Machimbombo em Lisboa

08/01/2025: First of all, the food and service were absolutely fantastic. A unique experience. The restaurant is located on the top floor of an old building from the 18th century. The building was renovated a few years ago and is a hotel with restaurant. Some scenes of the movie 'Nighttrain to Lisbon' were shot in the building. We were welcomed at the reception at 8 pm. After that, we could take the elevator up to the restaurant, where a staff member took us in and took our jackets. We were then assigned a table right by the window with a fantastic view over the river to the bridge 'Ponte 25 de Abril' and the statue of Jesus. We decided the menu with wine pairing (a glass of wine with each course). With the amuse-bouches we had about 10 courses, each more delicious than the last. Even the chef himself served the sauce. In the end, the meal lasted until after midnight The restaurant is expensive, but absolutely worth the money. The meal is almost celebrated and is a unique experience. Many thanks to the owner and the staff for an unforgettable occasion. We will definitely be back.

31/12/2024: We did the 4 course tasting menu . We got a great view of the river while we dined. The restaurant has the feeling of a private club. The flavors are so well balanced every course was amazing. You get 3 additional small appetizers and a pre dessert on top of the listed courses. Portions allow you to finish the whole menu. It’s an experience so expect 3 hrs.
