Two star Michelin restaurant. Out of this world. Everything was outstanding, food, service and wine tasting. Reservations are a must.
06/18/2020
Alma is one of the Michelin-starred restaurants that is able to maintain a certain level of good standards through its tasting menu. The appetizers and mains were good and very filling but the desserts, imho, weren’t amazing sadly. That said, the Portuguese wines were so good and service was top notch! Overall, definitely still a place to visit if you’re ever in Lisbon!
06/18/2020
Atmosphere, mise en bouche qui défilent toute excellentes, vins de la région, tout est parfait

Un lugar de sensaciones culinarias
06/18/2020
Food was lovely. Flavors that I have never experienced before.
The only reason I did not rate this as a full 5 stars is that I felt I was rushed. There were some courses that they brought before I finished the previous ones. But the overall tasting was amazing. If I had the option to rate 4.5 I would.
Would def recomend as an extraordinary option

Comida muito bem confeccionada, com paladares surpreendentes.

A 100 Pointer, no Less!
Saturday at 2 Star Miichelin Restaurant Alma, with Chef ? Owner Henrique Da Pessoa.
Th revolution of a Chef can be measured by revisiting his Culinary Craft, and here is where Michelin got it right, totally, a most Pleasant Restaurant in a 300 year old Building, with loads of Character, An amazing Team behind the stove and a Portuguese Wine selection to makes your want this visit never to end.
What really impressed its a reflection of dining trends today, no fussy make up, no table cloth, perfect for dining with family or friends, perfect for sharing, and no stiff over the t5op Service Philosophy. From Manager to Sommelier to the rest of the Team, Hospitality par excellence exudes this team, it’s for me as close to perfection as one can get.
Off all the dishes I was able to savour, the Tomato Essence (true nothing really that new) but if its perfect, and for Lunch, its the predominant Dish to enjoy on a warm Summer Day, I loved the Dark Roasted Chili, a homage to Ryan Clifft, with its dip, but what truly stood out, (and all dishes were exceptional) was the Large Prawn, which was not only cooked to perfection, but the Rice (almost a risotto) an d the crunch textures added, which made this a dish, where you wish the meal would never end.
From Amuse Geuile, to the Cod’s Tongues, the Best ever Mackerel I have ever had the pleasure to consume, and Octopus, that was so Tender with its composition of various drops, to the unusual Beer Pairing, (a Local Craft Beer) with the Monk Fish, which I never ever had this tender, to the pre-dessert, this was a Gastronomic experience that was out of this world.
Unfortunately, didn’t have time for more, but as short and sweet, (still 100 mMinutes, this dining experience was, it was simply sensational.
Henriqure, you must come back to Singapore and share this, it’s simply brilliance on the plate.
Enjoy!

We had the two set menus. Food was out of this world, and waiters were super friendly. Such a wonderful experience!
06/18/2020
Such a lovely eating experience in Lisbon. Highly recommended. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and happy.
06/18/2020
Cozinha com alma, serviço 5 estrelas ! Top!
06/18/2020
Très bonne adresse. Prix très correct et pas trop cher. Plats biens préparés. Personnel très gentil et attentif. Profitez d y aller avant la hausse des prix
06/18/2020
Plats excellents. Un peu bruyant et étonnant que le personnel boivent du vin en fin de service devant les clients (même s'il s'agit de goûter un nouvel arrivage), surtout pour un 2*
06/18/2020
One of the most epic meals I’ve ever had. Ordered the tasting menu, the food just kept coming, all amazing. Can’t fault it.
06/18/2020
Espetáculo! Experiênca incrível e emocionante. Tudo foi absolutamente perfeito e amamos cada momento e garfada. Delicioso, perfeito. Mais que perfeito.
06/18/2020
Fantastic. The food is an experience on par with any of the sites in Portugal. Had an experience we will never forget. Also.... Black toilet paper, so you KNOW it's classy.
06/18/2020
Madkunst på absolut top niveau, med en meget dygtig somelier. Kombinationen af hvid portvin årgang 1973 og fois gras var himmelsk og dagens absolutte højdepunkt, tæt fulgt af pattegrisen. Min varmeste anbefaling af tasting menuen Alma. Service og omgivelser helt i top, men trak lidt ned, da køkkenet fyrede op for blender og røremaskine. Larmede en del og tydeligt at se, at tjenere var utilfredse med situationen. Situationen burde ikke være opstået, burde have været løst uden for gæsters synsvidde, men var på 6 stjerner i forvejen, så selv om de mistede en stjerne på dette, så får de fortsat 5 velfortjente stjerner.
06/18/2020
Herausragende Küche! Schöne Weinkarte für Freunde des portugiesischen Weins. Ich komme wieder!
06/18/2020
The cuisine is great. However the staff made wrong name spelling reservations through phone.Almost being rejected from door even we had lunch appointments 2 weeks prior. They told me inside was full and no seat for us, but we found inside there was 1/3 empty. Is it a kind of humiliation to Asians? Hope not.
And after the embarrassing and insulting moment, there was no special offer from dish or discount. It is 110€ and 120 € for two people’s set lunch. The food is great though, but the mistake in front door left disappointed.
The male attendant at table service looks inpatient to explain more from guests.

Absolutely amazing food experience ! Very tasty fresh combinations... I left with lots of new food memories. We tried the Alma tasting menu... I loved the octopus as it was just the perfect texture with great combinations... we also thought the wine pairings were an epic surprise and so good. Thanks for a lovely evening with friendly service.
06/18/2020
Extraordinary restaurant experience in Portugal. Young, non traditional and fresh dishes - worth every cent. Must go for foodies
06/18/2020
THE BEST MEAL I had in Portugal. I could even say it was the most amazing dining experience ever! Their tasting menu is well balanced, very delicious and creatively executed. We had their “Out of the box” wine pairing that includes Sake, beer and wine, which was very interesting. Everything was top notch. Well deserved Michelin stars. It’s a must go place when visiting Lisbon!

Exaltation des saveurs nouvelles .. a ne pas manquer.. pour les amateurs de gastronomie

Espetacular. Merece o Michelin

Maravilhosa refeição, obrigado pelo atendimento a minha família.

