Dinner by Mateus was one of the best experiences I had while in Lisbon (and for comparison, I ate a 10-course prefix menu at a Michelin star restaurant). Mateus has... read more a lovely space and is incredibly accommodating of dietary restrictions while maintaining a connection to traditional Portugeuse cuisine. The care and thoughtfulness with which he created an elevated menu and took us through a culinary journey with regional context was truly wonderful. I am gluten free and Mateus made some incredible gluten free bread and cake that allowed me to experience Portugeuse classics that are quite difficult to get elsewhere in Lisbon. My wife is pescatarian and was able to enjoy traditional dishes that were made deliciously vegetarian. The menu was 5 courses, plated beautifully, and accompanied by a starter drink and wine throughout. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an intimate and delicious experience!

  Worth the experience- don’t hesitate. It feels like a fabulous dinner party- without you doing the cooking.. or hosting. Great experience by a highly well trained chef .

  This was the best experience I had in Lisbon, PT. Definitely I recommend it by 200/100.

Is a must experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere even better. Thanks for everything!

  What an unexpected and unique way to spend an evening in Lisbon. Don’t let the location fool you, this is an elegant and thoughtful dinner expertly prepared with love.
