Brasa Gulbenkian — Restaurant in Lisbon

the food was delicious, i just think that the place could be better. The staff is amazing, happy, practical, super nice. But i really think the only problem is in the design of the place, the menu and the inside and outside. it could bring so many more costumers if you were able to improve it. maybe hire a interior design or something or even look for tips on youtube. because with so much talent for the food it was such a pitty i didnt get the confidence from the restaurant just by looking at it from outside in the many times i passed by. try working on that, the confidence a well designed place can bring to your costumers is what most restaurants have and then the food is sheety they are just famous and bring confidence to their costumers. dont mix too many styles, just stick to one, too many things make the client think you´re trying to shoot in the air with no target and have nothing good to show, which is not the truth! you have what a lot of restaurants dont have, skills, the desire to improve and please your costumers, i could feel the love for cooking. i could clearly see your skills in asian cooking, make it gourmet focus on your best skill and decorate the whole place to match that theme just like when u put on a costume in halloween . Hoping forward to seeing improvements in the future....

Horrible experience! I don't get why there are so many good reviews about this place, I feel deceived...

The service is extremely slow, we and other groups waited 1h30m for food! We ordered the lamb risotto, and when the food finally arrived it was a huge disappointment. It didn't look like a rissoto, it looked like a mush of rice with lamb and too much tomato on top. Something like this shouldn't be priced at 35€!

After giving it a try, the dish had a very strong taste, everything tasted like vinegar. We complained about the strong taste and we were told that it was the white wine. Well, the white wine was very bitter, to me it was the same as vinegar. We could only eat a small portion of the dish, maybe 20% of it. We couldn't believe we waited 1h30m for this, we just stood up to pay and leave.

Be very skeptical on the reviews here, do not waste time with...

Very bad experience. I was in a hurry. Though I don’t expect the cook to send out bad food.

The chicken quality was not amazing as an understatement. And the execution itself.

The salad was put with the skewers instead of the rice (warm + warm). Instead the skewers were put on the salad. Smart.

Rice was very well made. Though if that is the cook “hand” I bet my house he got a rice cooker.

Service was polite and welcoming. Too bad the food is not. The oversized menu was my red line. But I was in a hurry for the bus.

Not sure how the have over 4 rating. I give it 2 because it was eatable. I did not enjoy one moment. I put it inside by body as I needed food. And as respect to the poor chicken that had to die for...
