Pharmácia

I started with a killer drink, even thought it was lunch time, but hey it was my holiday. I got the LSD: the name was appropriate. A mix of whiskey and Ginjia that knocks you off. Being a cheese fanatic I ordered an assiete of cheeses all local and all tasty. Then baccala croquette and a pork dish which was quite on the heavy side but small enough. The place and the grounds are just the perfect spot to consume the meal.

Just walked there and it appears that they do not open until 1pm (13h). Will wait by the water and enjoy the beautiful weather! Food was great. Worthwhile stop

Beautiful view wit food to match. I would go back tomorrow

Quel beau souvenir de Lisbonne cette soirée ! La décoration du lieu est très soignée, chaque détail à son importance et l’ambiance y est parfaitement feutrée. En attendant d’avoir notre table, nous avons pu profiter de l’élégante terrasse en sirotant un bon porto. Le principe de ce restaurant (et comme beaucoup d’autres à Lisboa) c’est de partager les plats. C’est donc ultra convivial. Les quantités né sont pas gargantuesques, les tarifs sont un peu élevés, mais c’est bon. Alors si vous passez à Lisbonne, allez-​y (en ayant réservé) !

Just out of this place where we got some nice tapas: eggplant rolls with goat cheese, duck croquettes, shrimps and some sweet one with a goat cheese cake (look crazy but taste nice) and a white chocolate crime brûlée. The service was friendly and fast.
The décor and style is really something for that place all details are made to make you feel as part of the pharmacy: the way the menu is written, the bottles etc
A nice place outside of tourist beaten path!

Super déçue de cette adresse. J’avais pourtant lu de très bons avis sur ce restaurant. En passant par hasard devant au détour d’une balade, la grande terrasse avec la jolie vue nous a décidé à réserver une table pour un autre soir de la semaine. On m’explique qu’aucune résa n’est possible en terrasse mais que si une table est libre au moment où nous venons elle sera pour nous. Je réserve donc pour 20h, on me précise qu’on devra libérer la table à 22h pour le 2ème service. Soit…
Arrive le D-​DAY: on arrive à avoir une table en terrasse Yihaaa !
On commande donc des cocktails aux noms «pharmaceutiques» avec des tapas. A noter que ceux-​ci sont assez chers par rapport aux prix observés à Lisbonne (comptez 10 € par tapas en sachant qu’ils conseillent 1 tapas et demi par personne)
S’en suit une mascarade au niveau du service: au bout d’une vingtaine de minutes le vin arrive, nous n’aurons jamais nos cocktails: la serveuse a oublié de passer commande au bar… On nous explique que les 6 tapas que nous avons commandé arriverons au fur et à mesure, finalement ils arrivent tous en même temps.
On demande à voir la carte des desserts: elle n’arrivera jamais.
Bref, un service à revoir et un peu trop cher pour ce que c’est. C’est vraiment le lieu qui sauve les 2 étoiles restantes.

Absolutely amazing. Our waitress (don’t remember name– spoke excellent english and watches hannibal) gave fantastic recommendations. The eggplant rolls and the honeydew melon drinks are a MUST. also the lemon pie in a jar was amazing. We loved everything we tried and would love to come back. The decoration is also adorable. Fantastic overall. we also had the salad with mango slushee– it was delicious and novel. Some dishes here have a twist on the original and we love it!!!

Arrivés à 22h30 on nous propose une table dans 20 minutes. Finalement plus d’une heure après et après avoir observé qu’une table est libre depuis un moment, nous demandons si il est possible de s’y installer. La table est débarrassée et il nous faudra attendre encore un quart d’heure et demander une troisième fois pour pouvoir enfin s’attabler, visiblement le chef de salle nous avait à nouveau oublié.
Nous commandons et commençons finalement à dîner à minuit, les plats sont bien proportionnés et bons, morts de faim ils sont engloutis en 20 minutes. Arrive alors le moment de prendre un dessert, nous demandons a passer commande et la on nous annonce que les cuisines sont fermées et qu’il n’y a donc plus de desserts…
En résumé un bel endroit, un bon restaurant mais le service est mauvais et n’est pas à la hauteur.

Un panorama magnifique sur le Pont du 25 avril et le Cristo Rei, une déco et une architecture incroyable et surtout une carte excellente et abordable.
Le mieux c’est encore de prendre un menu à partager.

