    Super cool terrace and trendy hotspot for brunch and evening drinks right in the center of Chiado. the views are fantastic, I especially appreciated the view to the elevator which is quite unique and I had never seen it from that angle. The food is really good too and in my opinion, well priced. The service was very friendly and efficient. I also appreciated that there was so much space, there are several levels with one of them having loungers. It feels very relaxing. It was difficult though to find the entrance using Google Maps - the entrance is done via Convento do Carmo.

    Diese Aussicht! Wir waren hier als die Sonne unterging und die gegenüberliegende Seite wurde in Gold getaucht. Großartig! Dazu hat man einen tollen Blick auf den Aufzug Santa Justa. Im Lokal kann man auf zwei Ebenen draußen sitzen. Hier bläst der Wind ganz ordentlich, es empfiehlt sich sehr eine dicke Jacke mitzunehmen. Das Essen war gut, mehr aber auch nicht. Die Cocktails hingegen waren fabelhaft. Der Service war sehr freundlich und sehr aufmerksam. Wenn ich noch mal kommen würde würde ich nur was trinken und die Aussicht genießen. Diese ist mindestens sieben Sterne wert, daher volle Bewertung.

    Pros: amazing view and tasty pizza, vegetarian options. Cons: burrata was fake, as you can see on the photo it’s not knitted at the top and doesn’t look like pouch. Also usually when you cut it open the inside stracciatella immediately runs out and is very watery inside. This one was as firm as a cake and the taste was very different from real burrata. Also it took some time to get attention of the waitress, even when all the plates were empty she didn’t bother to take away unless we asked and it took another 5 min. She didn’t come to our arrived friends to take the order and when they called her she said wait like we were a lumber for her so we decided to leave straight away.

    Hard to find the entrance. You have to come up to the museum to find this place!! Super nice view of lisbon and the castle, average food and drinks but I’d recommend just to enjoy the view

    To go there you need to go up to Carmo, walk down the small street right of Carmo and then go down the stairs! Good place for drinks with a nice view and atmosphere!

    I remember enjoying the pizza quite a bit, but it's very hard to find pizza that I personally dislike + I had been drinking the entire day and night… So I can't give the most confident opinion. Also, Harold paid.

    We had a lovely afternoon here. Nice hot August Saturday, but no problem getting a table in the afternoon. Staff was great; friendly and efficient. Prices were reasonable given that this is a tourist part of the city. Food was really nice. We had a pizza and their Caesar salad. both were well prepared, very tasty and fresh. tip for finding this place: on Rua do Carmo, there's a shop called "Oslo" that has an elevator in it to take you up to the main area for Topo Chiado and the nearby Carmo Rooftop. Saves a lot of steps.

    Aussicht ganz nett, Preise gehen so, Personal naja, Speisen ganz i. O., aber ein absolutes no go sind solche Toiletten, und genau drum nur 2* Das Urinal ist total überlaufen, noch schlimmer war das WC. Es war total verdreckt, der Deckel vom Spülkasten hat schon mal ganz gefehlt, und zu guter letzt gab es auf dieser Toilette nicht einmal Seife zum Händewaschen,, Hygiene lässt grüssen.

    Uff this bar has it all but the main attraction is the view. From here you can see the city and the elevator too. With a nice seating area to enjoy this perfect city's outdoor, this is the bar to be. We had wine and kept on our adventure!

    Erst wollten wir direkt an der Bar die Drinks bestellen, bezahlen und an einen freien Tisch mitnehmen. Dann hieß es, wir sollen uns hinsetzten, die Bedienung kommt gleich. Nach 15 Minuten warten, habe ich an der Bar bestellt und bezahlt. Weitere 10Minuten später kamen beide Cocktails. Optisch gut. Geschmacklich viel Saft, wenig Alkohol und das für fast €20,-. Dennoch ist der Ausblick überragend. Ob eine Partylocation direkt an einer Kirche sein muss, bleibt fragwürdig. Aufgrund Service und Cocktail würden wir nicht mehr herkommen.

    The ambiance is amazing here, because you can see the whole city from a nice view. Serving was quick and the food was fine. I was, although, expecting to have more/other options than pizza/burger/salad. The toilet wasn't very neat either.

    Excellent rooftop to enjoy some beer or sangria with a nice view over centre Lisbon. The staff is friendly and the ambience is relaxed with live dj. The prices are not low but for the location is normal.

