I don’t really know where to begin with this review. I ended up here at a work dinner during a conference, and I have no words to explain this experience. I didn’t know it was a prix fixe menu and sprung upon them that I was vegetarian last minute- and they treated me beyond my wildest dreams. Each dish was exceptional, fresh, with perfect textural/flavor/temperature variation. I cannot recommend this enough, if you are ever in Lisbon (or even planning on coming to Portugal) you cannot miss it. The passion and love for food from the head chef and everyone here truly shines. Enjoy :)

Lovely experience focused on Portuguese gastronomy and local ingredients. The evening at Loco was a great way to learn more about the rich tradition of Portuguese cuisine. The food was excellent, well calibrated so you’re full at the end of the 16-course but not exploding, and beautifully presented. Favorites were the cockerel appetiser and the octopus. Stylish decoration and nice relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant. Very attentive staff and a lot of information provided on each dish and wine pairing.

Really special experience with amazing service and delicious unique food and flavors. I was traveling alone and they were so welcoming and responsive, the pictures cannot do this place justice. The tasting menu and wine pairing is absolutely the best move here and I guarantee you’ll be delighted by everything the chef has to offer

When we want to make a review on a Michelin restaurant I believe we should take our time. If not for any another reason, because you just paid 200 Eur per person :-)  and you are supposed to experience something not ordinary.
I’ll start with the environment and decoration. It’s a nice simple restaurant, nothing too fancy or surprising in terms of decoration. But I believe people are not looking for fancy stuff when they come here. They have one really nice detail, and that is the kitchen open to the room, so you get to see all-time the staff running around to prepare the food. That brings a nice dynamics to the place, so for me definitely a plus. Also this allows the customer to understand how much work these guys put on the preparation. Cooking people also brings food to the table, explaining what we are about to taste (makes sense, because there is no menu).
On the staff, I must say they are really nice, friendly and available. The service I may say is excellent. Most of the staff are just young “kids”, but that is not necessary a bad thing. My only note on the staff is, due to a very demanding level of service, these “poor” guys are basically running all night to make the necessary. When I say running, it is literally running some times :-). In my opinion, despite the staff never allows the clients to realize their stress level when interacting with us, I felt that the stress was a little in the air. You feel it around you (as I said despite all efforts from the people not to show it), so it does not contribute for your comfort during the meal. In such place it would be expected to have a more calm atmosphere around you. The other thing I notice, on the down side, was the noise. The noise was really loud and in the end, after more than 2 hours, my head was exploding. Maybe I was unlucky.
Now, coming to the most important part: the food. When I come to such places I expect to be surprised with different food experience, exotic dishes, outside the usual, etc. etc. Well, in that perspective LOCO achieve the goal. We actually eat different exotic food, or at least very different food preparation of some common goods. The only problem is… different is not necessarily good, and I must confess, from the around 20 things I tried (between starters, main, desserts, sides, etc.) I did not dislike anything (except one, because I don’t like Oysters, but that is a personal thing), I really liked 4 or 5, but the majority I found totally indifferent… meaning it did not bring me any especial feeling or sensations. Also, the type of goods used are not especially "noble", I mean, they are never using some super XPTO caviar, Black Diamond Truffles, shell fish from Alaska or Kobe meat :-)… I say this as a joke, but my point is that when we come to such places, it is also part of the experience to taste some unusual stuff. I know the LOCO philosophy is based precisely on that concept of using the season regional goods, etc etc, but I do not find this a plus, considering the expectations on the meal. So, when it comes to the food (and that is the major part in a restaurant) it is quiet disappointing and that’s the major reason for my lower classification (3/5). To finalize few things I must say in favor. They manage to keep a great pace on the meal, where during 2 hours there is not a single boring moment. Basically during two hours there is always something happening. So it is a “fun” entertainment experience and that is a plus. Also the wine list, for the restaurant level, does not “burn” your wallet with crazy prices, and that is respectable. Because I was driving, I could not take the wine menu experience, and that was a pity. To conclude I’m sorry for not giving more positive feedback. Please note it was not a frustrating experience, I did not regret to come, but honestly I expected more, mainly on the food part!

This was my first time at a Michelin star restaurant and boy it did not disappoint! I made this reservation 3 months in advance for our wedding anniversary. This was the coolest and craziest culinary experience. The menu consisted of 16 “moments” that are based on seasonal offerings and are inspired by Portuguese flavors. The food was incredible and the service simply impeccable. They also offer wine pairings or you can order by the glass.
This was a very special experience that we will never forget! They even added another “moment” for us because of our special occasion. Compliments to the chef and the entire Loco team for making our night so very special.