Funky ambiance, but enjoyable. Great views from the outside tables, have a drink or two and enjoy the sights. Food was not great. Several of us had the surprise menu and we surprised that it was not good. Best thing was the scallop pasta, try it, you will like it. Service was just ok.

This is a super cute place. The concept and setting are fun. The food is small shareable plates. The scallop pasta and stuffed eggplant were standouts. The other items were good but nothing to write home about. I think on a nice day the outdoor patio would be amazing for a drink. They have craft cocktails and a nice list of Portuguese wines. They serve both lunch and dinner. A reservation is advisable.

Je n’ai jamais été aussi enthousiaste à l’idée d’entrer dans une pharmacie ! A refaire lors d’une prochaine visite de Lisbonne.
Le point fort du restaurant est son ambiance décontractée et sa décoration, quel charme ! Aux murs, de grandes armoires remplies d’objets insolites, témoins d’une autre époque. Sur la table aussi on retrouve une multitude de détails pharmaceutiques (flacons, mesureurs, assiettes style rétro, etc).
Sur les conseils du serveur qui nous a dit qu’à la pharmacie, le concept était de partager sa commande, nous avons chacun pris un plat. Ils étaient originaux et de bonne qualité mais deux d’entre eux sont arrivés presque froids. Les roulades d’aubergines étaient excellentes et j’ai craqué pour les pâtes aux St Jacques! Par ailleurs, la quantité était un peu limite, ce qui m’empêche d’attribuer cinq étoiles à l’établissement.
Petit conseil: penser à réserver (surtout le we), les guides touristiques font l’éloge de la pharmacie et fatalement, elle est prise d’assaut :)

Ce restaurant/​bar a cocktails était dans notre guide. La description est sympa ça donne envie, nous nous sommes donc lancés.
Arrivés en haut (ça grimpe!!!) nous découvrons une grille en fer forge blanche avec derrière une magnifique terrasse avé de l’herbe synthétique, des fleurs, des tables t chaises funs, un grand bar et des lumières partout.
Nous sommes installés a une table et nous détaillons la carte. Au choix, une grande variété de plats sous forme de tapas a partager, une carte de vins et de cocktails. Il t a aussi le menu surprise mais il n’est réservé qu’aux personnes mangeant à l’intérieur (très beau d’ailleurs! Une ancienne pharmacie qui a garde son esprit d’origine)
Nous avons optes pour trois tapas chacun, ce qui était largement suffisant, les portions sont pas mal. Tout était bon mais mon coup de cœur c’était pour ma salade de figues, asperges, jambon, vinaigre balsamique. Une tuerie!!!
Ajouter a la soirée un service rapide et efficace, des prix corrects et vous passez une excellente soirée!!!

Un coup de coeur! Je me souviendrai longtemps de mon passage dans ce resto au concept génial et tout à fait original: on y dine dans un décor d’ancienne pharmacie, sur des petites tables en bois dépareillées avec des tiroirs ou certains ont discrètement glissé leur carte de visite, on y reçoit l’eau dans une ancienne bouteille de sirop pour la toux et on y mange différents plats servis en petites portions dans des récipients plutôt originaux, c’est super amusant! Le papier peint est orné de petites seringues et de sparadraps et les serveurs (super sympas!) ont des stéthoscopes autour du cou. Ca vaut le détour! En plus c’est carrément délicieux! Meme pour les grands mangeurs, je recommande de né pas prendre plus de 4 portions pour deux car c’est servi généreusement!
Petit plus: la journée comme le soir le resto ouvre son super chouette jardin/​terrasse avec une très belle vue sur le Tage.
Je suis fan!

