Grenache

Dining at Grenache was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Every detail was thoughtfully executed—the service was warm and attentive, the atmosphere on the historic patio was charming and memorable, and the presentation of each dish was nothing short of art. The quality of the ingredients shone through in every course, and the creativity of the recipes paired beautifully with their exquisite flavors. Each plate arrived with an elegance that matched its taste, making the meal as visually stunning as it was delicious. Beyond the food itself, the friendliness of the staff and the serene, historic setting elevated the evening into something truly special. Grenache is the kind of restaurant that makes dining feel like an experience, not just a meal. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a combination of artistry, flavor, and hospitality in Lisbon.

Celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary this week end and everything was amazing. A relaxed, beautiful atmosphere without pretense, letting the food and service speaks for itself. A splurge of lifetime for us, but the memories will endure. Thank you !

Exceptional in every way! Every bite perfectly plated with layers of flavors for the eye and palette! One of the best dining experiences I have had anywhere in this world. Chef Gelfi and his team are to be commended; and not missed. Everything you want a Michelin restaurant to deliver.

Absolutely an amazing experience 1st time fine dining and it won't be my last. So grateful to the staff for a memorable night.

Higly recommended! 1 star is easy. Best dishes are tuna, foie gras, red mullet and lanqoustine. Only downsize is machine gun speed presentation of wines and dishes. Slow down please, it will calm also atmosphere and serve the purpose. Thank you and good luck!

Beautiful setting and attentive service, but the overall experience didn’t quite meet expectations for the high price of the Experience menu and level of a Michelin starred restaurant. While the savory dishes were refined and well-presented, the really small portions and some extras (extra bread denied, extremely small cheese plater, coffee, service tips) made the menu feel less generous than other Michelin-level experiences somehow unbalanced.

This place has been better than places I've been with multiple stars! The staff are super friendly and know to let you eat or to explain to you the tastings. The wine pairing apparently (I don't drink) my partner says was exceptionally good. The food, the presentation, the atmosphere all felt exclusive but the place still had life and didn't have an air of pretentiousness while still being prestigious. Highly recommend.

One of the best experiences in my life. Many thanks for such an amazing dinner! P.S. Foie gras with smoked eel and beetroot stole my heart.

I would definitely recommend stopping in to this 2024 Michelin star restaurant. I feel like the reviews thus far are very different from the experience I had while I was there. The food was excellent and the service was wonderful. Their martini was worth the price and the prefixe menu was definitely enjoyable. Foie gras and beets are not my favorite foods but otherwise, everything was spectacular!

AMAZING. We found this restaurant based on a local the same day. We happened to be in the area right when it opened. We asked if we would be able to get a table for 2 and we were lucky that we could. What followed afterwards was an experience of a lifetime. We did the tasting menu and it was a high art we were seeing and eating. Every course was amazing. Since I do not eat meat, they made special accommodations for me. The service was impeccable, what you would expect in a fine dining restaurant and more. The port cocktail I had was out of this world. A real hats off to the chef and the crew. They have the three pillars nailed down: food, service and ambience. If you are in Lisbon, tired of eating Portuguese food for few days in a row and want an experience, go to Grenache. You will not be disappointed. We will be back.

I ate alone at Grenache, facing the open kitchen, which allowed me to watch in amazement at the meticulous attention to detail that the team puts into every dish. Tasting menus only with a solid wine list. Don't waste money on French wines - the sommelier recommended two Portuguese wines which were outstanding. Very innovative flavors and textures to match the beautiful aesthetic presentations. Every bite was delicious- which is very hard to do when there are so many different things. A real joy!

I got sick eating here. Only ate 2 courses. Barely touched the 3rd and 4th course. Asked to not be served the 5th and 6th course. Was still charged the full price. I I complained and my 100-euro meal was discounted to 70 euros. Complained again because I shouldn't have to pay for eating food that made me sick. I was yelled at and told nobody gets sick there. We just paid and left.

EAT HERE. And tip well. I wish I were educated enough to describe how delicious the food is at this restaurant. I wish I deserved even a small fraction of the service and attention I received from the wait staff here. This place is beyond magical. These people are dedicated to making and serving food and drink fit for the gods, and they are humble enough to welcome rando tourists like me into their restaurant to have one of the best meals I will ever consume in my lifetime. thank you. EAT HERE.

If you're a fool, like me, you will walk into this restaurant not realizing that a "Michelin plate" is not the same thing as a Michelin star. But this restaurant seems to be banking (literally) on the naivety of castle tourists who frequent the area, prominently displaying the Michelin logo on the sidewalk in front. If you are someone who is very impressed by the appearance of food on a plate, this is the restaurant for you. Hopefully you don't care that the actual taste, because you honestly would probably be happier at a McDonalds. I am serious about that. Yes, that bad. The vegetables were raw and semi-warm, the flavors were strange and didn't mesh together. Pretentious and unpleasant. We were sitting next to a travel guide who was on a trip selecting destinations for her clients. We discussed the meal with her. There wasn't a single item any of us really liked. For €80-98 each. I thankfully opted only for the €80 five course menu. The waiter had a curious habit of asking how each dish was and then spinning away on his heel as one was formulating an answer. It was very bizarre. Perhaps he knew. What is the point in getting feedback when the goal of such a place is just to take tourists' money?

A Memorable Meal. In our very first night in Lisbon we were lucky enough to heed the recommendation to eat at Grenache. A small hill near the castle will lead you to a lovely small restaurant within the Belmonte Hotel that will leave you wanting to come back. We chose the fixed menu with a wine pairing (beware wine pairing is sill not, at this point, a fixed price.) Every item in the meal was delicious, cleverly created, beautiful, elegant and balanced flavors. French favorites like the pork tarrine or the reduced sauce on the chicken dishes were enhanced with creative touches like a turmeric sauce or the addition of boletus. There were moments of discovery like: Who knew that we all loved beets and mackerel together? The wine pairings were well thought out, getting better and fuller as the menus progressed. My favorite a French rose. Both desserts were superb. The apricot dessert, tart and sober (verbena!!) and the chocolate dessert dark and velvety, super decadent. Thank you for an incredible experience. The service was as excellent as the food. Highly recommended. We will be back for more.
