This was the best restaurant we ate in in Lisbon. We had the tasting menu -5 courses( my husband had wine I did not). Every plate was a work of art and so delicious.The chef accommodated my gluten free needs seemlessly and tastely.The restaurant is small and so reservations are needed. The food is local, fresh, inspired cooking. This is... More

I am sorry to say that I would withdraw my earlier exuberant review, I revisited this place last December and soon after seating got into an argument with the waiter, a young man with a terrible attitude, regarding whether we could serve our wine ourselves and have the bottle on the table, he simply refused as this was not the...

Last night was our first night in Lisbon, and upon reading rave reviews of this restaurant on Trip Advisor, I had our concierge make a reservation at Assinatura for 7:30 p.m. When we arrived, the restaurant was empty and the lights were dim, but there were candles lit on the table and the door was open so we went in....

One of the top restaurants in Lisbon, maybe not the best one but very good. For portuguese modern food with traditional flavors this is the top place in Lisbon. We had the 5 course menu (in did we eat 7 different plates. The top ones were the octopus terrine with algae pineapple and peanut butter, one of the starters, and... More

we were a party of 7 which may have been part of the less positive aspects. we had to take the same testing menu, which is understandabel, but it was "allowed" to skip one course: "the chef does not like it". I do not see why some one who wants one course less is not "allowed" to. Even more restricitve.... More

We went to Assinatura with great expectations about the food. We tried the 5 course tasting menu paired with old and mature wines. I will begin by the wines. They were ok but regular wines not even close for the quality excpected for the price we payed. Also I do not think that red wines with 2 or 3 years... More

Every time me and my husband come to Lisbon, we dine at Assinatura. Once more, the meal was perfect, the service was flawless and we were presented with exquisite dishes. It's not just another "trendy" restaurant, 'cause more than that, it "modernizes" traditional Portuguese dishes. This time we were surprised with an astonishing stuffed quail and an absolutely delicious under... More

Enjoyed a delightful meal, expertly prepared and well conceived. Dominated by fish and seafood, which really added to the pleasure. We were seated downstairs at the chef's table, which is almost part of the kitchen and a little harshly lit, so great for getting a good clear look at the great food and my companions chewing away at it.

We just returned to our hotel after a fabulous evening at Assinatura. We had the 5-course tasting menu with young and fresh wine (2 options for wine pairings). It was awesome. No doubt. As was Tuesday, it was a slower night due to discount airfares for weekends in Lisboa. The service was perfect. The food was amazing. We strongly recommend... More
