If your partner is a meat lover, this is a great place to take her/him out on a Friday dinner date. In this restaurant, you will find some of the finest cuts of premium meats from all over the world.
Meat is the star here...(but not all are great though).
The meats are a specialty here. You can find many great quality meats from all around the world, ranging from Portugal's national cuts, to Wagyu beef from Japan!
I tried three different ways of cooking meat (carpaccio, tartar, steak), and I have to say, some are great, some are so-so:
1. Beef Carpaccio
Rating: 4.5/5
The meat is very fresh and tastes premium quality. The dish is brilliantly seasoned. Great garnishes as well.
2. Beef Tartar
Rating: 3.7/5
The quality of the steak is good, but the flavor did not hit my taste buds. My tongue has tasted better tartars that make me foodgasm harder.
3. Ribeye Steak
Rating: 4.7/5
Medium-rare meat, perfect pinch of salt, and amazing cut of premium steak that contains so much juice and flavor. K.O.B knows what they are doing. Excellent job.
The ambiance is romantic, warm, and intimate.
The dining space has an intimate vibe. In the winter it has an indoor #fireplace! Warm and cozy. The waiters are considerate and professional. Not much chitchatting so you can have a private moment. The background music I remember was some upbeat lounge-y music - not bad.
Not only for couples, groups dig it too.
Besides couples, you can also find tables of people in suit (not common in Lisbon that people dress up for dinners) having business dinner (the CBD is very close by), as well as families enjoying a dinner out. I still think this place is more suitable for a #romantic dinner though. Try it and let me know your thoughts!
Stay hungry Lisbon! See you next dinner.
