Noobai is in the old town area. It was a great suggestion! Noobai is a restaurant and a bar. The fantastic views included a large steel suspension bridge, the Tagus River, and very scenic landscapes. We had a very good view of the sunset too. The weather was perfect for this outdoor setting. They also had indoor seating with great views on several levels and great music too. There were many people sitting on a nearby hill just to enjoy the awesome view. We had a reservation, so we were seated quickly. Our group of six got very good service. Our waiter was excellent and very friendly! All the staff spoke perfect English, including our waiter. The owner/manager was equally friendly and very helpful. Our waiter made several suggestions that we enjoyed very much. The drinks were great, and all the food and tapas were delicious! If you are in Lisbon, you must make a reservations and enjoy the food, service, ambience, and views at Noobai! We certainly did!

The potatoes, broccoli and tomatoes were well seasoned too. Sadly, the WiFi was down and the area extremely noisy due to construction. The construction was responsible for the WiFi interruption according to the waiter. Service was friendly but they were also admittedly understaffed and it was impossible to have a convo with all the nearby work. Hopefully this will not last into the fall. My recommendation check this place out at night, for the view at the very least. Skip the daytime trip (unless street drilling is your cup of tea.

The views and comfort of this place make you never want to leave (there's even blankets on every chair incase it gets cold! The staff was very friendly and spoke perfect English to us! We were quickly seated and attended to. We tried a few things from the menu and some were a hit and some were a miss. SUPER YES to the Warm Mushroom Salad which I still crave. The Feta and Olives tapas were also very good. NO to the Smoked Salmon Naan. It was very plain and didn't have much going on. I definitely recommend this spot for at least one meal if the weather is nice and warm. It's very relaxing and the views can't be beat.

The romantic views from multi level terraces! The chill 90s music! It's a magical place that's accessible to all ages and budgets; the kind of place you'll want to end your night at, every night, when in Lisbon. The best memories are made on rooftop bars with river views, but there are only a handful of them to be found in Lisbon. Noobai and Park were two of our faves. Noobai is more laid back, casual and less club like. Park is more hip and sceney, with slightly higher up views. Both are worth a trip, but Noobai is more approachable if you're feeling a little scruffy. My favorite part was when I ordered a pina colada, but was convinced it didn't have any rum in it. I marched up to the bar and nicely asked for an extra splash of rum. The bartender happily agreed, and with a mischievous smile, proceeded to top off my glass with a few shots of top shelf dark rum. It took me all night to suck it down, it was so strong. I could taste the rum this time not complaining! Good vibes, great views, golden memories. Thanks Noobai!

' I had the herb crusted cod which was a generous piece of fish although again not an outstanding taste. What I did really like about Noobai though is the two terraces with stunning water views, the extremely friendly and efficient service and the cosy and colourful interior space. It 's also very reasonably priced given its excellent location.