My wife and I, along with about 20 others sitting in our section of the outdoor patio, had a terrible dining experience here today. We came here because my guidebook raved about the quirkiness of this place with its pharmacy themed décor and menu. If you just want to come for a drink on the lawn overlooking the riverfront viewpoint, then maybe its worth a visit. Should you want to eat anything, please go somewhere else.
A major reason for this debacle was the waiter. He might be new or just not cut out for this line of work, but that still does not excuse him. It took us 15 minutes from being seated to get a menu, and that was only when his supervisor stepped in and gave it to us. There was a poor trio sitting across from us who got a menu early on but could not flag him down for over 30 minutes to get their order taken. I’m surprised they didn’t just get up and walk away.
We had walked a lot that hot summer day, so we just wanted to start with a bottle of water to go with our meal. After waiting forever for just the water, our waiter came by with the bottle but no glasses. He said he would go retrieve them. After about 5 minutes, he walked straight past our table with 2 glasses in hand, stood at another table for a moment and then finally remembered they were for us.
Once we finally got our first plate of tapas, we took our first bite, hopeful, because good food can excuse some poor service. But the food was just as terrible. We ordered a chorizo sausage plate, but what we got was 3 rock hard pieces of red tough rubber and 3 pieces of dark black mystery meat that I assume were blood sausages. They were presented awkwardly on top of individual slices of pineapple and orange. All it took was one bite before our appetites receded into the depths of our stomachs, and we knew it was time to call it quits.
Seeing as other diners all around us were unhappy, ignored, brought incorrect orders, and generally frustrated, we saw that there was no hope for us there. I got up to talk to the supervisor and ask if we could just pay for out water and leave. They gave us a little trouble but finally acquiesced. Thank goodness we got out of there only out of 2 euros and before we could find out what our other dish tasted like. I feel sorry for all the other people who stayed and sat through that excruciating experience.
This place may have been great at one time as others have previously mentioned, but it doesn’t take long for a place to go downhill as this place certainly has. Avoid at all costs.

Die Pharmacie ist ein sehr geschmackvolles Restaurant, welches das ehemalige Thema des Gebäudes, eines Apotheker-​Verbandes, witzig, aber nicht aufdringlich umsetzt. Die Rechnung wird in einem Urin-​Becher kredenzt, das Amuse Gueule kommt in einem Messbecher. Öl wird in einem Medikamenten-​Fläschchen serviert. All das sollte aber nicht von der erstklassigen Qualität des Essens ablenken. Wir hatten das Überraschungs-​Menu für 28 € pro Person, und es hat sich definitiv gelohnt. Der Service ist aufmerksam und höflich. Wichtig ist lediglich, dass man vorher reserviert, ansonsten muss man sehr viel Glück haben…

Realmente me ha encantado este sitio, totalmente ambientado dentro del museo de la farmacia, el agua la sirven en un bote de jarabe, y muchas otras cosas temáticas.
La decoración es perfecta, como una gran farmacia antigua, es un ambiente súper agradable y divertido.
La carta se compone de tapas, y también hay opción de menú degustación por 28 euros sin bebida.
El precio de las tapas no es nada exagerado, si bien es cierto q no son para comer a reventar, pero a mi me ha parecido una opción estupenda para empezar el sábado noche lisboeta :)

Restaurante inserido na sede da Associação Nacional de Farmácias, tem
Pormenores de decoração deliciosos! A sala é requintada e o menu funciona à base de petiscos, que podem ser encomendados a solo ou num menu que inclui 3 entradas, prato de peixe, prato de carne e mix de sobremesas por 28 €.
Num grupo de 3 optamos por dividir 5 pratos e chegou perfeitamente! Os charutos de alheira com esparregado de nabiças e o arroz de lingueirão estavam deliciosos!
O serviço é rápido e no verão a esplanada convida a beber uma bebida no jardim!

O espaço está muito bem decorado e a esplanada tem uma vista magnífica. O serviço e a comida são bons. Por outro lado, a tendência a alojar jantares de grupo faz com que o barulho na sala se torne verdadeiramente insuportável. Também não se percebe a lógica de cobrar € 2.5 por cada pãozinho que se come do couvert e ainda menos se percebe que se cobre esse mesmo valor pela água que já está na mesa num frasco de xarope não selado.

