  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!

If anything I wish they provided some ice breakers for us as guests and had hoped we had gotten to chat more during the course of dinner, but the lack of these things didn’t take away from the dinner and speaks to how dedicated they were to making sure our dishes turned out as good as possible and came out in a timely fashion. Thank you both for such a lovely time!