Lugar maravilhoso, atendimento simpático e muito eficiente.
06/18/2020
Melhor restaurante que eu já comi na minha vida!!!
06/18/2020
Não há palavras para descrever esta maravilhosa refeição. Parabéns a todos que fazêm esse projecto possível.
06/18/2020
Très belle expérience culinaire a Lisbonne. On a pris le menu Mer. On s est régalé avec des plats incluant des saveurs portugaise mais aussi plus large. Tout est très fin. De l amuse bouché jusqu'au dessert nous nous sommes régalés. On a bien été conseillé sur le vin.
A faire absolument sur Lisbonne
06/18/2020
Toujours excellent et au top
Qualité...saveurs.... service
C est la 2 fois que nous venions.... toujours un enchantement
06/18/2020
Realmente uma experiência. Tudo muito bem feito e pensado pelo chef. O menu degustação tem várias surpresas, mas se não for para pedir o menu degustação acho que não vale a pena. O sommelier era brasileiro e super atencioso, assim como toda a equipe. Ótima experiência ao preço de 300 euros o casal, com 3 taças de vinho.
06/18/2020
Distinctive combinations, unexpected tastes, beautiful presentations, and a smoky twist in a number of plates. The service was exceptional. I even got an extra dessert for my birthday :-)
06/18/2020
Speechless about the good food and service rendered! A well deserved 2 michelin star restaurant! Am missing the place already. Will definitely go back again next time!
06/18/2020
Very, very nice high-end restaurant in the chic neighborhood of Lisbon. Incredibly professional and well-trained staff. Overall, socially, it was an enjoyable experience.
Four stars simply because it was incredibly over priced.
06/18/2020
We each had the Alma menu and the Costa a Costa menu with the wine pairing to match. Absolutely perfect!
06/18/2020
One of the best meals I had in my life! Food was incredible and the service outstanding. It has a very informal atmosphere do you won't feel out of place here. Highly recommended and I hope to have the opportunity to return.
06/18/2020
Comida com muita Alma e claro muito Sabor. Genial!
06/18/2020
Worth a visit! Excellent seafood, friendly staff, nice location and perfect value for money. Look forward to returning!
06/18/2020
This has to one of the most exciting food experiences of my life. The menu was carefully thought out and perfectly accompanied by the wines served. The staff are excellent at what they do.
06/18/2020
Believe the hype. This restaurant deserves all the superlatives. Food is fantastic bordering on transcendental (special shout out to the foie gras, best ever). Portions are generous, you won't go hungry. Prices are fair for a 2-star restaurant. Staff is warm and very knowledgeable.
06/18/2020
The tasting menu is fabulous. The service is amazing. I love that they don’t rush you and they want you to take your time. The price is very reasonable compared to the US equivalent restaurant.
06/18/2020
看起來好吃，可惜沒吃到，以後大概也沒機會吃了，服務挺差的
06/18/2020
If you want to have an unique Portuguese culinary experience, ALMA is the place to go AMAZING
06/18/2020
Couldn’t get in because we had children. They said we needed a bigger table than they could offer.
06/18/2020
Excelente experiência gastronómica! Recomendo. No entanto, e pessoalmente, gosto de comer num restaurante em que a mesa tem toalha...não compromete o resto mas acho que ajuda a compor melhor o cenário e considero mais confortável. Excelente atendimento e simpatia dos colaboradores. A bomba de chocolate é um "must" e a entrada de azevia também...
06/18/2020
Buon ristorante ,ottimo servizio di sala ,cocktail da migliorare in rapporto al prezzo e alla présentazione .
La mise en bouche al peperone ottima molto profumata un esplosione al palato.
Il pane veramente buono .
Antipasto a base di gamberi perfetto a livello di sapore e cottura ,foie gras ottimo bella présentazione abbinamenti che andavano perfettamente insieme.
Restera impresso nella mia mémoria il piatto del filetto di carne alla portoghese uno dei piu buoni che abbia mai mangiato in vita mia accompagnato da una salsa eccelente e una crema di cipolle deliziosa.
Dessert al cioccolato ottimo ,dessert agli agrumi da migliorare in quantità.
Consiglio questo ristorante per gli amanti della buona cucina.
06/18/2020
Uitstekende keuken met vriendelijke en professionele service. Alles kraakvers en verassende smaakcombinaties relaxe sfeer
06/18/2020
Uma experiência única. Não se trata somente de uma refeição. É um momento único poder provar os pratos criados naquele restaurante. Inesquecível. Recomendo vivamente.
06/18/2020
미슐랭에 꾸준히 올라오는 고급 레스토랑. 비슷한 등급의 레스토랑 중에서는 비교적 경제적인 가격. 코스에는 홈페이지에 있는 메뉴보다 더 다양한 요리를 제공함. 분위기가 깔끔하며 음식, 와인 모두 맛있음
06/18/2020
Bonito restaurante enclavado en pleno Chiado. Servicio atento y comida rica. Uno de los buenos restaurants de Lisboa. Muy buen ambiente
06/18/2020
Lived up to expectations and more! We all agreed one of best dinner experiences we have had! Thank you for the suggestions and also places to go for an after dinner drink!
06/18/2020
I’ve eaten at a few two Michelin star restaurants and Alma is my favorite. Creative, delicious food, unique plating and excellent service. I’ll recommend Alma to any of my friends traveling to Lisbon.
06/18/2020
A world class dining experience. Every item on the tasting menu from the pre-appetizers to dessert was outstanding. Great wine selections and a very professional and accommodating staff.
06/18/2020
un lugar agradable y buen ambiente
06/18/2020
祝、2つ星昇格。
モダンだが、カジュアルな内装。テーブルクロスもない。係は多めで、皆フレンドリー。
前菜2品メイン2品デザート2品のコースが2種類とアラカルトは前菜・メイン・デザートがそれぞれ4～5品というメニュー構成。
テーブル全員が同じコースしか選べないというお店が多いが、ここは2人が別々のコースを選択することもできる。我々は二人とも(シーフードづくしのコースではなく)、お肉も入ったAlma(お店の名前)コースを選択。
ワインはポルトガルワインを、中心にグラスワインも豊富にラインナップされている。ワインペアリングも2種類あり、ノーマルとプレミアム。我々はプレミアムを選択。
まず、前菜の前に6品も出てくる。ポーションは大きくないが、これだけでもお腹が十分満たされる。前菜・メイン・デザートもどれもウマイ！かなり、和を意識しているが外れていない。
結論としては、◎大満足。久々の大ヒット。
3つ星を含めても、過去のベルト10に入ると思う。
我々が予約した時は、まだ1つ星だったが、直前に2つ星に昇格したこともあってか、お店全体が活気に溢れていた。
コースとプレミアムワインペアリングで200ユーロと3つ星よりもかなり抑えた値段ということもあり、超オススメ
06/18/2020
Correspondeu e até superou as expectativas. Ambiente simples em que sobressai a experiência gastronómica. Serviço de excelência, soube sempre aconselhar e direccionar para as melhores opções de menus e vinhos. A repetir seguramente.
06/18/2020
It's a 2-star Michelin restaurant, so you know what to expect. Great food, great service, and the prices are not too high.
06/18/2020
La 2e étoile est largement méritée. A fin août, on pouvait s’y attendre. Pour avoir une vue d’ensemble du talent de Monsieur Sà Pessoa, il est recommandé de choisir un menu et se laisser guider pour la dégustation des vins pour chaque plat, par exemple avec la surprise d’une excellente bière artisanale pour un plat. Service attentionné et très agréable.
06/18/2020
In my view this is the most creative and thought provoking dining to be found in Portugal today.
Thematically borrowing from traditional ideas associated with Portuguese cuisine, the chef deconstructs and then reassembles with the help of original flavors and ideas - coffee, chocolate granola and beetroot with foie gras, turnip and highly acidified pickled onions with suckling pig confit (cooked for 24 hours), cod with egg (yolk and egg white prepared separately) etc. Desserts are equally creative and again provide a fine balance of traditional and unexpected flavors.
My two visits have allowed me to taste the two set menus which I understand may remain a few more months before some new ideas appear. The two menus were equally inspired. I will return eagerly when a new menu choice is available.
Original wine suggestions are made by the experienced and capable sommelier - again my suggestion would be to place yourself in his hands and explore some lesser known local wines.
06/18/2020
Une explosion de bonheur à chaque plat. Merci pour ce menu surprenant et félicitations pour la deuxième étoile au guide Michelin amplement méritée !
06/18/2020
Great experience. Great for foodies like myself. Totally recommend one of the menus. I had the Costa a Costa (Coast to Coast) menu, which is seafood based. 5 stars! Loved the wine recommended by the sommelier. Loved the service, the food, the décor. Will definitely go back. The 2 Michelin stars are well deserved!

