Very friendly wine staff , will walk you through all of the wines made by Jose Maria da Fonseca and taste anything to help you discover your right wine

Michael Ducker

All the wines are from one maker but some are good and they'll let you try all of them before buying.. a 4-8euro bottle. Make sure to eat the azeitão cheese and jamon iberico !

Monica Desai

!!!! 3 euro wines , ample charcuterie boards and lovely ambience. I could go everyday

Jing Gao

One of my favorite finds in my two weeks in Lisbon. Go for amazing and affordable wine , food, service and ambience. Modern, classy and relaxed, it typifies Lisbon

Nic Comley

Organised a wine tasting for 13 and it was amazing! Had our own area in the back, 3 wines and lots of lovely meat and cheese . Staff were lovely. Such a great wine bar .

Emre Ersahin

Amazing charcuterie , amazing wine , amazing atmosphere. You need to make a reservation if you want a table. Otherwise bar seating is great, too.

Johnny Koutiolas

Great wine bar . You'll love the atmosphere and the vibes here. The service is super kind and willing to help you find the right tastes. I was dazzled by the meticulously prepared cheese plates .

Florian Schenkel

Great tapas&wine spot. The wine selection is fantastic and they are generally open letting you try a few before ordering. On the food side definitely order the mushrooms as they are delicious.

altay Kermooglu

Nice ambiance, chic and cozy . Decent prices for high quality indigenious wines and food served by a very attentive staff . Already became one of my favourite spots in Lisbon.

Jonas Vanhauter

Nice selection of wine . Prego do lombo excellent. Great charcuterie platter but pass on the cheese . Go for the 2004 muscatel, more balanced. Reservation recommended. Mixed crowd tourist/locals.

Marco Voormolen

Great and unusual wines . Staff with decent wine knowledge (Albeit limited to the wines And grapes they serve themselves). Excellemt bites to accompany the wine . Most certainly recommended!

Maja Todor

Great place to have wine and some cheese and meat selection. Chatarina , beautiful and great girl who works here, was so nice and gave us many tips. Prices are ok

Sandeep Madhur

Knowledgeable bartenders on the wines . Paired nicely with the bollota chorizo , which was delicious but large even the individual portion (so come hungry - it’s worth it!)

Márcio Venturi

Six oysters fresh as ocean. José de Sousa mayor spectacular wine : punch in the mouth. The reserve sparkling wine reserva (5€) is not worth it. Great decor. Excellent service .

Stacey Brook

A trendy new wine bar with wines by the glass from the well-known vintner José Maria da Fonseca. A great pre-dinner stop with small dishes of local cheese , cured meats , and oysters .

Anthea Baird

Even if you stop in for just one drink you're made to feel welcome. Excellent selection and they're happy to offer a tasting.

Daphne Ko

One of my favorite places in Lisbon. Huge selection of wines and amazing charcuterie plates . Go there for an aperitif, for dinner or after dinner . Can’t do no wrong ;)

David Abensour

A lovely long bar to sit at and drink, talk and eat with plenty to see... including the vaulted ceiling lined rather beautifully with empty bottles

REna ???? BAk

Great place in Lisbon close to Barrio Alto. Take stuff to share and their white sangria

Tereza Palaonta

My most favorite wine bar in Lisbon. Staff is very attentive. Their cheese and ham platters are delicious. Try octopus carpaccio .

Engin Bali

Olives, shitake mushroom , cheese and meat platter, chocolate cake and Verdelho white wine . But most importantly, the staff was the best.

Tuğçe E.

Tasty wines (you can try before select), great service, delicious carpaccio and cheese plate . Nice atmosphere, highly recommended!

Igor Arkhipov

Beautiful place to spend an evening with a glass of wine . Be prepared to wait until your table is ready, the demand is high.

Michiel Berger

Nice wines , good food, but bear in mind that all wine is from the same producer. It's more of a flagship store (still good of course) than a true wine bar . Manage your expectations.

Adi Hahn

Cool spot, nice atmosphere. Great wine selection ! Have the Green wine ???? Also great ham and cheese selection . Highly recommended ????‍♀️

Emanuele Serenelli

Good wine at reasonable price in a suggestive atmosphere

Order some small bites and keep the chilled wine coming. Perfect place to spend a late afternoon with friends.

Herşey güzel ancak hesabı öderken içki ve yiyecekten extra tax giydiroyorlar! Everything is good however they ask for extra tax fee for the food and alcohol !
