyster, and it was seriously the best oyster either of us had ever had. (And it was exactly the type of dish that would ordinarily scare me because it wasn't simply "oyster," there was a bit of foam and melon, which screams "trying too hard" from the description, but tasted stupidly good.) Another stand out was their spin on cod, which potentially is a misleading example given that every place in Lisbon has "a spin on cod," but this was truly special. The "over his shoulder" (pork in beat polenta--I'm giving the whole pork thing a try in Europe) was stupidly good. Mainly because of the beat polenta, which is pretty much the best polenta either of us have ever had or could ever imagine. Service was absolutely exceptional.

Fabulous fun decor. Amazing service. Simply delicious food. This is THE place to go for a fun dinner when you are in Lisbon. Trust me on this!

This was one of the most unique dining experiences I ever had. Everything was uniquely and beautifully presented. The restaurant was cozy and intimate. The staff was friendly as were the other diners. Everything was a work of art both visually and gastronomically. We were seated next to some people who live a few blocks away from my (I didn't know them) so the word has spread. Don't miss it.

The service here was excellent, but besides that I was not at all impressed with the seasonal tasting menu; in fact, some of the dishes were downright offensive. Cheese ice cream with cheese whipped cream, cheese slices, and a thick cheese drizzle on top? Ugh. I didn't think it was possible to ruin one of my favorite things (cheese is so great on its own!), but the consistent layering of flavors weighed down the dishes to the point where they were inedible. The same thing happened with the dessert: it was way too many flavors and textures all thrown together and plated in a gimmicky way, made more apparent by the ridiculous naming of each dish ("Say Cheese" and "Geranamo"). Last but not least, we were served a horrifying pigeon dish that was plated as if the bird had exploded on the plate (yes, there was actual red splatter made of beets made to look like blood). I was actually wondering if the staff was punking us as the dishes got more absurd. I love fine dining and appreciate tasting menus and cuisines from all over the world, but would never recommend this and would advise going literally anywhere else if you have the money to spend on a good meal.

Gorgeous food with great service. You have to have the 10 course tasting menu, however they are good at adapting dishes to take dietary requests into account. Each dish was beautifully presented, imaginative and tasted great. The highlight was the foie gras ice cream, something that I wasn't convinced I'd like but was won over by. The ice cream was very creamy with only a subtle hint of the foie gras, and went well with the earthy crumble. Although the dishes were small, with 10 courses I wouldn't have wanted anything larger! The menu was also very reasonably priced (around 50 euros), so I'd definitely make a booking next time I'm in Lisbon.

Great atmosphere with a friendly staff. Good for groups and incredibly affordable. Delicious appetizers including squid and cod dishes. I had the seafood rice as a main course and ate until I couldn't eat anymore. Would strongly recommend this restaurant is you are traveling in the area.

We were lucky enough to get a reservation at the restaurant, which only does the tasting menu. If you are looking for the a la carte menu, be sure to book a reservation at the bistro. Located on a side street, the restaurant has a very small and simple exterior that opens up to approximately 12 tables which they seem to only turn once in a night. The dishes were all excellent and wine pairings all perfect. They offer a classic and premium pairing, but the classic wines were great. The first portions were relatively small, but the main courses were the perfect size. Both the fish and the steak were cooked perfectly. Overall, it was an excellent tasting menu at an affordable price and the service was great.

We booked this restaurant because we read so many raving reviews about this restaurant. Right now it has 4.5/5 stars out of 26 reviews. There's only one menu, you can't eat à la carte. We took the menu with wine pairing. We were a group of 6 and were seated at a very small round table, not comfortable. We had to switch positions to fit the taller people. It was very hot in there, some of us went outside for a while to get some fresh air. The starters were hardly starters, they were amuses. I wouldn't call it a dish if it can fit on one spoon! They were interesting at most (see the photos for details). The main courses (fish and meat) were very good, but once again very small. The meat dish was entrecote. I asked the waiter what kind of beef it was, but he didn't now. So they called the chef. I asked him again what beef we received, "is it Charolais, Simmenthal, Rubia Gallega, ... ?" and he said "just regular cow"! Very bad marks in my book. The desserts were good as well (not everybody liked the foie gras ice cream, but I did), and these were finally acceptably sized. The wine pairing then ... They were presented very convincingly, but I wasn't convinced at all after tasting them. In the end we were more disappointed than satisfied. It was just too expensive for what we got. In stead of investing in pretentious food, they'd better give us a bit more of it. 2.5/5 Stars.

MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NOW. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Staff is wonderful, welcoming and hilarious. Dishes were absolute perfection, beautiful (and delicious) little works of art. I just hope you're there on a night when they're pouring that 21-year-old white wine that smells like whiskey and tastes like port.

Shall I list the 100 things I like about this place?! Ok let's give it a shot and hope I don't run out of characters!! 1. Cute, cozy, white table place perfect to take that special someone 2. Although I think sea urchin is vile and tastes like rotten bike tires, they were able to put a little in my dish without my minding 3. Cute stories behind the actually dishes like the dried cod dangling on clothes hangers with the super yummy dipping sauces 4. Garlic bread garlic bread garlic bread! I completely ignored all other forms of bread in our little white bag when I found these yummy yeast treasures 5. I enjoy small portions so I can try more things 6. Two desserts?! OK!! 7. Super nice and attentive wait service 8-100. Ok, you didn't really think I was going to go to 100 did you? All the more I can say is that for a large sum of money, you can have interesting food here and good wine. If you don't like paying a lot for creativity, you won't like this place. For me, it's a one-time place. Great to try, but next restaurant I will eat in Lisbon, will be a nice alley whole in the wall with some salted cod and shrimp!

Sometimes a restaurant gets 5 stars for mostly its food. And sometimes it's a lot more. I was in the mood for something modern and urban, after having sampled mostly traditional Portuguese fare for the previous 4 days. The hotel concierge recommended this place. Wow, he was spot on! Ambience is intimate but hopping. The servers hustled. I like that. They were friendly, helpful and efficient. The sommelier was knowledgeable and very helpful. He steered me right with the wine. Super. Just one complaint, the first course came out well before I finished my cocktail. Subsequent courses were paced much better. I started with a cocktail of their own creation. It was yummy. The first course was the asparagus and mushroom salad with a poached egg. They bring it to you in a squat mason jar with the egg on top and the server stirs it for you table side. The salad is not so much a salad as it is vegetable heaven. The Portuguese definitely know how to step up their vegetables. There were two kinds of asparagus, both perfectly cooked al dente. The mushrooms added depth and richness and the egg, which melted into everything, added even more richness. Wow. The second course was stunning. Baby suckling pig with crackly skin and a potato galette, which was quite French, except it had herbs on top, and wasn't as heavy. A beautiful sauce swirled around the plate, and a green herb-infused oil too. I dipped every bite. Wow and the pig was crazy tender. Dessert was the Yugoslav apple pie. Its shape reminded me of a chorizo sausage. (hmm, deliberate?) Cinnamon ice cream in the middle. Not bad, but not world-beating. I did finish it! This is bistro food at its best. Seemingly simple fare and not fussy on the plate, but the flavors just were amazing.

last meal of an amazing 9 day trip to PT left us wanting to leave about 10 minutes in to the experience... a cocky host, weird s&m like belts the staff wears and a menu with names for dishes brimming with silly names that left you embarrassed after the waitress didn't understand why you didn't know what the "tour de france" entree actually was. then came the bread, mine flavorless (and our bread all week was so good elsewhere) and the GF bread, which was more like a biscuit, they gave my wife, was as dry as sawdust. The ceviche was a good starter, the avocado grenade not so much (warm avocado anyone?), then the mains came and both were bland - one of the two prawns in my wife's dish wasn't edible and my chicken piri piri was the size of a small game bird and needed insane knife skills to get any meat off of. was the first time we skipped dessert all week as we wanted to flee as soon as we had paid. didn't get the hype and ate at just as many well reviewed places during our time in Lisboa and Porto.

This is one of the rare restaurants that actually live up to their reputation. We arrived at around ten and were immediately taken care of by the very friendly staff and the great service continued all throughout the meal. The wine list is very interesting but the cocktails are a must before or during the meal. We had one of their own creations as well as a mojito and both were excellent. We suggest the potato skins to complement the drinks before the meal. The food was researched and the flavour combinations were unique. "Love story", part of the specialties, was delicious and the mushroom pasta were very tasty. A visit to this restaurant is essential for anyone visiting Lisbon who appreciates creative food and great service. It truly is an experience in itself.

**note this review has no reflection on the kitchen** The food was good(3.5/5). I mean the kitchen does a an excellent job of showing Portuguese cuisine. This issue is really the host. His lack of control in the dining room effects the meal. At one point a member of the staff innocently forgot to refill a glass at the table. It happens, that's life. The member of our group mentioned it to the host who said in return "This is not an open bar on our cellar sir." This was far from appropriate and tainted the meal. If there are 10 tables in a restaurant and you can't handle managing them with a bit out courtesy then perhaps this isn't the job for you. Especially if your staff is the one who made the error. Regardless he attempted to make up for it but mouthing off to guests is never ok. Again this has no reflection on the food ... but ambience is part of it so think twice before booking.

