Zula Bistro

An absolute MUST go. Food, service, inside setting and wine all outstanding. Nice selection of Natural wine! Feels like a Lisbon is a hidden gem. Also nice touch of writing reservation name on a bottle on the table to see when we arrived. All the food was crazy - but the chicken dish was next level alongside Knafeh dessert. Prices are really good and would 100 recommend you give it a try. Food recommendations all in the pictures below.

My favourite dish is lamb kebab! Beef Tartar was great too. Everything is delicious, service was fast, we received our food in less than 20 minutes, wine choices are great, so far it’s my favourite place in Lisbon.

Delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Our favourite dishes were the beef tartare and the aubergine with goats cheese sauce. The poppy seed strudel with coffee sauce was an unusual and tasty treat. The only negative was the purple potato puree with the chicken - I think they forgot to season it because it was very bland! The rest of the dish was still delicious.

If I could, I'd rate this place 6 stars😅 Awesome food, great service, everything was perfect. Chicken, salmon wellington and the hulumi with pear are amazing. Pie with poppyseed was the best. The service was great too, the staff was nice and helpful.

Loved everything about this wonderful restaurant! The food, cocktails and service were phenomenal. Our group enjoyed several starters including the labneh, hummus, halloumi and watermelon skewers and mozarella followed by the roasted carrots, lamb kebab and chicken kebab! This is must try restaurant when in Lisbon!

We were recommended this spot for dinner by another local place, and it turned out to be an outstanding dinner place for our family of 6. Great menu with many interesting plates, both small (appetizers) and big (entree). Multi-level flavors in each dish, perfectly seasoned and beautifully served.

We had a delightful meal at Zula on our last night in Lisbon. The food was creative and well executed and the staff was passionate and knowledgable about the food. The chef's unique approach to Mediterranean cuisine made my mouth dance in excitement. We enjoyed the avocado hummus, and the lamb kabobs the most, but everything we ate was delicious! It goes to show that you do not have to pay so much $$$, to enjoy an exciting meal!

Favorite meal I had in Lisbon. Super flavorful, rich Israeli food and just the right hearty portions. I’ve never had a hummus like the red pepper hummus- spicy, sweet, nutty, creamy- and thankfully more pita bread was given to me to finish it. I ordered the lamb kebab for my main and it melted like butter in my mouth, complemented by smooth potato au grautin. The wine paired perfectly and the outdoor ambience on a pretty lighted street in the old neighborhood was sublime. The host and server Carolina couldn’t have been nicer and her recommendations more than hit the mark. One of those rare places that can lift you up when feeling down.

We spent most of our time in Portugal eating Portuguese food, but ZULA is a good reminder that this city has so many delicious things to offer. This little bistro has a tight menu full of inventive takes on Israeli cuisine. It's a small place, but very cute and the staff was super welcoming. They were also apologetic, because our table wasn't ready until half an hour or so after our reservation because of a lighting issue (we just headed to the nearby square for a couple drinks before, no big deal). The only service hiccup is that when we asked our waiter for recommendations, he talked up the grilled olives and the chicken, and then informed us they were out of both. Which was just kind of funny. Otherwise, they kept the food and the wine coming, and we had an excellent time. We ordered nearly the entire menu, and every dish stunning visually, and equally as tasty when we got down in there. It's hard to choose favorites, but the tuna crudo (layered with melon) was a perfect starter, the lamb kebabs were insanely flavorful, and I kept going back for the roasted eggplant with its addictive goat cheese sauce. The dips (muhammara FTW) are also not to be missed, and you should probably order extra fresh, fluffy pita to swipe through all the sauces. All in all, a wonderful meal.
