What people say

Ariel Blakeman
"There’s no shortage of tasting menus available in Lisbon, but few offer the creativity of SEM. Dishes are created specifically to combat food waste and ingredients are chosen from local farmers according to seasonality. Jars of fermented tomatoes, peppers, and artichokes line the walls alongside bottles of natural wine and syrups created for cocktails—from the minute you sit down, you'll be absolutely intrigued. Fortunately, there's not a single dish that could disappoint; whether it's egg white garum crunch—which somehow manages to transform regular egg white into something of a cross between tempura and a really delicious crisp—or sourdough bread served with leftover sourdough bread miso butter. And while ingredients are undoubtedly sophisticated and dishes are beautifully presented, this is an extremely affordable tasting menu compared with other local offerings. Add the wine pairing to put the cherry on top."