2019 미슐랭 2 Stars 레스토랑
06/18/2020
Such a cool place to visit. Very different then it's neghbour Balcanto. Alma is more boheimian in it's style and presentation. The food is all excellent and the staff is eager to provide guests with a memorable experience.
06/18/2020
Aconselho a todos experimentar o menu degustação.
Qualquer um deles é uma aventura, uma experiência única.
Dava facilmente 10 estrelas.
Continuação de bom trabalho!
06/18/2020
Excelente experiência gastronómica. Muito bom serviço e excepcional carta de vinhos. Comparado com outro restaurante estrela Michelin em Almancil onde jantei há uns 2 anos (sem referir nomes), os preços são “50% off”. A repetir...
06/18/2020
I'm sure the food is lovely, but we'll never know, as they've got a silly dress code that bans open toed shoes for men. Ah well
06/18/2020
Jantar Fabuloso! Nós tivemos uma noite que fica em memória. De certeza voltamos quando voltamos para Portugal! Agradeço imenso.
06/18/2020
All 4 of us enjoyed the food experience thoroughly. One of the best dinner experiences we all agreed we ever had anywhere! Great service.
06/18/2020
Luxueux mais abordable. J'ai adoré les crevettes Scarlett et le filet de bœuf portugais. Bravo!
06/18/2020
Alma - onde os cinco sentidos se conjugam em Harmonia. De facto uma experiência que devia ser obrigatória a todos os comuns dos mortais como nós. Obrigado a quem faz do cozinhar e do bem servir um acto de amor.
06/18/2020
Exzellenter Service, sehr (!!!) gutes Essen mit ungewöhnlichen Geschmacksexplosionen und sehr gute Weine. Die Wartezeiten waren top, die rund 3 Stunden Zeit im Restaurant vergingen wie im Fluge. Der Aufenthalt war ein wirklich tolles kulinarisches Erlebnis. Gerne wieder!
06/18/2020
Ótima experiência gastronômica, as entradas merecem destaque!
06/18/2020
Fantastic restaurant serving modern/creative Portuguese dishes in a great ambience and very nice selected wines
06/18/2020
We had the costa a costa menu with paired wines. Expectations exceeded. Outstanding, friendly, highly polished professional service. Sommelier was fantastic - thanks to all the staff who made our visit unforgettable.
06/18/2020
Also lange wartezeit, Tische und Stühle wackeln man wir in engen Raum verfrachtet und der Service ist seinen Preis nicht wert. Ala Cantina
06/18/2020
Incredible dinner. We orderd Alma chef menu and it was incredible. Had a chance to try 11 different dishes. Awesome experience. Totally worth its price.
06/18/2020
Experiência gastronómica excelente
06/18/2020
Sommelier at this restaurant makes a fabulous wine pairing. If this review was for him alone, I would give it 5 big stars. Same goes for the cocktail, which was by far the best, I had in Lisbon during my 3 day stay. Food on the other hand was nothing special and quite far from my expectations for a 1 star establishment. Wonderful presentation on beautiful plates but boring when it comes to taste. It would have been somewhat 'ok' if the price compensated for that, but you pay more, than you would in London and I got set back a staggering €110 (!!!!) Euros for the lunch menu. Sorry guys but the value is terrible. For this amount you could eat twice for lunch at 3 stars Alain Ducasse at the London Dorchester.
06/18/2020
One of the best restaurants in the world! Alma is a fabulous experience, and everything was perfect - from the food to the wine and the service. Nelson, the sommelier, guided us through the perfectly paired (and totally delicious) portuguese wines while the food took center stage. If you have only one dinner on Lisbon, make sure it's here.
06/18/2020
Voy mucho por trabajo a Lisboa, os recomiendo este restaurante de calidad, personal superamable.
06/18/2020
Very good food and wine, quiet inside environment. Quiet expensive but ok if you only take the main plate.
06/18/2020
Optimo ambiente. Serviço excelente. Qualquer prato escolhido será soberbo....
06/18/2020
Nos encantó ALMA. La decoración del restaurante es sobria pero elegante. El personal muy amable, simpático y servicial.
Los aperitivos cortesía de la casa buenísimos y con mucho toque. Nosotros pedimos a la carta, producto fresco y de calidad (70 € pax con vino).
Claramente cumplieron nuestras expectativas. Muy recomendable!
06/18/2020
Excelente e preço justo pela qualidade do lugar... Voltaria.
06/18/2020
Um dos melhores de Lisboa. Um verdadeiro estrela Michelin!!! Culinária de altíssima qualidade e atendimento impecável prestado por Ivo!!! Porções generosas para um restaurante high end!!! Preço muito barato para um restaurante desse nível. Recomendo não perder de pedir a Calçada de Bacalhau. Menção também para o ótimo serviço de sommelier prestado pelo brasileiro Pedro. A segunda estrella deve vir logo. Recomendo!

We visited Alma for lunch (as unable to get dinner reservations at short notice) while on holiday in Lisbon. We were really impressed with the ambiance, service and food.
The decor is minimal, warm and modern and seating well spaced. We felt the service was excellent, very attentive and we received a fantastic win recommendation from the sommalier (which led to us ordering 2 bottles!)
The food was spectacular- we opted for the "Coast to Coast" menu and it was probably the best seafood I've ever had. The quality of the fish really shone though and the accompaniments really complemented the tastes, rather than overpowering them as can sometimes be the case.
We were really pleased we came here, I do not doubt it's the best restaurant in Lisbon and the Michelin star is well earned!
My only minor criticism is that when we arrived 20 minutes early we were told we could not be seated and had to come back at the exact time. This was a bit of a pain and seemed a bit arbitrary. We went and had a coffee elsewhere that we didn't really want as it was too hot to just walk around the area. I really couldn't understand the reason for this policy and to be honest it started the experience off on the wrong foot. Luckily the lunch made up for it but I hope the feedback will be taken on board.
06/18/2020
Best meal for our first night in Lisbon. Highly recommend the tasting menu. It's a lot of food well worth the price!
06/18/2020
Fuimos el sábado pasado, y muy bien, un sitio muy cómodo. No me pareció caro para la calidad que ofrece, y las raciones son generosas. El dueño estuvo muy atento, y la atención al cliente, inmejorable. He estado más veces y siempre me ha resultado una apuesta segura.
06/18/2020
Fuimos a Alma por las buenas críticas y no nos defraudó. Para cenar los menús nos parecieron excesivos (demasiados platos para una noche de verano en plena ola de calor) y pedimos de la carta. Súper recomendables los entrantes de mini zanahorias y el foie. Y aunque los platos principales estuvieron a la altura, los postres pusieron la guinda perfecta a la cena. Ah! Y sin olvidar El vino, un blanco que casi parecía tinto y que probamos por recomendación del sumiller muy acertado :-) Muy recomendable!
06/18/2020
Interesante propuesta gastronómica con platos que no terminan de enamorar. Su versión del Bacalao a Bras hay que pedirla pero no está en ningún menú por lo que tendrá que ser un extra.
Tardamos bastante tiempo para empezar, con fallos preparando un zumo de tomate.
Puntos de los productos perfectos, platos ricos pero sin emoción. Baños enanos que parecen más de un club de alterne que de un restaurante de esta categoría.
06/18/2020
Vale pela experiência, serviço e comida. Boa escolha de vinhos. Muito aconselhável. Restaurante com estrela Michelin mesmo assim com preços razoáveis.
06/18/2020
Hands down one of the best meals of my life ! Food was amazing and original! The staff was incredibly attentive, kind and welcoming. They made us feel right at home! Only disappointment was the prawns, which, as the comment below also mentions, felt not so fresh. But other than that, every bite did not fail to impress. Get the Alma 5 course tasting menu!
06/18/2020
Service was excellent from the beginning till the end. We had the ‘Alma’ tasting course and the wine pairing, the food was fantastic and very well presented.
06/18/2020
Each one of the plate were delicious ! I took the Alma menu, because I'm more of a meat-lover but they always have the Costa a Costa menu for fish-lovers ! The service was absolutely fantastic and the staff were really nice. It wasn't only the food that surprised me, but the open kitchen allows you to see the cooks preparing each plate with absolute precision !
06/18/2020
Um jovem chef com idéias brilhantes!
06/18/2020
The very best Portugee restaurant I have been. Good ingredients, good cook, goot taste. My GF took me to this place and it was unique experience. Queit difficult reservation, however, worth it.
06/18/2020
Splendid little place in the heart of Lisbon. Service is graceful and polished. Sommelier is knowledgeable without being pretentious. Dishes are flavourful and nicely presented although a bit too playful at times in my humble opinion. 'Chocolate bomb' dessert is delightful. The Michelin recognition is well deserved. Keep up the good work!
06/18/2020
Impresionante menú, de los mejores que he comido... volvería sin dudarlo. Delicioso cada uno de sus platos. Probamos menú Alma y menú Costa (genial que no tengas que hacer mismo menú toda la mesa), y no sé con cual me quedaría!
Reservado para momentos especiales.
06/18/2020
Uma experiência inesquecível
06/18/2020
Sandsynligvis bedste restaurant i hele byen. Tårnhøjt niveau fra velkomst til afsked. Dygtige tjenere, professionel, men afslappet stemning. Spændende lokale vine. Gode retter både smagsmæssigt og visuelt. Stemningsfuldt lokale
06/18/2020
Awesome service, delicate cuisine, very nice for a one star Michelin hotel. Perfect if you wanna discover fine Portuguese cuisine. Large choice of wine and nice recommendations from the sommelier. Would definitely go again.
06/18/2020
Had a nice experience here. It was the one really nice place we ate at in Lisbon. The food was really good, our group had both the seafood focused and the classic focused 5 (much bigger in reality) tasting courses and we also ordered the bacalhau much to the displeasure of our server. Anyways the food was fantastic, foie, octopus (so good), prawn, squid, bacalhau, everything was good. Aside from the somewhat irritating service it was very good.
06/18/2020
La comida y el servicio impecable. El ambiente muy agradable. No es un restaurante barato pero merece la pena darse un capricho si te lo puedes permitir.
06/18/2020
One of my favorite dining experiences in Portugal. We had the Alma tasting menu with wine pairing and they did an excellent job showcasing the tastes of Portugal.
We had the Somm cater the wine to focus solely on Portuguese grapes which made it even better. I'm writing this two days after having had dinner at Belcanto. We did Alma one night then Belcanto two nights after. Wife and I both enjoyed Alma more.

