Pigmeu

As a foodie, I run to this restaurant as soon as I discovered it reading an article about best restaurants in Lisbon. The passion that the staff put into every dish and detail is so genuine and amazing. The research behind every recipe is incredible and you can tell it. Great food, great wine, great experience! I totally recommend this restaurant. On a side note: zucchini flowers are just gorgeous ❤️

As a lover of pork products and a fan of nose to tail eating, Pigmeu was one of the highlights of my visit to Lisbon! The breed of pig that they use is so delicious! The pork chop was cooked perfectly, simply tender and juicy. We also tried all the “weird” bits and they were delicious and texturally diverse. Their use of herbs and spices was creative. The tomato salad and courgette salad were also amazing, bright with their end of summer flavor and also complex because of the use of fermented ingredients. Miguel brought many natural wines over to taste. He was a knowledgeable and warm host. If you’re a foodie don’t miss Pigmeu!

Great place for dinner with a fun concept! All the pork-based dishes had a little something to balance out the fattiness of the pork like pickles, kimchi, or some of kind of sauce. Great service too, with recommendations for the wine and food! My wife and I enjoyed ourselves!

We had a reservation and got there on time. They were really nice and gave us the explanation in English and when we were hesitant to choose between two appetizers, they told us we can get half and half which was great! Everything was very tasty, although on a saltier side.

Pigmeu is a very nice restaurant with a lot of potential. We went to snack just before dinner. Overall, the food is very good, although some dishes require a bit more of a flavor balance. The pig feet had a bit too much lemon juice, which was evident when you finished the dish. The meat from the bifana porcalhona was a bit chewy and the bread needed a bit more fermentation (it was too dense). The french fries were delicious but too heavy on the salt. Nevertheless, a place worth going to for their nose to tail philosophy and seasonal menu.

Food was amazing. Service from the host was amazing but he was on his own (Monday night) so it was abit slow. The pork chop and the sandwich were the highlights.

A great concept for the menu, focusing only on pork dishes and using any part of the pig to create amazing dishes. All of the dishes we ordered were fantastic and the service was attentive and friendly. Best meal we had in Lisbon!

Love this restaurant, the boss was very funny and friendly and he made sure we understand the menu. We had 5 dishes, everything was delicious and great wine recommendation! Would come back again if we have a chance.

Had a very good lunch here with a lovely waiter (may have actually been the owner as I think about it). The burger is incredible. The meat was flavorful and paired well with the spicy mustard. The sauce/gravy on it was rich and delicious and the bun goes perfectly well with it--holds its own with the sauce without falling apart and had a great consistency. I also got the cut of the day which was a sort of loin (I don't recall the specifics) and it was wonderful. Even the cabbage served with it was extraordinary! For dessert we got the pudim abade de priscos which was OUTSTANDING! Rich, sweet, delicious. The consistency was almost like vasoline--I know that's probably not appetizing, but it was creamy in a way that wasn't milk-based but instead fat-based and in that way it was extraordinary.

Porcaria Extraordinaire There's something special about a restaurant that specializes in only one thing: in this case, pig Pigmeu is everything I expected and more Casual and low-key with a diverse menu of pork-centric dishes all held together by rich and savory sauces It's small place and out of the way, but I'm so happy we stopped by I loved the pork sausage, pork head and pork liver and while the pork pudding wasn't quite ready, we did try a delicious sample from the night before Thank you owner for the hospitality!

My husband and I had dinner here, and wow. Our server was great - super funny and very helpful. The food was absolutely amazing, it felt like everything kept getting better and better as it came out. It was a cozy atmosphere, where it felt like a restaurant, but also like it was somebody's home. Couldn't recommend more!

All I can say is, "wow." They know how to make the best out of an entire pig, every dish wash breathtaking. Then we get to the wine, even better than the black pig. The staff made the experience even more enjoyable and I wish everyone can experience what I did.

It's hard to find a restaurant (anywhere in the world) that makes dishes using every part of an animal. I've been to: Publican - Chicago Animal - L.A. St. John's - London and today Pigmeu - Lisbon All of these restaurants were excellent, original, exciting, and distinctive! Pigmeu is this small, quaint place situated in the middle of the block doing some really amazing things with a pig. They use everything from the snout to the tail. For lunch, we ordered: Pig Heart Empanadas - that was the owners grandmother's recipe. It was served with a relish dish with some pickled vegetables. This one dish was astounding. Pig Kidneys - served with mustard greens and a sauce, so good I should have asked for a straw. Pig Neck - which was a first for me. It's very tough but extremely tasty. You can only consume half of what they serve you. The other half, you suck the hell out of this these morsels for maximum flavor, but don't swallow. My wife had an unfiltered local white wine, and I had a very good local beer. We also had a tapas of Razor Clams and an incredible bread pudding for dessert. It's safe to say that this 3:00 p.m. lunch was also dinner. The best part about traveling (for us) are days like this when you get "Thunderstruck" by something so unique; all you can do is just smile. That's exactly what happened with our experience at Pigmeu.

This place is totally off the beaten path, and quite a walk from metro, but I am really glad we made it as this turned out to be one of my favorite and more memorable food adventure in this trip. While there is no translated menu, the owner Miguel spoke excellent English. Pigmeu's concept is to buy the whole pig and use up all the parts. This reminds diners that what they eat is an animal, not just meat, and also keeps the old tradition of wasting nothing. And I do mean nothing... There are three sections in the food menu. One is Carne - meat. One is Miudezas - odds and ends. Like ear, skin, ovary, penis... Yup, Miguel talked us into trying the last one, labeled as Pica Pau (which means woodpecker as well as a traditional dish made with less racy ingredients) (My bravery in reporting deserves a Yelpie...) When we told him the dish was actually quite delicious, he happily told us that it had taken a bit of perseverance for them to introduce the dish to the customers but it's now one of their popular items. (If you want to know, no it doesn't taste like chicken. It is a bit like pig lung, which Miguel says make sense as they both share the same feature...) We also ordered the more mundane roasted pork Barraida style. They make it weekly every Wednesday, but as it was Thursday and they still had some, we were able to try it. Miguel's family is from Barraida, famous for leitao assado, and they sure know how to make it right. Instead of regular potato chips, they use sweet potato as well as local greens. You may think that Pigmeu only caters to carnivores, but it actually has a section on the menu for vegetables, and it's not just a token service for vegetarians. Pigmeu gets their vegetables through farm share, so instead of ordering their veggies, they get delivered a box of what the farmers grow and create their menu around it. It comes as no surprise that my husband said it's the best cabbage he's eaten. If you like wine, their list is all organic.

Food was excellent, superb, and the flavor was magnificent. Service was amazing and the atmosphere was great. I'm glad we came here and it will not be my last.

Food was very good Small servings so order more than you think Very out of the way Ambiance was laid back

Pork based tapas and sandwiches. Cosy atmosphere. Food was really good. No english menu but they explained everything.