During the summer I had the chance to go to Lisbon for a few days and I was lucky enough to try this place.
If memory serves me right it is attached to some sort of medical library. (Could be wrong on the specifics, but definitely a educational building) Don’t let this put you off though, in no way does it feel like an add on. It is a funky and hip bar/​restaurant that simply uses the theme of the place next door to give it, it’s name.
It has large gates that open out into big gardens at the front of it with a mish mash of different chairs and tables. Inside the restaurant it is all done up with what I would guess is 50s or 60s pharmacy tools and furniture. To start we sat outside one afternoon and drank some red wine in the sunshine. It was very peaceful and the staff were really friendly. After watching several meals going by all being serviced with various pharmacy quirks. Such as sauce in a big plastic syringe. We decided we needed to join in.
You can see from my pics we had some small plates and the highlights were the salmon tapas and the steak with chips that were almost crisps. Both dishes were sensational!
We were there in the afternoon, bit when I go back we will go along in the evening as I thin think those large gardens will be bliss to sit in alongside all the locals.

Parece uma farmácia mas não é. Ou melhor, parece uma farmácia mas com mesas e cadeiras. Ou melhor, parece uma farmácia mas, olhando melhor, é um restaurante. Esta sala diferente, porque é um restaurante mas parece uma farmácia, fica integrada no edifício da Associação Nacional de farmácias. Está desvendado o mistério. Ali ao lado, o miradouro de Santa Catarina e, em frente, o Tejo. Muito bem concebido em termos de decoração também não podia estar melhor situado. Não posso dizer que os preços estão ao alcance de todas as bolsas mas, uma vez por outra, ir lá comer uns croquetes de pato com uma cervejinha fresca vai saber-​nos muito bem. Vai valer a pena. E, só pela vista, não vamos dar o nosso dinheiro como desperdiçado.

Quem gosta de brincar às farmácias (acredito que seja muita gente) vai certamente ficar fascinado com o restaurante A Pharmácia. Eu fiquei. Tanto que já lá fui diversas vezes. O espaço é lindo. O restaurante está integrado no edifício da Associação Nacional de Farmácias e a decoração é inspirada nas farmácias e laboratórios dos anos 50. Os pormenores são vários, desde frascos, medicamentos e instrumentos arrumados em armários de época até à água servida em balões de soro de brincar. Uma verdadeira viagem.
A esplanada d’A Pharmácia é um dos ex libris do espaço. Com o rio Tejo no horizonte, de frente para o Miradouro do Adamastor, passam-​se lá bons bocados ao sol, saboreando uma mousse de chocolate com laranja e moscatel roxo (tão bom!) ou bebericando um aperitivo. Apesar de achar que as pessoas que fazem os pedidos poderiam ser mais simpáticas, gosto do facto de uma das donas deste restaurante ser natural de Aljezur. Ou seja, a batata doce é recorrente menu, nas suas mil e uma versões camaleónicas, assim como a tiborna. Já alguma vez provaram esta maravilha? Originalmente, é pão acabado de sair do forno, misturado em muito alho e azeite. Ali o pão não é acabado de fazer mas com alho e azeite cai sempre bem.
De todos os pratos e petiscos que provei, destaco os charutos de morcela e o arroz de choco, fizeram-​me lembrar os cozinhados das mulheres da minha família (todas algarvias) o que é, acreditem, é muito bom sinal. Também fiquei de olho na massada de peixe. Fica para uma próxima, muito breve…

Tem uma das vistas mais surpreendentes — das minhas preferidas. E é perfeito para uma tarde de verão ao ar livre. Alojado no Museu Nacional da Farmácia, o restaurante tem uma decoração ímpar, com recurso a material farmacêutico disponibilizado pela respetiva instituição que o recebe. Todos os pormenores contam e surpreendem, desde o sugestivo papel de parede aos utensílios médicos que agora têm outros fins. A esplanada é simpática e precedida por um longo jardim que parece terminar em cima do miradouro do Adamastor. Aqui, a cozinha é tradicionalmente portuguesa e, apesar das doses curtas, fiquei bastante satisfeita. Gostei do facto de ser tudo exclusivamente nacional, à exceção da Coca Cola que ninguém parece dispensar. Já tive a oportunidade de deslocar-​me repetidamente a este espaço e, de todas as vezes, reparo em detalhes extra. Um restaurante bem conseguido, resultado da parceria já responsável pela Petiscaria e Taberna Ideais.

Restaurant in the pharmacy museum, overlooking the Teijo River everything is designed to a look and feel of a pharmacy. Very nice waiters and a good surprise menu. Not haute cuisine and not cheap but worth every Euro !! One of the nicest places I have seen in Lisbon. During the day you can sit in the garden and look across the river and the bridge.
A great place !!!