We are often going to really good restaurants, and this one is definitely one of the best I we have been for a long time. Food is great but the wine is perfect. Service and recommendations are really professional and they have really good knowledge about there products. Definitely worth it.
Thank you all the staff for the great experience!
03/18/2020
Stunning food from the little teasers to begin with, all the way through. Full flavours with a clever mixture of textures elevate the menu here to something very special. Highly recommended
03/18/2020
We chose the Chef’s menu and what an experience! Such amazing food combinations, amazing flavours and ingredients. Personally from all the dishes, my favourite were the crackers with oysters flavour, the soup, the mussels dish and the pork as main. But all delicious!! Also the desert was astonishing finish of all the festival. At the end of our meal we met Henrique and he was super nice, thanks for the amazing experience!
03/18/2020
Que dire
C est compliqué
Sincèrement je n avais pas mangé des mets aussi inventifs depuis plus de 10 ans.
Je vous conseille les menus. A deux vous pouvez prendre Alma ou costa a costa et partager.
Comment dire. C est juste génial.
Des saveurs magnifiees mais aussi des saveurs inconnues.
Après Marcon a st Bonnet, M Klein a l arnsbourg et même Bras a Laguiole. Au niveau des découvertes gustatives je n avais jamais été aussi bluffé..
Le sommet a ete atteint avec un dessert yuzu et algues. Je n en suis pas revenu. Du nez aux papilles. Un grand dépaysement.
Rajoutez un serveur Roberto qui fait tout pour vous expliquer les differents plats en français. Un sommelier de tres bon conseil. Nous avons fait de tres belles découvertes.
Que dire de plus ?
Ce n est pas donné mais le moment est d exception et le travail derriere incroyable.
L ambiance est tres detendue. Le cadre sans clinquant inutile...
Bref
On a adoré
Si nous pouvons nous reviendrons.

Best meal I’ve ever had in my life.
I had trouble getting a booking since their online portal doesn’t allow for a party of 1 reservation (and no international calling service). I came in once on a Saturday and they took my name and info down for a waitlist. They said they would contact me the next day to let me know yes or no. However, I was not contacted. I had to come in during the day the following week and was able to get a spot for a lunch reservation the next day.
Be aware that the wine or water offered in the beginning of the meal was not included in the tasting menu (I don’t know why I assumed that it would be...) This added another 30 euros to my bill.
The experience was personalized from beginning to end. They explain each dish to you and how the chef intends for you to have it. Every dish was filled with several ingredients and thought, making each bite memorable and extraordinary. I was absolutely stuffed by the end of the course. My favorite was the octopus and the dessert (best I’ve ever had!!)

Dos estrellas honestas.
Sin ninguna duda, Lisboa necesita lugares así.
Menú Alma mejor que el del Mar.
03/18/2020
Mejor restaurante en el cual he comido. He ido a otros estrellas michelin, pero este se lleva la palma. 100% recomendable
03/18/2020
Excellent déjeuner, sommelier au top, service de qualité, quelques plats exceptionnels, toilettes très propres
02/18/2020
Excepcional! O menu de degustação Costa a Costa inclui 8 amuse bouche, pão com azeite e manteiga, 2 entradas, 2 pratos principais e 2 sobremesas, o café inclui 3 mignardises. Tudo delicioso, com conta peso e medida para degustar ao longo de cerca de 3 horas. A não perder!
02/18/2020
Estava meio vazio talvez devido à época. Mas muito bom restaurante, não é barato €520 para 4 Pessoas com vinho. Mas não fiquei encantado. Excelente mas não inesquecível
02/18/2020
Wow. What a fantastic experience. Don't think twice about visiting here. The food is incredible and be sure to take the advice of the sommelier who will pair your dishes with wines that you would not have discovered otherwise.
This was our first visit to a two Michelin star restaurant so we were a little apprehensive but the staff couldn't have been more welcoming and attentive. First class all round.
02/18/2020
Arte na comida .arte na decoração ,arte no serviço. Experiência 5 estrelas Imaginação e muito trabalho, parabéns.

시그니쳐하고 costa costa 두가지를 나누어 먹엇는데 음식이 다 너무 맜잇엇습니다. 비주얼도 끝내주고요. 여유가 되시면 꼭 가보세요. disfrutar실망을 만회하네요

This is a perfect little restaurant and café! The food is such great quality and it's a great place to work too
02/18/2020
Os funcionários são muito amáveis e a comida é excelente. Uma experiência gustativa para recordar
02/18/2020
Serviço maravilhoso e comida muito muito saborosa

Fascinating dishes and comfortable atomosphere. It may look a bit tricky but the taste is well balanced.
02/18/2020
Ok, it’s hard to write about the beauty we got from the place. We have been looked after properly. The place deserve it’s fame. Amazing points: super foisegras, well composed desserts. Well above average mains. I did not get liked the gambas starter however its up to personal taste but I think it tastes a bit to fishy for an Eastern European, would have been a good idea to mention by the waiter. The mains were a touch salty and the beef could have been a touch more marbled but its again personal. The desserts been outstanding especially the sorbet as I am not a sorbet person in general. Sparkling wine was again top especially that I do not really like the taste of alcohol. As per the price it’s probably worth more than we spent, that is again a positive well within the budget. Overall, 9/10 on the Myke’s scale. I cannot give 10, so have to look further. Thanks for reading. Myke

Experienced true taste of Portugal coast to coast! Every dish looked like an art and tasted delicious! Professional team at the restaurant added even better experience of Portuguese hospitality!
01/18/2020
Incredible food with even better service. Wine pairings are on point. Recommend to anyone traveling in Lisbon but be sure to make a reservation and be prepared to stay a while.
01/18/2020
Memorable experience that goes beyond the physical aspect, in Alma we felt that our souls were also touched by the emotions of admiring the beauty and of tasting unique delicious dishes. Besides, Alma's atmosphere is lovely and the service is fantastic. It deserves the stars it won from Michelin.
01/18/2020
Já não é a primeira vez que vou ao restaurante a qualidade mantém-se igual. É um restaurante que qualquer pessoa deverá experimentar porque é uma experiência única.
01/18/2020
Uma experiência degustativa muito boa! Um menu com muitos pratos que nos enchem a alma para além da barriga! Vale a pena nem que seja ir uma única vez!
01/18/2020
The experience at Alma is one of professionalism and knowledge along with exuberance and passion about their craft. Every step, from the first few bites, to the guidance of the sommelier through Portuguese wines that we do not see in the states, to the overall quality of the food, pairings, and service was spectacular. If we could give Alma 10 stars, we would.
01/18/2020
Dos menús degustación con muchas sorpresas para este maravilloso 2* estrellas Michelin: "Nos classicos do Chef" y "Costa a Costa". Ambos excelentes, pero destacaría personalmente el de pescado ("Costa a Costa") conjugando los sabores y mejor marisco/pescado de las aguas portuguesas.. Una muy buena carta de vinos. Trato excelente y bonita decoración. Muy recomendable.
01/18/2020
This place is incredible. We have been to couple of really good places so far but this one is extraordinary.
The service staff give you a feeling like you are staying among friends.
The food of course is fantastic. Every dish we got either surprised us by the taste or was even better than what we have expected.
I also asked to change one desert from their menu to the chocolate bomb desert they have, which they we happy to do, and it was worth it.
Good size of all the portions. Great taste. And the (sea food) menu was done in such a way that every dish just got better and better.
If you are in Lissabon I can highly recommend Alma.
01/18/2020
I’ve been to many Michelin Star restaurants and most are disappointing. Alma is exceptional and incredibly. Highly recommended! Amazing food, amazing wine, amazing service.
12/18/2019
It’s delicious. The only thing I didn’t like much about is the portion. The portion is TOO BIG. I eat quite a lot but I had a stomach ache after the meal because it was too much food.
12/18/2019
Foi uma experiência divertida com comida deliciosa e funcionários simpáticos.
12/18/2019
Restaurante com boa comida, bom serviço, necessita de melhorar a recepção dos clientes no acesso ao restaurante
12/18/2019
Amazing experience! Service, hospitality, presentation, wine pairings, taste and variety of dishes served are all top notch! Highly recommend to go for Alma tasting menu, was my favorite!
12/18/2019
We debated between Belcanto and Alma, and chose this place because it was supposedly "more traditional" in the food sense but also willing to push boundaries. It was a good experience - the waiters were friendly and service was perfect. It was also a bargain considering the two Michelin stars and having half the price than other NYC establishments - which was what we expected. They deliver on the food and the service, and the pace of the food came out very nicely (we had some experience where in some European Michelin restaurants, the food came out so slow, so we were a bit worried). Overall, it took two hours (from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.) - recommend reserving early if you don't want to stay for 3 hours. The place was crowded by 7:30- 8ish (normal dinner time).
12/18/2019
Exceptionnelle cuisine , cave à revoir . Accueil très agréable, un bémol sur une sauce hollandaise au beurre noisette.

