Chapitô à Mesa on Postcard

"Romantic Dinner with a View over Lisbon Chapitô is a circus school but also a restaurant and a bar. It’s very close to the castle and has fabulous views over the river. It’s ideal for a romantic dinner. The cuisine is inspired by traditional Portuguese cuisine with a mix of international influences. I had dinner there this week and tried the codfish and I recommend it—but you have to eat it on the terrace, since this menu is different from the one inside the restaurant. You will be stunned with the views from the restaurant. Enjoy this beautiful city over a pleasant dinner. If you want to have a drink afterward, there is a bar on the lower floor, sometimes featuring live music or theater."

Great food! When I get visitors here in Lisbon, I love bringing them to Chapitô. You are guaranteed delectable food with a view. During high season make sure to make reservations in advance. Enter through a small store with hand made crafts at street level then head downstairs. This place is also a circus school, but not during mealtimes.

The best place we eat in Lisbon. You enter via a shop with locally made jewelry and other stuff. Then you go down to the restaurant. Unfortunately the organization for make you sit is a bit stupid, we had other friends already sit but they made us wait for 5 minutes anyway. Otherwise food was just amazing, not a vast selection of choices but everything so tasty. The linguini with shrimps just a 10/10. Good wine selection. View is amazing.

Popped in on a very hot afternoon to have a cold drink or two. It was 40c in Lisbon so it was nice to have a rest and sit in the shade with such nice surroundings. The staff were very friendly and although very hot themselves positioned fans to blow over the cyst which was good. We had some wine and water along with a couple of very tasty salads. A very nice place that would be worth visiting in the evening as well as the views are amazing.

The cherry tomato gazpacho with stracciatella was superb, super garlicky. This is some of the most flavourful savoury food I’ve eaten in Portugal. Beautiful view. Bonus: Great locally made jewellery in craft shop at entrance - but cash only.

Fantastic restaurant! A real treasure and we found it by accident. Best restaurant experience we had in Lisbon. The service was top notch, best table for my son and I, and the food for the price was top! I didn’t want to leave. C’était phenomenal! Foi ótimo 👍. Muito obrigada 🙏🥰

Our food and specialty drinks were all excellent. We had the beef cheeks, prawn pasta, pork belly, and tuna dishes. Our service was great for ordering drinks and food. However, we then sat for over an hour with nobody checking on us, with empty drinks. 3 of 4 dishes were delivered at the same time, and my wife's pasta dish was not brought to the table for another 15 minutes, after our food was gone. Nobody ever came to check on us after food was delivered, or to see if we wanted more drinks or dessert. A manager did come to bring the bill and we expressed our dismay at the lack of service, and the delivery time of the 4th meal. She apologized and offered free dessert or drinks but after being there 2+ hours we had another commitment and had to leave.

This being our first time in Lisbon climbing hills to get to this place felt like a triumph when we finally arrived. They quickly seated us and saw that we were hot and tired and our absolutely amazing server put the fan directly on us to cool us down. She was one of the best parts of the experience. The food was excellent with really good portion sizes. The view was beautiful and really added to the atmosphere.
