“Delicious, chic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

You have to pay attention, resto is on the first floor. Impressive stair to go to resto.
Design interior, high quality food.
Special dishes with local flavour. Impressive wine list.

“Classy restaurant serving Portuguese food with a twist”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

A good place to go if you want to dress up, enjoy attentive service and savour the evening. Yes it is a little pretentious....(why do they bring you the cork for goodness sake?......though the wine list on the ipad was great, as you could find out a lot about each wine). Food and service both pretty good, and we found the portions generous. They make traditional Portuguese food......well ish, but a bit more upscale, and there is a lot of effort in the presentation......it tasted good too, starting with the bread and battered beans, through salt cod and duck mains to the chocolatey caramelly Pão de Ló for dessert. The bill was a lot lower than London prices for the equivalent. Wine was good value at 22 euros for a sauvignon blanc from the Lisbon area. Fabulous view from the window tables.

“Avenue - Wonderful Restaurant in Lisbon, Portugal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

Extremely courteous help. Wine is priced at a range that does not break the pocket. Modern, noveau atmosphere. Innovative menu, using Portuguese traditional foods, but in a new and modern, updated way. Tasting menu for people intrerested in trying multiple different foods without ordering too much. We went not just once, but twice, and had the testing menu both times.
Great location, close to Avendia metro stop, and close to TI.
We would highly recommend it. Bev & Eric

“I like the food & the service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

I choose this restaurant based on the reviews. I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is nice. The place is quite smart. Very happy with the quality of service. They use an iPad for the wine list which makes sense if you update your list often. The food was good, wine as well. I would recommend this restaurant for business too.

“Just a little pretentious”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 19, 2012

Beautiful restaurant. Fabulous table. Fantastic view. Just a little pretentious. Eg very thin toast called carpaccio of bread. Only beer available came in champagne bottle. Having said that the food was extremely tasty but its not really Portugal. Portions were tiny. The food costs look reasonable but drink costs are extremely high. The service was bordering on obsequious and left me a little uncomfortable. Interesting experience although not completely enjoyable. I'm sorry but I cant recommend it.