Unico commento tornerò quando avrà la terza stella !! Delicato nei sapori, rispettando la materia prima del territorio, ma con tanta fantasia e studio !! 10 al servizio sempre perfetto e cortese!!

2-Michelin star Alma (there are only six 2-Michelin-star establishments in the entire continental Portugal, excluding Madeira), out of which there are only 2 in Lisbon, within the same city block, on parallel streets) by the renowned Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa fully deserves its high distinction (which is not always the case no matter how many accolades are showered on certain restaurants).
Ease of booking: excellent, done right on via restaurant's website; there is no annoying inconvenience of calling the restaurant (as with its other 2-star neighbor, Belcanto).
First of all, be advised that unlike most of the restaurants out there, you don't see anything from the street, for there are no windows and the door has to be buzzed. Just look for a Michelin star rectangular plaque placed on the left side of the door.
Nice ambiance, not too too dark, with bright lights positioned right overhead of each table. The table spacing is decent, not that much of elbow rubbing with your fellow diners.
Service: very good, not impeccable (still water brought after sparkling was specified), but no major complaints. After the first guffaw, the service got totally acceptable.
There are 2 tasting menus offered (in addition to à la carte option): "Alma" for €110 pp and "Costa a Costa" for €120 pp, the difference being that the latter includes only fish and seafood choices, whereas the first one features suckling pig and foie gras among other dishes. Very good wine pairing is equally available (not limited to wine per se, but featuring different kinds of sake, local beer and vermouth), but we forgot the cost; we believe the cost was quite forgiving.
Each tasting menu lists 6 courses, i.e. 1 starter, 3 main courses, and 2 desserts. However, do not be mistaken, the real affair is about 13 courses, including all the amuse-bouches and gourmandises. Since the wine pairing is offered for the amuse bouches too (including a flight of 3 different sakes), the overall amount of alcohol is more than sufficient.
Amazingly low cost for a restaurant of that class and distinction. Should be on a must-to-do list of every foodie in Lisbon.
11/18/2019
Expérience « correcte » chez Alma. Plats originaux et bien agencés mais souvent trop salés. Service pas à la hauteur d’un restaurant étoilé (aucune recommandation du sommelier, 3 changements de serveurs pendant la soirée, service non attentionné, « guerres » de personnel visibles)
11/18/2019
I reserved a place in the restaurant a couple of weeks ago, but due to unfortunate events it turns out we won't be able to make it. The website says one can cancel 24 hours in advance, and our reservation is due in more than a week- but it's impossible to get a hang of the restaurant to cancel.
We tried sending e-mails several times, we tried calling their phone number several times as well, we tried everything on their "contact us" page, but to no avail. No answer on the phone or the e-mail.
They charge 60EUR per person for no-shows, so I really hope we manage to find some magical way to cancel before that, but really it shouldn't be that hard to cancel in any restaurant, let alone in one that's supposed to be upscale like this one. Pretty disappointing.
11/18/2019
Amazing show of Portuguese high end food
We went to alma with high expectations on the food and were completely pleased
From the beginning service was great and attentive we were also surprised by the flexibility of the kitchen as you could mix menus and dishes something really difficult given the complexity of the plates
We started with 4 mini samplers including tapioca with oyster almond and on the side an oyster salmuera flavours where spot on
Then we followed with bacalao just amazing the textures and balance of flavors was perfect smokiness from the paprika and acidity from the vinegar
We then had octopus with romesco and parsley sauce it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor
Then a palate cleanser with a cold tomato gazpacho
Moving forward carrots with cheese and coriander it was unbelievable how such a simple thing like carrot could carry all those flavour so well balanced
Then we had the foie grass with chocolate and coffee it somehow res ambled a desert it was not our favorite but yet well executed so many techniques
Then bacalao in bacalao soup well too strong and greasy flavors for our liking not for us but yet perfectly cooked
Then pork confit amazing delicious
And for desert it was magic
Apple with basil so fresh and felt awesome after having some greasy dishes
And last a Betty texture dish just amazing it had celery which was a great surprise
All in all amazing experience we had. A great time and would totally recommend it
11/18/2019
Kokonaisuus jo ulko-ovelta alkaen odottava.Palvelu rentoa ja huomaavaista.Tasting-menu kietoutui tarnoiden ympärille,josta Portugalin saaret erityisesti jälkiruuassa jäivät mieleen.Maut jokaisessa ruokalajissa huippua.Erityismaininta Sommelierin valinnoille.Vahva suositus pöytävaraukselle.Kahden hengen lounas vähän alle 400€.Mutta hääpäivä...
11/18/2019
Magnifique maison , service superbe, très belles assiettes dont certaines époustouflantes un seul bémol à mon goût la sauce hollandaise monté avec un beurre noisette sur un filet de sole à peine cuit vapeur . Carte des vins Portugais magnifique au contraire des vins français . Bonne ambiance raffinée
11/18/2019
I've been to several Michelin star restaurants and went to Alma with high expectations after seeing so many great reviews. Unfortunately, it didn't match them...
Let's start with the booking, very easily done online.
The service was ok, the staff was attentive and polite.
The food: this is were I base my rating. We went for the two different menus, one based on the Chef's classics and another based on seafood. From the whole 12 dishes served on our table, there was only one outstanding dish. 2-3 that were good and the remaining so-so. Some undercooked, some lacking seasoning. We did them with wine pairing which was a bit disappointing, specially when pairing a local craft beer with one of the dishes... Wine pairing, right??
I'm not saying that Alma is not a good restaurant, it's just that i had high expectations and came out disappointed.
11/18/2019
Really a gem of a gastronomic institute. Thought through, complete, professional and pleasant atmosphere with absolutely marvelous dining.
I also appreciate that they both offer a couple of different menus as well as a la carte, tailoring to differences in preference
11/18/2019
Lived up to the hype. Exceptional service. Mind blowing food. Excellent wine pairing.
The only mild blemish was that the restaurant seemed to have a bit of a fruit fly problem. Didn't ruin our meal, but was a bit of a distraction.
11/18/2019
This might be one of the best restaurants in Lisbon. We went for lunch and it was reasonably priced and the food was outstanding. Nice setting as well.
11/18/2019
Imperdível, tanto pela comida, quanto pelo atendimento.

O chef Daniel tem uma cozinha fabulosa e transmite nos o seu amor gastronomiga no prato