  • 4/5 Hey Its G. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is obviously beautiful and a hot commodity piece of real estate! Then again so is just about everywhere in Portugal! Just beautiful. We enjoyed a great meal and a few cocktails overlooking the city. It’s easy to love this place with the sweeping views and tasty food but here are a few of my loves 😊 + no likes 😑 😑 The Wait. Regardless of making a reservation, there is still typically a wait to be seated. I get it tho, once you sit down you tend to take your time soaking up all the sun and vibes from the rooftop. You never wanna get up and leave. 😂 😊 The food. Everything was yummy. We also had empanadas but since we were waiting for some time we ate them up so fast e forgot to take a picture! Lol! 😑 The Hike. OMG! Get ready to get ALLLLL your steps in here, lol! Apparently there is a shortcut elevator through a single store but we couldn’t find it 😩 We walked all the way up the bill past Zara to the top of Chiado near the park then through the gates and stone walks past the monastery to the back gates where the Topo Chiado entrance was. Needless to say, I recommend finding the elevator door, lol! The long way is a doozy to walk! 😊 The Service. Once we were seated the service was good and as quick as you can hope for at a busy restaurant. Our server made great suggestions and was pretty attentive for such a busy place. Would definitely eat here again!

    Great views, very comfortable. Staff is attentive and very nice. An overall good experience aldough a negative point is a very simple drinks menu that doesn't do justice to the environment of the place. To eat we tried a vegetable crepe that was flavour depleted - not a plate to be proud.

    Beautiful views, and due to its convoluted way to get there, it's not busy at all. Well worth it.

  • 5/5 Petra L. 4 years ago on Google • 88 reviews
    Great restaurant/bar tucked away behind the old basilica. Sum drenched terraces, great views, nice light meals which were not too pricey. Service was excellent and quick. Not too many people either so good place to avoid the elevator crowds while having a drink.

    Visible from the Santa Justa Lift. Amazing view of the lift and the city all the way up to Castelo de S. Jorge. The food was decently priced, excellent quality, with generous lunch options. The packages come with two drinks so I accidentally ended up with four total! Beautiful spot in the shade of the Convent on a sunny afternoon.

  • 5/5 Valentin V. 4 years ago on Google • 69 reviews
    AMAZING view and location! I am in love with the Topo Martim Moniz but this one is also great, especially for the view. The food menu is small but food is fresh and good so it is a good point too. We ended at the bar on the lower floor after dîner but my advice would be to stay at the restaurant if you want to continue the evening - a lot of people and a big waiting line for cocktails, the drinks menu is also different downstairs so if they are as good as the Martim Moniz Topo you should stay upstairs ;)

    Cool and chill place. We had some cocktails that were pretty good. The landscape is also good, and you can also enjoy some music. Just do not forget to bring a jacket or a small pull by night as it is in the shades quite early and then it can be a bit cold

  • 4/5 P. Valeria Valenzuela G. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful views, good food, and ambiance. Great place to stop, relax and rest before continuing shopping or sightseeing.

  • 4/5 Darío G. 1 year ago on Google
    Good views of Lisbon. Great for a chilled drink but a little pricey for the city. Worth to go and enjoy the view

  • 2/5 Denym B. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a shame, a lovely roof top location (not good for sunsets, as it sets on the other, not visible side), and a rich wine menu but ruined by obnoxious and lazy service. Was made to feel as if we shouldn’t have even been there. Recommend you avoid and spend your money where you’d be welcome.

  • 4/5 Paige 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing views of the city. No issues getting a table mid afternoon for some drinks, good selection of drinks. Right next to the viewing platform of Santa Justa Lift so ideal for a stop after visiting this.

  • 4/5 Rafael S. 2 years ago on Google
    The exterior terrace is the best part of this business, very nice view to the castle. The service is good and fast, in my opinion the food is good but a bit overpriced for what it is. You pay mostly for the views and it is what it is. Nice for tourists I guess

  • 4/5 Akaila C. 5 years ago on Google • 21 reviews
    Loved the rooftop view. Would have like the sangria to have fresh fruit in it for the price. But it was a big pitcher. Perfect to share between two and tasted great. Great for a small bite of food but the drinks seem to be their specialty.

  • 3/5 Guy H. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool place, awesome setting. Unfortunately service is very slow and disorganised… 3 people behind the bar and only 1 working.. friendly but useless..
