Black Sheep Lisboa — Restaurant in Lisbon

Having frequented the Cerveteca next door (with their excellent selection of craft beers and friendly service) I was happy to discover that this tiny wine bar had opened next door, especially as I've been on a mission to improve my wine knowledge over the last few months.

First off this is probably the tiniest bar in Lisbon. If there is a smaller bar then I want to know about it. If there is more than 3 people in there then the party is on and I'd be surprised if it can fit more than 10-12 people at a squeeze and I mean a sardine like squeeze.

So not one for the claustrophobics or people wanting a quiet private chat but definitely one if you want to meet some new people and get friendly with the nice people behind the bar which is what we did.

They have a nice selection of natural/low intervention wines and straight up bottles as well. I had three different glasses of very pleasant, white natural wine accompanied by an enthusiastic description of the provenance by the owners. The wines were obviously well chosen and certainly well received. If you're not sure about what to choose you will also be offered a taste before you purchase.

Conversations were had and a pleasant evening it certainly was. The prices are not cheap, expect to pay €5 and up for a glass of wine but rest assured you will learn something as you drink it and definitely enjoy it. The per bottle prices were a touch higher than I've seen in other natural wine outlets but not horrendously so but the service levels were second to none and I'll most definitely be returning for their fine, personal, selection of wines and great service.

PS. Please see the reply from the owner below regarding the prices for the bottles which wasn't clear to me...

Amazing natural/organic wine oasis in Principe Real -- a must go for anyone living/visiting Lisbon!

The space is super cozy and it has very intimate atmosphere. They have a superb selection of wines from many local and non-local producers, carefully selected by the owners. No doubt that you will find something that will suit your taste, and I would reccomend to 'get adventurous' and let yourselves be adviced by the staff who are incredibly passionate about wines and will find unexpected matches.

The staff are super knowledgeable, fun and friendly. They do really make you feel at home and it's part of what makes Black Sheep so unique compared to any other place. They are super attentive with customers and they do really care about people having the best time.

Since I discovered the place, it's become a new favorite -- I am...

Solid 10 stars. Perfect introduction to interesting Portuguese, and others, wines you won’t find in most Lisbon bars and restaurants.

Tiny place with owners who can either pour you a few tastes until you discover your favorite natural wine and/or share their knowledge and excitement around the producers and grapes.

We’ve been a number of times and can’t recommend it more highly. Wonderful clients enrich the experience every time - local wine distribution reps, locals, wine lovers visiting Lisbon. It’s a real customer mix guaranteed to make your night even better.

You can grab some food at the restaurants on either side if hungry and sip your glass in the park across the street if the place is packed.

Only downside is the tiny space and that they are closed Sundays! Don’t neglect to grab a bottle to go.