알마메뉴랑 해산물메뉴 하나씩시켰는데 에피타이저는 둘다동일함
해산물의 짠맛과 재료에서느껴지는 미묘한 비린맛을 싫어하면 비추.
그리고 해산물메뉴는 고수가 매번들어가니까 초반주문할때
고수빼달라고해야함(고수빼더라도 다른향신료가들어간다는게함정)
에피타이저까지는 입이 행복하지만 본메인 소스베이스가 매번비슷함(결국 먹다남긴게 한두접시가아님)
기본 하우스 화이트와인이 12유로이니 맛있다고 막시키면안됨ㅋㅋ
서비스는 진짜훌륭함.민망할정도 친절함.ㅋㅋ
우리가 좀빨리먹는편이여서 3시간걸림.시간넉넉히잡도록!
10/18/2019
2х звездный мишленовский ресторан. Резервировали столик за 3 месяца вперёд. Понравился очень, сервис, блюда, атмосфера, все на высшем уровне. Советую очень!
10/18/2019
The food was absolutely amazing and the service was exceptional - but the “Chef’s surprises” ended up feeling like more of an excuse to add incremental amounts to the check for customers that don’t order one of the tasting menus.
It was an incredible experience overall, and the value for money was good as well, but didn’t like the icky feeling that the restaurant is adding things to your bill without your knowledge/consent.
But would definitely recommend! Fantastic overall.
10/18/2019
Amazing! Definitely deserving of the Michelin **. As it is my first time in Portugal, I had the opportunity not only to taste the food of Portugal but also sampled the many local wines that the country has to offer through the wine pairing option. I have to say the chef and the sommelier did a masterful job. The flavors and aroma were unique and nothing short of exquisite. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and perfectly trained. The menu changes yearly so the photos you see will no longer be available in a month or so. Hurry!
09/18/2019
Five stars is not enough to describe how amazing this place is... Food is absolutely devine, waiters welcoming and proffesional, interior minimalistic but cosy. Experience worth recommendation
09/18/2019
Apenas minha opinião subjetiva sobre a experiência. Não tenho dúvida que estrangeiros deem 5 estrelas sem hesitar.
09/18/2019
Local perfeito para uma experiência única e inesquecível. Desde o sommelier ao mágico Chef Daniel... O carabineiro ganhou a taça!! Tudo TOP! Obrigada pelo momento. Em duas palavras... 10 ***********
09/18/2019
Fantisco restaurante, equipe fora de série, desde a entrada no restaurante, todo o acompanhamento durante o serviço.. Menu degustação nota !! Obrigado chef Daniel pela receção eais uma vez parabéns a toda a equipe!
09/18/2019
No words can describe this restaurant. We've eaten at michelin stars all over the world, but not many compare to Alma. Every single ingredient in every dish was unbelievable. Great drinks. Highlights for my wife and I were the coblestreet salted cod (obviously), the chocolate dessert, and the smoked butter! I haven't stopped thinking about the butter since we left.
We didn't leave a single spec on any plate. The chef (and team) must really have a passion for creating not only beautifully looking dishes, but flavors that pair so well together, it will leave you dreaming about the whole experience for the next few weeks. Easily the best restaurant I've ever been too.
Outstanding service from the waiters, as well as sommoliers. Clean and beautiful restaurant. We were one of the last couples there before they closed and not only were they not rushing us out, but they were offering us more drinks and deserts. Can't wait to go back to Portugal and make a reservation there again.
08/18/2019
Un temple de la haute gastronomie Portugaise ! Nous avons passé quelques heures hors du temps et avons voyagé grâce au chef qui a su nous surprendre à chaque plat. Mention spéciale pour le sommelier qui a su parfaitement accorder les vins avec nos attentes et un grand merci à l’équipe !
08/18/2019
Special occasion and made this occasion even more special. Unbelibalivable food. Service was impeccable. Fantastic food cooked beautifully. Highlight were pork belly, tomato soup, desserts and snacks!!!!
08/18/2019
予約が取りにくいお店なので、4ヶ月前に予約しました。
ワインも美味しかったし、お料理は目でも楽しめてとても美味しかったです。
パクチーをよく使っているので、パクチーが苦手な人はちょっと無理かも？
アジアンチックな感じがする味付けでした。
スタッフのサービスもとても感じがよく、また来たいと思えるレストランでした。
予約がないと入りにくいので、予約することをおすすめします。
08/18/2019
Maravillosa experiencia. Personal muy formado, muy amables y atentos con los comensales. Trato maravilloso. Pedimos el menú Costa a Costa. Una impresionante explosión de sabores. Cata de vinos ideal que acompaña a cada plato. Inmejorable experiencia.
08/18/2019
The only way to describe a night here is that it is an experience you will not forget. Amazing food, great staff - and a wine pairing 'challenge' which turned into a real education. Not cheap but neither it should be!
08/18/2019
Te piden confirmar la reserva el mismo día y te mandan varios mensajes recordatorios. Nos llamó la atención que estuviera cerrado; hay que llamar y te abren. En la entrada tienen un muñeco Michelin para recordar que tienen dos estrellas, lo que resulta innecesario y un poco pretencioso, pero bueno. Dentro, decoración sencilla pero bien, un servicio de mesa excelente y una carta pequeña, entre sofisticada y tradicional, con muchos guiños a la cocina portuguesa. El resultado muy satisfactorio. Yo fui con mis hijos y les encantó. El precio, pues creía que sería más alto. No pedimos menú degustación y lasio por unos 80€/persona. No pedimos vino.
08/18/2019
Comida fantástica. Serviço fantástico!
08/18/2019
Comida fantástica e serviço 5 estrelas. Merece as 2 estrelas Michelin. Uma experiência gastronômica a não perder
08/18/2019
Imaginem um restaurante UltraGourmet assim é o Alma boa relação preço qualidade, atendimento de excelência, todo o staff prima pela educação e gosto no atendimento. Aconselho a experimentar para matar a curiosidade , mas é garantido que após refeição neste restaurante desce a rua para ir comer aos armazens do chiado.
08/18/2019
Best lunch i ever had! Amazing chef, amazing staff! Remeber too book way in advance, this is one of the best restaurants in Lisbon!
08/18/2019
Food and service was excellent. I got the sea food tasting menu, and my wife for the chef's classic menu. If I had to pick one, I'd pick the chef's classics since it has more variety (includes suckling pig, which was excellent).
08/18/2019
What a fantastic experience. We really can't recommend this restaurant more highly. From fitting us in at late notice to celebrate our honeymoon, to the welcome when we arrived through to the exceptional service and outstanding food - the price tag is truly worth every penny. You won't regret dining at Alma!
08/18/2019
Impressed by great decoration and service.I also like unique wine paring using Japanese sake. But, way too salty taste dented creative menu and fresh ingredients.
08/18/2019
Semplicemente fantastico! Abbiamo fatto il menu di pesce Costa a costa, prodotti ottimi cucinati in modo sublime, bravo chef!!
07/18/2019
I made my lunch reservation a week in advance and was very excited. Then I went to the Henrique Sá Pessoa outlet at Time Out Market.
I was expecting something exciting and interesting, but it was a complete letdown. I wasn't sure if it was a bad menu item or if the whole brand was overhyped. I was a little wary when showing up to my reso.
From ringing the doorbell (the restaurant is hidden in plain sight on a quiet side road) to stepping back onto the tiled streets, my experience at Alma was lovely!
Decor and ambiance was charming. Great service and attention to detail. Most importantly, the food was creative and surprising. You should eat here if you appreciate elevated dining.
This would be a 5 star review except for one thing. When I was seated, the sommelier asked if I'd like an aperitif or champagne. The suggestion was that it was complimentary (for example, no menu was given, the somm didn't say anything about prices, etc). It ended up being a 22 euro glass of champagne. If it had been more clear, I would have politely declined.
07/18/2019
The finest dining experience of our lives, hands down. Dish after dish our minds were blown and we didn’t have an inch left in our stomachs by the end. The setting is beautiful, the service is outstanding, and let’s not forget about the wine! There’s a reason this restaurant has earned two Michelin stars. If you have the opportunity (you must make a reservation), save up some money and treat yourself to an eye-opening meal.
07/18/2019
Allt väldigt gott men den femte stjärnan är för deras otroligt trevliga bemötande och att de får en att känna sig som deras enda gäst.
07/18/2019
Excellent restaurant. Very attentive service. Good wines, food is amazing. There is door bell outside, rang that and they will let you in.
07/18/2019
I was severely disappointed in Alma. As a frequent spender at restaurants in the US and EU, I expect a few basics:
1. When asking if a patron has a food allergy, don't serve that food to them (Alma does)
2. If offering a welcome glass to the restaurant, don't charge 22 euro per glass without clarifying the charge (Alma doesn't clarify the charge)
3. Assuming #1 occurs, take meaningful action or discount for the failure (instead Alma makes sure to add up every charge including water totalling 4 euro onto a 300 euro bill)
To close out the meal, the manager made sure to emphasize that EU is different than the US...cool. not my first time traveling outside the US but my last time at this overrated restaurant. I will happily go to places like SR Lisboa that actually have heart and are making a point to prove themselves.
07/18/2019
I had really high hopes for this restaurant. At this point, I've spent a lot of money eating at michelin starred restaurants around the world and this place was certainly very good. My partner and I got the Alma tasting menu and I got the wine pairing. None of the food was bad by any means but I was not floored either. There were some great twists on Portuguese classic ingredients and dishes and the wine pairing was on point but there was just something missing - a "wow" factor of some sort, especially for the price. I should also mention that the service was really very good and the decor is charming. I really liked the bell ringing experience.
07/18/2019
Um momento memorável. Uma prenda de aniversário especial que culminou com a oferta de um miminho pelo restaurante Alma. Obrigada pela atenção.
07/18/2019
Wow! This was an absolutely amazing meal. The food and the service warrant the two Michelin star recognition. The chef has created a culinary adventure that should not be missed. The wait staff and sommelier in conjunction with the chef’s kitchen support made an excellent complimentary team. We loved the experience.
06/18/2018
Magnífico. Hemos comido a la carta. La experiencia ha sido estupenda. Sin grandes artificios. Una muy buena materia prima tratada con gran técnica y esmero. Carta de vinos con un 90/95% de referencias portuguesas. No comimos pan. Postres a la altura. Muy buena atención. Nos ha encantado. Van al grano.
06/18/2018
A Michelin star restaurant that acts like they are going for at least two stars. Best sommelier experience I've had at a restaurant. Do the tasting menu with wine pairing and be prepared to be amazed (and stuffed)
06/18/2018
Wonderful food and service. The baby carrots were overly salty, however, and I had to leave most of it. Whilst the rest of the tasting menu was excellent I have to wonder how seasonal it was. Suckling pig in late spring is perhaps better suited to an autumn menu. Seasonality was fundamentally lacking and hence the 4 stars. The multitude of amuse bouche were exquisite. Service was sharp and on point.
06/18/2018
Пришли по рекомендации. Ресторан исключительно для гурманов и ценителей высокой кухни. Все красиво и вкусно. Персонал великолепный. Цены не завышенные. Бронировать нужно минимум за неделю, и более.
На кухне работает много поворов. Все чисто.
06/18/2018
Невероятно вкусно. Выбор вина превосходный. Рекомендую бронировать заранее, ресторан того стоит.
06/18/2018
I have rarely been this disappointed by a restaurant experience. I had high expectations based on the reviews. It started off well - the small appetizers that were part of the bread service were excellent. The rest of our starters and main courses were just ok, and the seabass was actually awful. The service and ambience were excellent, but that's not enough when the food is a huge disappointment.
06/18/2018
Legitimately one of the best meals of my life. The only miss was this weird shrimp appetizer that tasted like it was made from three-day old shrimp. Other than that the food, wines and service were all amazing and the meal--while very expensive--was well worth the price paid.
06/18/2018
Great service but the food was underwhelming given our high expectations. The sea bass was oversalted and lacking flavor, and I've had much better suckling pig in Cuba, Mexico and Spain. My favorite item were the carrots. Overall not worth the price and hassle of making a reservation.
06/18/2018
Amazing food. Great wine pairing. Great service. Local ingredients. Hints of Asian flavors but not pretentious at all. Flavors were to the point. Thank you!

