BouBou's
One of my better meals in Lisbon! Boubou's was quiet when I met a friend for dinner at 7:30 PM on Thursday (though pretty busy when we left around 10:00), but service was pleasant and attentive, without being overly so, despite the increasing number of filled tables. The menu is simple, and even smaller tonight without raw oysters and (not raw) lamb kebabs on the menu. We concurred decisively with recommendations by our server for a red wine and a white wine, and moved on to ordering dinner. Appetizers include bread (grilled, and incredibly good), fried calamari, and salmon tartar with horseradish sauce. They were perfect starters. Mains included spaetzle with sea bass, and pappardelle with crab, clams, mussels, and seafood broth. Both mains: out of this world! No room for dessert, but looking forward to that on a future visit. LIvely atmosphere but quiet enough to manage most conversation. All in all, an excellent meal at a modest cost. (2 glasses of wine, 2 starters, 2 mains, 83 euro)
Went back for a second night in a row while traveling abroad. Service was great as was the food! The staff remembered us and were bright and attentive!
Fantastic food, drinks and service. Oysters and sea bass was amazing.
Super nice experiment for our couple! Great service and food as well. I don’t think it’s expensive at all. Definitely I wanna visit again when I go to Lisbon!
From the second we arrived our experience began. Our hosts were attentive and took the time to understand us. Their knowledge of the menu and wine list was exceptional and was a true representation of what was served to us. The food was exquisite, the cocktails divine, surroundings sublime. We couldn’t recommend this enough and can’t wait to return.
The lamb is a must order. Also try the tapioca marshmallows, it sounds weird but they are great.
Great food in a beautiful setting. The staff were really lovely and this was some of the best service we had in Lisbon.
BouBou’s is a charming spot on a quiet side street in Principe Real. The ebullient and dapper proprietors, Alex and Joris, have created a neighborhood jewel with excellent food in an elegant setting.
Slightly chilly in the covered back yard.
Polite and efficient service.
Delicious artichoke soup.
Amazing food. You can taste the enthusiasm of a dedicated team. Delicious to taste, beautyful to look at, sunny, bright and happy-making! Well sourced products, nice wine list. Parabéns!
What a great fine in Lisbon! Fresh ingredients, amazing staff!
Location is a little dificult for parking, however, we came with a baby (and baby stroller), the staff was prompt to help us parking and help with the stroller.
Very nice staff, great food, fantastic atmosphere.
Best customer experience. Excellent food and service in a beatiful environment 😊
Great venue and great food.
This restaurant has it all: great service, food, wine and beautiful decor! I would highly recommend BouBou's.
a unique experience, unique atmosphere and marvelous food, 10/10 food obviously stayed in my TOP 5.
This is an absolute gem in one of Lisbon's nicest neighborhoods. High quality, creative menu. Attentive and eloquent staff. You can not wish for more.
Amazing food, friendly and talented staff, beautiful decoration, great and creative cocktail. I Loved this place
We had the lunch menu. The food was very tasty, with an original twist. The ambiance was very nice. We stayed in the interior garden. Even with the lunch menu, it's not a place to have lunch everyday, because
it's still an expensive menu for an everyday restaurant. But, overall, the experience was worth the visit.
excellent food, great wines and value for money. Very pleasant!
Lovely atmosphere with a varied menu and great service. Could offer more vegetarian options but that is a personal opinion! Great Christmas decor, perfect place for Christmas celebrations
Anna/Joris had great food/drink recommendations and provided amazing service. The food was excellent and hope to visit again on our next trip. Thank you!
Ate here on the last night of our trip to Lisbon, we were seated at "bar seating" which was actually right at the kitchen which gave us a great view of what was going on, and able to watch the three great chefs do what they do.
The food was great. Tasty, creative and interesting. With a lot of staff milling around the place, and always happy to help and offer friendly advise.
Only slight mark against was the temperature of the hotel. We visited in November when the nights get quite chilly, and the restaurant seems to be more designed for the warmer months of the year and is therefore quite open. This causes a draft through the restaurant that makes it a little less comfortable than it should be.
Other then that, I can recommend
cosy atmosphere, delicious food and excellent, service!
The food was good; but it was too much cold in the área where we have been seated.
The wine list was poor.
Fantastic soop (the one with trufle)
A litle bit expensive
Fabulous experience all around.
Amazing interior and exceptional service
All doors were open, too cold and windy inside the restaurant, uncomfortable throuhout the whole lunch. The food took too long to be served, eventhough it was delicious.
I had the best risotto in my life. All the rest was excelent, but the risotto was out of the roof.
We enjoyed our evening here very much. The food was really good. We had the pasta and it was excellent. The soup could have been warmer but that was a minor problem. After our meal they called us a taxi so we could get back to our hotel. Excellent service!
I was never disappointed. The service is perfect, the food is amazing ! And the cocktails are so good !!!
It was quite an experience. Amazing food, gentle staff and great ambience.
Excellent restaurant with High ambition. Great Portuguese wine selection and knowledgeable sommelier service.
Great Food. Lamb shoulder for two is a must!! Great ambiance.
Lovely ambience, terrific service and great food. We were completely pleased with our entire experience. Later diners get better seating in the open kitchen, which reflects the euro tendency to later dinners.
Our best meal in Lisbon, can’t wait to come back. Delicious lamb.
Great place in Lisbon. Amazing cocktails and great service
The staff is very friendly and nice. We were a group of 8 which make the service slower. Everything that we ordered was very tasty, fresh and good. We all loved the place. Cocktails and wine selection was very good.
Einfach nur genial. Die Lammschulter war der Hammer!!
We’re visiting from Canada on our honeymoon and had an amazing experience at Boubou’s. The moment we arrived early for our reservation, the kind host seated us at the bar to start off. Fabio our bartender was phenomenal. He was not only a talented bartender but he was also very knowledgeable and courteous. He even gave us a list of places to check out during our stay. We were then transferred to our table (by the wonderful host - which we didn’t catch his name) where we then ordered a few more appetizers and wine. Our server was not as pleasant however the table was beautiful and tucked away in the corner.
Overall a fantastic experience. My recommendation would be to sit at the bar and have Fabio take care of you. His service was the most memorable part of our evening.
