Rich and interesting menu. Opportunity to watch chefs prepare. Great ambiance and attentive staff. They ran out of a few items presumably due to a tour group visiting which felt limiting for the menu.

Wir wurden freundlich empfangen. Wir hatten einen sehr schön Tisch im Garten. Tolles Ambiente. Das Essen und auch die Empfehlung des Weines hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen.
Wir kommen ganz bestimmt wieder. Dann gerne auch im
Innen Bereich mit Blick auf die Küche.

Hubby brought me to BouBou’s to celebrate my birthday while we were visiting Lisbon. Our server was super attentive and very nice. The food was amazing! We ended up trying a number of small plates because it all sounded so delicious. We both enjoyed a dessert and the staff came out with a candle on mine and sang happy birthday. We wish we could visit again, but we will come back n st time we are in Lisbon.

Incredibly beautiful interior. We sat in the covered back area and the plants and lights and decor just made it all feel really romantic and lovely. We got the lamb for two and it was delicious!! 65 euro for an app, the lamb main and a few sodas. Good deal!

We totally enjoyed our meal at BouBou’s. The short ribs and lamb dishes are outstanding. We also recommend the truffle mashed potatoes, broccoli, and rabbit appetizer. The service was impeccable. Our waitress recommended dishes and let us know we shouldn’t order a bunch of sides with the lamb as it is a rather large dish.

Everything here was amazing!!! The ambiance, the incredibly well thought out, knowledgeable and friendly service (we had the best waitress EVERY), the delicious food and the dangerously good drinks (the espresso martinis are a must) were definitely a 10/10. We loved Lisbon and would DEFINITELY be going back to BouBou’s for dinner when we return.
My boyfriend wanted to eat there every night.
Please come to New York so we can eat there daily!!!!

My boyfriend and I accidentally reserved the wrong restaurant last night. But we are so happy that we did. The food, service and ambience were phenomenal. The must try is the octopus. Best we ever had. It was soft and flavorful, without any hint of chewiness. We discovered that the chef worked with top Michelin starred chefs. Her brother works the front of the house. He made the experience even more wonderful. We hope that they open a restaurant back home in Washington DC.

I would definitely recommend BouBou's. The staff could not have been friendlier and more helpful. We were lost getting to the restaurant and someone stayed on the phone with me AND came out into the street to help us find it! The menu is very interesting and innovative, a good wine selection, and just a quiet, lovely dining experience.

A truly wonderful experience. We are in town from NYC & wanted a place where we felt comfortable but also offered a true Lisbon experience. The ambiance was quaint and cozy, with a cute garden that’s covered. Our waiter was fantastic, super friendly and extremely attentive. The food was AMAZING. The steak tartare and tuna ceviche were outstanding. Great wine list & full bar. Highly recommend!

Sometimes when traveling I rely on Opentable to just narrow the spectrum of choices and guarantee that I’ll get seated on my schedule. I used it our first night in Lisbon for these reasons. Turns out the place is a gem: the food was exquisitely flavored, and the atmosphere and service were equal to the cuisine. If BouBou were back home I’d be eating there all the time!
