Fenicios — Restaurant in Lisbon

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 An Unforgettable Culinary Journey – Fenicios Delivers Perfection

I rarely write reviews, but Fenicios deserves every bit of praise. This place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a celebration of Lebanese cuisine at its finest. Every bite tells a story, rich with flavor, tradition, and love.

From the starters to the desserts, everything was spot-on. The mezze platter was a masterpiece—generous portions, fresh ingredients, and such vibrant taste. The kebabs were grilled to perfection, juicy and full of depth. And the baklava? Pure magic. Sweet, flaky, and unforgettable.

The ambiance is warm and intimate, perfect for a relaxed evening or a special occasion. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, guiding us through the menu with genuine enthusiasm and care.

Fenicios is more than a meal—it’s an experience you’ll want to return to. If you’re in Lisbon and crave something special, this is the place. Elegant, authentic, and simply the best...

All chosen with the help of our attentive waiter that even offered us a glass of a especially juice on the house.

I just didn't fancy the decoration much, it was too plain. But it was a great food...

Ordered two waters, one with gas and one without: two bottles with gas delivered. Ordered a tea: it never arrived. Ordered the vegetarian mezza: they gave us meat dishes. Asked for dessert: was told the first thing I asked for wasn't in stock and the waitress literally turned and walked off before I could ask for something else.

The food was basic and passable, delivered after a massive wait. It just was not at all worth it. From the discussions around us we were certainly not the only ones receiving...
