Lisbon Winery — Restaurant in Lisbon

One of the best experience we had in Lisbon (and maybe Portugal?). We went in at 3 p.m. and were the only ones there. The person explaining the wines was so knowledgeable and answered all our questions so nicely and was very informative overall. She took care in asking what was our favorite tastings, and shared her own thoughts as well. We came here because we had such a good wine tasting experience in other European countries, but this was by far the best. I think the place uses small distributors for the wine, so be prepared to be disappointed when you love a particular bottle and can't find it anywhere in Lisbon/Porto. The port wine they gave us were complex and flavorful, and I loved the whites, which we didn't know even existed! Not to mention the spreads - such fresh cheese and ham. We were spoiled for the rest of the trip, because all other spreads that were not from here were too salty or not satisfying for some reason. It does have a slight price range(compared to other things in Portugal?? But honestly it wasn't that expensive) but it was worth it, and I consider it a huge bargain. Consider this the 'splurge' of the trip if you need to. Great service + great bread + great olive oil + great spreads + unbeatable wine. We liked this place better than the winery tours in Porto, because it was more informative and casual - all the wineries said all the same things that this place did....

The cheese and meat platters (served on cut-wood trays) were memorable and we can still taste some of them today! They serve a bread basket with several kinds of bread, not just one, which adds a nice mix. The service was so deeply caring and specific to our experience because our server did not simply check if we were satisfied, but kept asking if we had any questions about the food or wine and if we wanted any other options. The restaurant is awesome to sit in and we recommend sitting as close to the giant chimney-like well with a glass floor because that was constantly interesting to look at. As Deaf customers, we found the Lisbon Winery to be extremely accessible thanks to their immediate readiness to communicate in written language. They also amazed us by bringing written notes with each new plate or glass that included just as much description as would have been spoken. It is an unfortunate habit of hearing people to eliminate more from writing than from speaking, thus reducing the quality of experience for Deaf customers, but this was not the case here. We give this five stars because they achieved beyond excellence in every area of...

This place is not to be missed.

The wine selection is all from Portugal. As are the appetizers. Don't expect to fill up on food here.

Be patient. Very patient. I saw people wait half an hour to get their first glass of wine after being seated. And another half an hour for the bill to arrive. One table left due to the glacial pace of service.

However, if you are patient, you MAY be awarded with a blissful experience. The different samples of food and wine are out of this world. Portugal doesn't take a back seat to Spain with cheese, wine, olive oils, and sausages.

The ladies serving were very knowledgeable with the products. Almost passionate. That's a rarity. The severs described each cheese and meat with uncanny depth. Same goes with the wine.

You may have a three star experience, or a 5 star affair. Life is full of surprises and that's what I got with...
