During my recent visit to Lisbon, Portugal, I had the pleasure of dining at Sol Restaurante & Jardim, a remarkable rooftop terrace restaurant and bar that offers breathtaking views of the Tagus River. From the moment I stepped onto the terrace, I knew I was in for a special experience.
The panoramic views of the Tagus River from Sol Restaurante & Jardim are truly awe-inspiring. The expansive terrace provides an unparalleled vantage point, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of Lisbon's skyline. Whether it was the sun casting its warm glow during the day or the sparkling city lights at night, the vistas were simply captivating.
But it wasn't just the views that impressed me; the culinary journey at Sol Restaurante & Jardim was equally exceptional. The menu showcased a delightful fusion of flavors, combining traditional Portuguese dishes with creative twists. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and presented, reflecting the culinary expertise and attention to detail.
We opted for the classic Caesar Salad and indulged in their refreshing Rosé Sangria, creating a memorable meal. The crisp lettuce leaves were perfectly dressed with a creamy and tangy Caesar dressing, complemented by generous shavings of Parmesan cheese. The addition of crunchy croutons provided a delightful textural contrast. It was a refreshing and satisfying choice, offering a burst of flavors in every bite.
To accompany our salad, we decided to try the Rosé Sangria, and it was a fantastic choice for a warm day. The sangria was beautifully crafted, with a delightful combination of rosé wine, fresh fruits, and a touch of sweetness. Sipping on the chilled sangria while enjoying the panoramic views from the terrace added an extra layer of relaxation and enjoyment to our meal.
The service at Sol Restaurante & Jardim was commendable, with a staff that was attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about their craft. They offered valuable recommendations and demonstrated genuine warmth, making me feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout my dining experience.
The ambiance of Sol Restaurante & Jardim is another element that deserves praise. The combination of stylish decor, comfortable seating, and soothing background music created an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. Whether I was enjoying a romantic dinner or sharing delightful conversations with friends, the ambiance enhanced the overall experience.
In summary, my visit to Sol Restaurante & Jardim was an exquisite experience that combined unparalleled views, outstanding flavors, and attentive service. It is a true gem in Lisbon's dining scene, offering a harmonious blend of visual beauty and culinary delights. Whether you're a visitor or a local resident, I highly recommend treating yourself to the unforgettable experience that Sol Restaurante & Jardim...
Read moreAmazing food, drinks and the views are just incredible and all for not a bad price! At the beginning of our visit, the service was great. The waiter was very attentive and took orders promptly. But after we finished eating the waiters never seemed to come back over for like half an hour. I think they assume you’ll just sit and enjoy the view, but we were waiting for a while to leave and get the check even though several waiters were standing around doing nothing. We wouldn’t have minded the wait if we had at least been asked by a waiter if we wanted another drink, which didn’t happen (and it shouldn’t be on the customer to get up and ask the waiter for something).
The environment and food was still good enough to not complain but if you’re in a rush to get somewhere definitely tell them when you get your food that you need the check soon. It was a little inconvenient for the schedule we had planned and ended up missing a museum visit on our last night.
Also it’s cash only - they do have an ATM though inside but I kind of wish they had told us when we sat down. My husband had to run back to our Airbnb to get his debit card since we didn’t have enough cash and only credit cards (not saying that’s the restaurant’s fault but just be aware to bring enough cash to this place and not have anywhere to be afterwards).
All that being said I will still give this place a high rating because the views with the quality of food and drinks are pretty great. And at least the service didn’t become so bad until after getting our food. So I’d still highly recommend if you have lots of downtime for...
Read moreWe were fortunate enough to stumble upon this fantastic restaurant for dinner, and it turned out to be a real gem! The first thing that struck us was the incredible view. I can only imagine how breathtaking it must be in the mornings, bathed in sunlight – it would be absolutely amazing! The restaurant itself is quite spacious, with both indoor and outdoor seating. This creates a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere, perfect for any occasion. We had a really fun dinner, enjoying a few beers and exploring their surprisingly good wine list. They had a nice selection with options to suit different tastes and budgets. As for the food, we ordered the chicken salad and a pasta dish, both of which were delicious. The chicken salad was fresh and flavorful, and the pasta was perfectly cooked with a tasty sauce. Everything was clearly made with quality ingredients and attention to detail. While I definitely suggest checking the menu online before you go, just to get an idea of what they offer, this restaurant is a must-visit for the view alone. It truly elevates the dining experience. Combine that with the good food, drinks, and spacious setting, and you're in for a memorable meal. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back, maybe even for brunch to catch that amazing...
