Cobaia — Restaurant in Lisbon

A very pleasant surprise! We came without expectations — we knew the coworking space above the restaurant, but not the restaurant itself.

From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly. We were a group of four (two couples) and felt immediately at ease.

We ordered a bottle of Douro - Consensual Reserve (red wine), which paired very well with the dishes. Following the staff’s recommendation, we opted for a “to share” experience with six different dishes.

Cold dishes: • Tártaro de novilho, couve lombarda, maionese de kimchi, quinoa crocante • Salmão, molho de maracujá e siracha, pico de galo com erva-príncipe, salicórnia

Hot dishes: • Pastéis de massa tenra de cozido à portuguesa, molho de malagueta • Camarão grelhado, puré de alho confitado e batata, broa crocante, óleo de ervas aromáticas

Mains: • Rosbife, molho de mostardas, polenta frita • Risotto de polvo, grelos, tomate seco, salsa verde

All the dishes were well-prepared, combining different flavors and textures, and brought a creative, modern twist to traditional Portuguese cuisine.

The only downside was the portion size compared to the price — at an average of €40 per person, we felt the dishes could have been a little more generous.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely...

I recently had the pleasure of discovering this restaurant, and it truly was a magnificent surprise. The food was absolutely outstanding — so much so that I didn’t even stop to take photos, completely caught up in the incredible flavors.

The pastel de cozido à portuguesa was, without a doubt, the highlight of the meal. It captured all the richness and comfort of the traditional dish, with a creative and delicious twist that made it unforgettable.

That said, it’s important to note that the experience doesn’t come cheap — expect to spend around...

We went to Cobaia incentivized by its concept and unique looks, but what we didn't know was that we would also be impressed by the most tasty and flavourful food. As we took advantage of the discount on "Mesa 2 por 1", we wanted to try some dishes, we went for the "Tártaro de novilho" and the "Croquetes de speck" (marvelous) for starters, the "Arroz de forno"(amazing[foto on review]) and "Ragu de cogumelos", and for dessert the vegan passion fruit ice-cream. Overall the food was really really good and I have already recommended this...
