SEEN by Olivier - Lisboa

Great restaurant and it was a perfect finish to 3 nights in wonderful Lisbon. Definitely need to make the effort and dress up for this place, the email confirmation told us to dress elegantly. Views are fantastic and food and service was great. They were happy to move us to a table with a better view.

I had high expectations for Seen, especially as it came highly recommended, and I wanted it to be a memorable send-off from Lisbon. Unfortunately, my experience was overshadowed by disappointing treatment at the entrance. When I arrived, dressed nicely in a chic top, jeans, and elegant Tory Burch leather sandals (with straps at the back), the hostess asked if I had a reservation to which I responded that I did not, then she looked me up and down before telling me my footwear didn’t meet their “chic” dress code. I was taken aback, especially since my sandals were far from casual. The security staff agreed with her, saying I could only be admitted if I changed shoes. Hoping to still enjoy the evening, I asked if sneakers would work because I saw some folks wearing sandals, and they said yes—ironically, sneakers are far less stylish than the sandals I was wearing. I took an Uber back to my hotel, changed, and returned. To my surprise and disappointment, a white woman directly ahead of me was wearing slippers and was allowed in without question. When I raised the inconsistency and clear double standard, the hostess brushed it off, saying she had just switched desks and wasn’t the one who turned me away earlier. The security staff who witnessed it all said nothing other than confirming it was “a different lady.” This inconsistency and discriminatory treatment left a sour taste. While the food itself was delicious and the restaurant’s setting is beautiful, the experience of being singled out and unfairly treated overshadowed everything else. In 2025, it is deeply disappointing that such behavior happens at a restaurant of this caliber. I cannot recommend Seen Lisbon, not because of the food, but because no dining experience no matter how good should come with prejudice.

Elegant, trendy bar/restaurant with rooftop views. We got an inside table and then afterwards the waitress showed us how to get to the rooftop bar area. Lovely view of Lisbon at night.

I accidentally mixed the reservation day, but they were kind enough to find a table for us. Customer service is very nice, the indoor is nice, but of course the outdoor part is nicer. Food could have been a bit better, there were no special flavors in whatever we have ordered: lobster roll, pasta, and some other things

Came here with my wife to celebrate my 35th birthday, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. From the moment we arrived, the service was smooth, easy, and genuinely helpful – exactly what you’d hope for on a special occasion. The views over Lisbon are simply unparalleled – you get a breathtaking panorama of the city and the Tagus, with a lively rooftop atmosphere that still feels refined. Live DJ lady was just right: not too loud and nice vibes. We ordered: Starters: • Beef Carpaccio – beautifully presented, fresh, and balanced with rocket and Parmesan. • Sushi set – fresh, well-balanced, and on point in both taste and presentation. Mains: • Grilled Octopus – tender, perfectly charred, and complemented by creative garnishes. • Miso Black Cod (amazing!) – buttery, flaky, and full of flavor, paired with crisp vegetables and a silky purée. Every single dish delivered on flavor, presentation, and portion. You can tell the kitchen takes real pride in what they serve. We stayed for dessert and were so glad we did — the Passion Fruit Soufflé with sorbet and the Raspberry Cheesecake were so good that, despite being full, we couldn’t leave a single bite behind. If you’re after top-tier food, unforgettable views, and a lively but refined rooftop atmosphere, SEEN Lisbon more than lives up to the hype.

Recently had a dinner date with my husband and even though they were very busy for a day of the week, the staff tried their best to find a table with a view of the city for us. All the staff we interacted with were very professional and nice, and the food we had was so, so tasty! And the view... spectacular, probably the best you can get in the city!

You get what you pay for and this has to be one of the best roof top restaurant and bars in the city , external glass elevator, attentat8ve staff , not cheap but you can choose reasonably priced wine and food , seen other comments saying portions are small, I completely disagree , a main and a side is plenty . Great atmosphere and incredible views especially at night, great music and trendy crowd

Very nice upscale restaurant. Food was very good , I would say a bit overpriced but to be expected from that type of restaurant . Service was good , not outstanding . Took some time for plates to be cleared. Sushi rolls were quite good.
