A few things you should know. Seating is on tiny chairs and tiny tables. It’s not very comfortable so make sure you are coming for the food. They make some excellent cocktails. And of course they have a good wine selection. Menu is really short. But what they have is really good. So come with an open mind and be willing to try something new. The pork cheeks stood out but so did the sweet potato. Delicious! Best thing on the menu was the bowl of mussel with blood sausage sprinklings.

We booked a table at 21.00 and stayed there until the end. We ordered everything from the menu (cause it’s sharing plates) and I have to say that all the plates were perfectly executed and you could see and taste the creativity behind each dish. Just to mention some of the dishes: Clams with that great xo sauce, roasted potatoes with fish eggs (could have eaten those forever) or the oyster mushroom taco (especially for the ones who love it spicy)… And not to forget they also have great gin and tequila based cocktails! I tried the Mister Maestro and the Sweet Papal loved it!! I had a perfect birthday at Queimado thank you!

But I can 't bring myself to go back to this place, ever, especially in a city like Lisbon that is buzzing with new openings almost every week, and with a culinary scene growing better every day. I did not like a single thing of Queimado: the food, which was meh , the place: a loud, nonsensical and badly lit cave, where a funky and unappetising smell kept lingering. The poultry we ordered was so dry I could hear Gordon Ramsay scream, and a mushroom hard shell taco (yes, you read that right) crumbled miserably in our hands, so brittle that was impossible to eat. I had sticky food all over my hands, and not enough napkins. I avoided the dessert, and ran away without trying anything else cocktail nor wine. Perhaps, this place is not meant for someone like me.

For sure a place to no come back.