As New York foodies we have high expectations. We are usually let down when traveling the world. Not this time! Alma delivers world class service and exceptionally creative flavors and presentation. For discerning travelers....book early and go!
06/18/2018
Tudo na perfeição. Atendimento simpático e prestável. Comida ótima e breve descrição do que íamos comer.
06/18/2018
After half year of the Alma experience, I still can remember the first bite of the red shrimp, it only cooked for 18 seconds, that was amazing. And all the wines came with different dishes was very well selected, finally I had 12 dishes and 6 wines, I need to consider 6 wines are 6 moments as well, because they are so different so good, very well experience, highly recommended.
06/18/2018
Delicious contemporary Portuguese food and excellent wines in a relaxed fine dining setting. Managed to fix a great menu for my vegetarian daughter :-)

Uma experiência de degustação de sabores e texturas incrível. O restaurante é muito reservado, com uma decoração moderna. A equipa é excecional, muito prestável. Vale a pena experimentar um menu para desfrutarem de vários pratos.

Una experiencia inolvidable. Calidad que empapa tus 5 sentidos. Y el trato exquisito insuperable. Sólo puedo agradecer las tres horas largas que hemos disfrutado de la maravillosa cocina de Pessoa. Volveré. Seguro.

We visited this exquisite restaurant for lunch today. We ordered Portuguese beef fillets that were super tender and tasty (33€). Immaculate service by our server Diogo.

Alma has a pleasant ambiance, the staff is friendly and obliging. The menu choices take you into a contemporary and sentimental journey not only through Portugal but also through the creative and experimental mind of one of Portugal's most prominent chefs, Henrique Sá Pessoa. Paired to this, a solid wine selection is available for utter indulgence. A definite must-go when in Lisbon.

Amazing! Staff was exceptionally knowledgable about every dish! Great ambiance, food was out of this world! Every dish was a pleasant surprise! I don't like fois gras but I ate every bit of the fois gras here - an amazing treat! Every bite was bursting with flavor!

The food was amazing, a true gastronomic tasting experience. The decor is chic and the staff super attentive and friendly. They accommodated a dairy allergy flawlessly without compromising the variety of the menu. Well worth a visit.

Excelente comida. Ambiente agradável e bom atendimento.
06/18/2018
Great restaurant! Wonderful service! We ordered a la carte and were not disappointed with a single dish. The foie gras and cobble street cod is a must!
06/18/2018
Chique, boa comida porém um pouco caro
06/18/2018
Excelente restaurante. Bastante requinte, mas sem exagero. Não surpreender ser um dos mais indicados restaurantes de Lisboa atualmente.
06/18/2018
Experiência gastronômica marcante, apesar de não optamos pelo menu degustação. Cozinha moderna merecedora da estrela Michelin
06/18/2018
Espectacular. El menú degustación de mar que probamos era perfecto, y el postre...una maravilla. Una carta de vinos muy extensa y sorprendente.

