Metro e Meio restaurante cocktail bar — Restaurant in Lisbon

Really nice find as we were out exploring in Lisboa! Don't let the very tiny (and low...watch your head!) entrance fool you...inside is a really cool bar/restaurant with exposed brick arches and plaster walls. The staff were all very friendly - always making sure we had what we needed. We had a cocktail and wine along with some prawns cooked in olive oil and garlic...OMG it was great...the olive oil was a smooth as silk (unlike what we get in the USA) and the prawns were fantastic. The serving along with local bread rolls were more than enough for an appetizer.

The drink menu is mostly focused on cocktails but wines are available too along with a somewhat abbreviated food list. This is a place well worth visiting before or after dinner...just so nice and laid back. You can get by just fine with English too...thumbs up to...

only stayed for one drink which was nice but a bit sweet, would have been nice to see some classics on the menu. Not the most social place, I felt very uncomfortable as a guest by herself. I was asked 3 times if I was there alone by the waitresses before being asked to move to a smaller table at the back even though the place was almost empty at the time. I actually wanted to sit outside but was told there were no tables even though there were two tables free, just happened to be adjoining tables to others. Very anti social vibes. This might be a nice place to visit as a group but solo travelers might as well...

Ordered anchovy and tomato on toast, broken egg with mushroom and the hamburger with mushroom and Roquefort, and all were delicious! The servers were friendly as well. For drinks, ordered the espresso martini and the little rabbit - both were also really good albeit a bit pricy. We got a glass of wine each and the pours were generous. Ambiance was good but when we sat at a cute area, there were a bunch of flies that flew out...
