Portuguese
Originally a wine bar, Paralelo 45 evolved in the past few months thanks to the inspiration of Portuguese Chef Carlos Soares who joined us after working in the kitchen of prestigious Michelin star restaurant Vila Joya in Algarve. Despite this recent transformation, the identity of Paralelo 45 remains as we still have solid relationships with Portuguese wine producers as well as our international opening. Today, our concept focuses on the offer of gourmet dishes, Portuguese and French, elaborated thanks to fresh Portuguese products through our chef’s French technique. The restaurant is divided into two spaces which leave our guests the choice between dining in the lively atmosphere of our main room and the cosy and private ambience of the tasting room.

Nice simple but classy and intimate setting. Marco our server was excellent and attentive without being too pushy. The food was high quality. We had the charcuterie plate and my eife had the sea bream. We were able to sample some great local reds all at a reasonable price.

We had just arrived in Portugal and our appetites were still on USA time, so we got a 7 pm reservation, the first available after opening. There's a pleasant urban vibe to Paralelo 45 that my wife and I enjoyed a great deal. The food was great, as was the wine. Once a large party arrived around 8 pm, the staff became a bit stretched and service suffered toward the end, but overall, the dining experience was lovely.

When in Lisbon, I found this restaurant here on open table and decided to give it a shot. It was a nice 20 minute walk from our hotel in the city centre. Well worth the walk, the food was outstanding. Attentive staff, quiet ambiance and lovely presentation. Wish we could have come back again for a second time while in Portugal, but had lots of other parts of the country to explore. One of our best meals for sure.

Overall the meal and wine was fantastic and very reasonably priced, although in a high class setting. We had the tunu which is served slightly cooked but mostly raw and delicious! We had the charcuterie board and was great, especially the hams and cheeses. The lamb shank is to die for...like candy. Would go back

Nice atmosphere and service. Excellent food. This is definitely a restaurant to choose if you expect a very pleasant evening. Wine sommelier very helpful regarding the choosing of the wine. Food presentation is a work of art and the combination of flavors in the different dishes ordered were excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my travelling friends.

This was my favorite restaurant in Lisbon during my 5 day visit. The charcuterie board for two provided a huge variety of meats, dried fruit, and pickled vegetables. The poached sea bass was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and matched the delicious side of grilled vegetables. My favorite was the grilled octopus which was perfectly seasoned and very tender. Finishing the dinner with their not overly sweet creme brûlée was perfect. Also, their wine and whiskey made for a wonderful evening!

Quite area and the staff was very attentive. It was quite when we got there but then it got very busy. Seemed we were rushed near the ending as they might have needed our table. Excellent food, wine and ambience.

This was the most beautiful and wonderful dinner we had in not only Lisbon, but all of Portugal. First, Immanuel and Marco were wonderful and took amazing care of us. We had the Portuguese board, the organic tomatoes, wine, the pasta with duck, vegetarian meal of the day, tuna, and lamb. Each one of us were so happy with our meals. Dessert was delicious. Coffee and port as well. We were just so happy with this experience and highly recommend this restaurant.