O renovado Espaço Alma do chefe Henrique Sá Pessoa reabriu, com nova localização, em pleno Chiado, em novembro de 2015.
O restaurante Alma trabalha a gastronomia portuguesa contemporânea em uma perspetiva de renovação constante.
A plataforma em vigor é casual dining que convida a usufruir da cozinha de autor do chefe nem ambiente tão sofisticado quanto informal.
A ementa vai adquirir inspiração a vários elementos, em especial as HUB pelo mundo, e pela Ásia em particular; e a cozinha tradicional portuguesa...
O Alma ocupa um antigo armazém da livraria Bertrand, edifício pombalino do século XVIII.
O restaurante foi galardoado com uma estrela Michelin (guia 2017).
06/18/2018
Great service, friendly staff that were great at English.
Food was superb, well thought through and a true delight. Prices not to bad either, and exelent wine service.
Nice atmosphere, and a recommended visit for all food enthusiasts!
06/18/2018
I was very looking forward to try this place. Outstanding wine selection, top quality locally sourced food, impressive presentation.
Was great to see Chef Henrique Sa Pessoa at the kitchen too.
Pricing is very fair.
Can’t wait to go back.
06/18/2018
Such an amazing lunch fine dining experience in Portugal Lisbon!!
But one of the male server (who ordered the wine sommelier?)looks like hangover... such a noisemaker, he puts the wine bottle and the glass loudly in the wine cellar. He even wear a black sports shoes...(on the last pic) just couldn’t believe that is eligible to work in a Michelin restaurant.
Anyway, Chef is a really nice guy. We had a great chat in the end of the meal. Thank you!
06/18/2018
El mejor restaurante en el que cené en Lisboa.
Atención, decoración y ambiente excelentes.
Un poco caro. Para noche especial!!
06/18/2018
Excelente. Pedimos dois menu degustação para dividir para o casal (o que é raro, normalmente todos na mesa são obrigados a pedir o mesmo menu). A variedade é incrível, com camarão, lula, foi gras, porco, peixes, etc. Comida sempre feita a perfeição, com os melhores ingredientes. O serviço também é muito atencioso. Imperdível estando em Lisboa.
06/18/2018
Quando visitei o restaurante, ainda não tinha a estrelinha, mas gostei do menu, do serviço e da conversa com o Chef Sá Pessoa. Fiquei fã.
06/18/2018
Grande cuisine
Grand chef
Une très belle expérience gastronomique et œnologique car avec chaque plat il y a un vin différent
Personnel jeune sans apprêts pour un restaurant étoilé
06/18/2018
Uno de los mejores restaurantes que he comido en mi vida. Definitivamente lo recomiendo.
06/18/2018
Nao ligo muito a chefs pelo nome, mas pela boa comida. Este ganhou, o melhor que já comi em Lisboa.
06/18/2018
Bom mas a preços não tão acessíveis. Mas com este requinte e qualidade de serviço, acho que é normal. Espaço muito simpático sem nunca parecer estar cheio
06/18/2018
What a disaster this place. We came with great expectations but they got crushed. A waiter tried to open our bottle of Champagne and spilled at least a glass when the cork left the bottle. The table behind to us got the wrong meals but the worst is the menu. If one person at a table chooses a menu, ALL have to eat the same menu. The other option is ordering a la carte. Imagine having a jew, a vegan and a gluten intolerant person at one table...impossible to enjoy any of the menus. First and last visit.
06/18/2018
Servico muito bom.Pessoal simpatico. Muito bom servico de cozinha.Recomendo visita
06/18/2018
Un buen sitio para disfrutar de una comida excelente, el trato impecable y la calidad del producto increíble. Muy buena opción para cenar en pareja. Merece la pena el precio.
06/18/2018
IMPRESCINDIBLE, una experiencia en Lisboa. Trato IMPECABLE, su sommelier, Gonçalo Patraquim, es de lo mejor que hemos visto. Un 10, gracias por tus recomendaciones. La comida excelente, exquisita. Un lugar para compartir y disfrutar de la gastronomía portuguesa. Justificado el precio. Irene y Enrique (Madrid).
06/18/2018
This place is absolutely incredible. The food was out of this world, the service was fantastic and the decor is wonderful too.
It's worth thinking about dropping in for lunch - it took about four hours to make our way through the 11 or 12 course meal, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Not to be missed!
06/18/2018
Pour moi, c'est le meilleur restaurant de Lisbonne. Il mériterait d'être deux étoiles au Michelin, pour sa cuisine. Je conseil vivement de réserver dans la première salle. La deuxième fait tristoune.
06/18/2018
An absolute must. Vibrant restaurant with a cuisine drawing from Portuguese classic flavours and pairings which are elaborated upon with contemporary techniques. Textures, tastes and presentations all work together beautifully; each bite is a new discovery. The wine list is not huge and almost exclusively focussed on Portuguese wines, but that doesn't prevent it from covering most of the nuances that you need to accompany Henrique Sá Pessoa's fantastic cooking. The service is discreet but present and extremely kind. The place may be slightly too crammed for a fine dining restaurant, but I would say not in such a way as to sensibly affect your dining experience.,
06/18/2018
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff who took us through a tour of delightful food and wine. The sommelier helped us pick out a fantastic pinot noir from the Portuguese coast and outlined the tastes and flavours very well.
It was a great experience and I would highly recommend. Tip, go for the sea flavours desert if it's on the menu, never had anything like it!
06/18/2018
Truly talented kitchen. Imaginative combinations, witty presentations, flavors divine. Warm, natural interiors; welcoming, knowledgeable front of house & waitstaff; sommelier's guidance enhances the experience.
Pampering for foodies.
06/18/2018
Probably one of the best meals in a one star michealin restaurant I've ever had. Everything was perfect. Starting with the interior design and ending with the espresso. The staff was very professional and friendly. We will come back once we come back to Lisbon.
06/18/2018
What a wonderful dining experience. The food was just amazing. From the presentation to the final bite. You could feel the rhapsody of flavours in every bite. Just excellent. The staff was so nice. From the moment you enter the place to the moment you exit they make you feel appreciated. The prices are for the Michelin restaurant very reasonable. Definitely place to visit.
06/18/2017
Beautiful restaurant, attentive staff the food is only so/so. I can appreciate what the chef is trying to accomplish, but the dishes seemed to pair items more for the oddity than the taste. I had the foie gras, with apple, granola and toasted almonds. While not bad, the flavors simply didn't meld into the experience Alma says it strives for. The rest of the meal was similar. The only stand out was the Chocolate Bombe... OMG good.
06/18/2017
Fantastic food and lovely wine selection from this current 1 Michelin star establishment. Amazing olive oil as well
06/18/2017
A fantastic fine dining experience, complete with the service you would expect. Fantastic, if pricey, wine options (starting around €45 per bottle). The amuse -bouche were fantastic, interesting and original. A couple of the mains in our group were outstanding - suckling pig and lamb, and a couple a bit more disappointing (salted cod - not very 'wow' and the red mullet which was lost in the very salty sauces). Presentation of dishes was impeccable as you would expect from a Michelin star restaurant. The desserts were excellent, particularly the ominous sounding "sea flavours and citrus"!
06/18/2017
My favorite restaurant in lisbon. The service is unimpeachable and from starters to desserts everything is perfect. It's always surprising!
06/18/2017
I have to confess that I'm spoiled rotten when it comes to food. Chez Panisse was a family favorite, and we've always prioritized great food when we travel. Alma ranks amongst the best. Everything came together perfectly for our meal. The food was the kind of good that sticks with you for days afterward. It was a genuinely special experience for my whole family.
06/18/2017
Dinner on April 11. One of the best restaurant experiences. If you can appreciate fine dining at a great cost, make your reservations in advance and you won't be disappointed.
06/18/2017

Le lieu est magnifique, la cuisine inventive et les produits bien sources.
Belle sélection de vins, avec une cave d'environ 300 références à 90% portugaise.
06/18/2017
Absolutamente fantástico este restaurante. Tudo perfeito: a música, a simpatia dos funcionários a qualidade da comida e o espaço do restaurante. Não é barato, naturalmente, mas é uma experiência gastronómica fantástica!
06/18/2017
我們在這裏住了一個安靜的晚餐期間的那一週,度過了一段美好的經歷和結束了整個。 食物很美味,和一個真正的羣體是傳統的葡萄牙口味 - 很值得參觀！
06/18/2017
Comida excelente.
Porém, um restaurante não é só a comida.
Um dos garçons desatencioso e grosseiro (o único com terno claro na noite de 11/jan/2017).
Que pena!
06/18/2017
It is more than fabulous food. It is a true dining experience. The front of the house staff makes the diners feel that they have been waiting for us all day. The food is magical, with layers of flavor with every bite. I can't wait to go back!
06/18/2017
One of the best restaurants in the World. Love this place. Generous service and spectacular food. Can't wait to go back.
06/18/2017
The good is excellent, comes in small portions in a long menu. Interesting flavors. For people who like to sample many different tastes. Service was amazing.
06/18/2017
Jantar em em geral fraco. Servico descoordenado e empregados inesperientes.
Comida razoavel mas em pouca quantidade e sem sabor especial
Salvou-se a sobremesa o pastel de nata desconstruido estava divinal
Preco caro para a experiencia geral do jantar
06/18/2017
É bom conhecer lugares novos, mas é ainda melhor saber que temos o Alma aqui tão perto.
Durante muito tempo Lisboa perdeu Alma, mas não há mal que dure para sempre e a Alma voltou, bem no centro de Lisboa!
Completamente viciada no Alma... é como uma segunda casa, lugar que nos recebe bem, e serve pratos de qualidade ímpar!
Obrigado Henrique Sá Pessoa,
PS: não nos deixes mais sem Alma!
06/18/2017
Ambiente muito selecto, cozinha digna do seu autor. Aconselho seriamente a bomba de chocolate para a sobremesa.
06/18/2017
This is a gourmet restaurant, that as some interpretations of typical portuguese dishes. It's expensive but we had a great meal.
06/18/2017
Fabuloso!!!! Para ocasiões especiais, é certo, mas não há nada a apontar. O espaço, o serviço, os pratos, as combinaçoes de sabores, a originalidade. Enfim, nao se esperava outra coisa do chef Henrique Sa Pessoa.
06/18/2017
En una sola frase: No te lo puedes perder.
06/18/2017
C'est bon, c'est beau et le service est top!
06/18/2017
Ambiente calmo, decoração moderna, ementa excelente. Recomendo!
06/18/2016
Fantastic in every way. My wife and I went to Arzak in San Sebastian on same trip and this was as good if not better. Part of the great Lisbon experience.
06/18/2016
Amazing food and drink and good service which wasn't at all fussy for this type of experience. A must visit
06/18/2016
Os pratos são maravilhosos, por ingredientes não antes experimentados
06/18/2016
Tem alma, Essencia, criatividade e subtiliza.
06/18/2014
Muito Bom! A comida excelente, o serviço impecável, recomendo sem qualquer dúvida! Até breve.
06/18/2014
For portuguese standards, this restaurant is expensive. If you're not Portuguese and is familiar with fine dining, this place is cheap. The restaurant is lovely, with all the decorations in white. Very peaceful atmosphere. The staff is efficient, attentive, friendly and discrete, as you would expect for the kind of restaurant. The menu option with the wine will give you a great experience of the reinvented portuguese cuisine, with the french touch. Very romantic, but good to go with a couple of friends too.
06/18/2014
I am ashamed to confess I spent a huge amount of money in a very fine dinner here but... It was freaking worth it. The experience was awesome, we were well attended even though definitely not wearing suit and tie and the food was divine.
06/18/2014
Two friends and I visited Alma during our stay in Lisboa, and that was definitely worth the visit! The food was exceptional and the service likewise. We all went for the tasting menu, and loved it! The food was very well prepared and the ingredients used balanced every meal in a perfect way. Definitely recommendable! Instead of eating three times at an average restaurant, save your money and go to Alma instead :)