Very cute place. I love the decor, and the staff is all great. The menu had many options, the food was good. Was hoping there would be a more authentic Portuguese experience. But everything was still enjoyable. You should definitely come here. I really loved the dining area upstairs.

a stunning experience yesterday at this restaurant! The menu was of top quality: dry chips of bacalao, foie gras ice cream - a succession of surprises and pleasure assorted with perfect wine! For this level of restaurant, the space is a bit small but the atmosphere was great and not too noisy when we were there.

Went for the 10 course tasting menu with wine pairing as recommended by the good people on Yelp. We were very pleased with our meal, but not blown away. Coming from a city of amazing high end, creative food like NYC, 100 Maneiras delivered but did not overachieve. Some of the courses like the dehydrated cod fish chips were great. Great take on a Portuguese staple & served in a really fun way. Other courses like the medley of roasted baby vegetables were a bit lost on me. One thing that really stood out was the pairing of wine. From the vinho verde to start to the spicier red wine to the perfect port, each wine was perfectly paired with the notes of each dish. Would I return? Yes, if the tasting course changes. All in all, a very good meal but comparing to NYC, I can think of 5 tasting menus very quickly off the top of my head that would easily beat it out.

Very disappointing. Bland flavors, mediocre drinks, and a complete disconnect with high price point. The disparity of one star and five star reviews leaves me wondering.. as do the s&m style leather holsters worn by wait staff. Hard to say what goes on in that kitchen, but the end recipe fails.

Amazing experience!! Food was excellent (ceviche and octopus) and the service was the best we had in Portugal. Will be recommending to friends!

Pardon my language but it should call 100 DECEPÇÃO !!! Start by the moment Pedro gave 2 options of sitting, both very ( I mean very close) to someone's table. Then right after I watched 2 other couple being offered to sit in a much better place. Didn't understand that... Then a lovely lady told us about the wine pairing and that we should wait for Pedro to tell us more about it. Meanwhile I watch him serve tables that arrived after us .... Didn't understand that either! We ( my partner and I, yes 2 girls ) felt left out and discriminated ! Pedro tried to fixed the problem pouring us 2 glass of champagne . Very nice of him! Now let's go for the FOOD! We've been in Portugal for 10 days and I'll tell you, it's delicious in every way! The reason we choose this place was the curiosity of what a chef can do with such an amazing culinary. We eat from the Alentejo to Cacela Velha in Algarve and was very, very disappointing. It tasted like process food! So if you want to spend $$$ and not eat well or even get a good service... This is your place to be, NOT MINE!

From the menu, both food and wine, to the service which was attentive and informative - our experience here was 5 star. Our evening with a group of 8 was made perfect in a small private room, cozy but comfortable. Our sever could not have been better. She introduced us to wonderful dishes - that were both recognizable but with a twist. Our favorites were the Tuna Tartar, Chlorophyl Risotto, baby Sardines and a version of Spanakopita (homemade by the chef's mom) that rivaled my Greek Yiayia's. For real.

A friend recommended me to come here for the 10 course tasting menu and it was really good. My friend loved it and she paid ridiculous amount of tips. I enjoyed the meal too and it was def one of the best meals i have ever had. Excellent presentation and superb taste. My friend doesn't eat red meat so they replaced the lamb and pork belly with scallop and sea bass. I kind of wish i would have taken the same as hers. Her scallop tasted really good. Pork belly was a bit dried if i have to criticize.

After striking out at two or three other places on a Friday night without reservations we tried our luck here. They graciously fit us in and quickly even though it looked very full, we weren't as well dressed as other diners, and one of our party arrived 40 minutes late. Our servers reassured us sincerely and several times that there was no rush and we could take our time. Maybe this is just a Portuguese thing but it was well appreciated. The dinner was delicious and the atmosphere lovely. It appeared to be the date night place to be and many of the men were in smart jacket jeans and very well groomed! Clientele and staff alike are "beautiful people" if that matters to you. Presentation of food was a bit of performance art and we enjoyed the show. Our favorite thing was the mushroom pasta and the cheese foam dessert. We took a chance on that one and it was devoured in seconds. The food is a 4 but the service and atmosphere is a 5.
