The Ice Bar was freezing, they give you big coats to wear with hoods and boy do you need them. You go through to a smallish room entirely made out of ice including the bar, walls, seats and tables. Its all pretty cool and a complete novelty! You are handed an ice cube glasses and you can have any drink on the absolute vodka menu. They are a bit sickly but good if you are getting drunk. You only have 30 mins in the place but you don't want any longer as it gets very cold. All in all an interesting experience for a special occasion.

This is a gorgeously rich restaurant. We were treated like kings here, had a lovely seat next to the window. The waiters were quite and helpful. The menu was interesing and inventive and the atmosphere was understated. The food was amazing, extremely rich and fascinating mixtures, very modern european. My parents are chefs and even they did not know how some of the sauces were made to taste so intense. Try it out if you are going for a grown up meal

Le Caprice is the sister restaurant to The Ivy and has a similar menu if not the same. My food was very memoriable......a fresh questy squid salad, really good and i am not easliy impressed! The main course was salmon fishcake with spinach & sorel sauce, this was rich, creamy and was mostly salmon. I was very satisified by it! The wine was nice too. The service was quick, not fussy and despite other people complaining that they felt rushed, I didn't feel this at all. The restaurant itself is relaxed, with a piano player and a jazzy kind of feel. I would recommend this place for a birthday or a special occasion with friends. Also lots of celebs go here so people do tend to look around a bit trying to spot someone famous but that all adds to the fun!

They have fantastic offers on trip advisor for this hotel and it is great choice if you are trying to find somewhere reasonable to stay in Lisbon.

Nice modern clean bathroom and spacious nice bedroom, although a bit characterless.

Good transport links to everywhere, the metro is an experience and very useful and the stop is right next to the hotel.

The hotel has its own jacquizi and sauna which was nice to relax in!

Very good breakfast, great variety of cooked things, loads of options for vegetarian, fruits, hams, cerals, breads, cheeses.

Didn't try out the food though because we wanted to go out in the evenings.

You get more than what you pay for if you stay here, if you are after glitz and glamour don't come here but for a nice clean modern place to stay I would recommend!

Benihana,

The highlight of this restaurant is that the chefs cook the food at the table on a large hot plate that every one sits around. Some chefs do amazing tricks, flinging bowls at people, flames the lot. This is obviously enjoyable to watch, but makes the seating a little awkward and we had a big party so we felt a bit spread out.

You have set menus and you can choose two of the following... prawns, chicken, lobster, salmon.

You are then presented with a miso soup, then four bits of sushi, the chef then cooks up onions, asparagus etc and your first choice, so lobster for me, which was very nice.

Then he fries the egg fried rice in front of you and you start to munch on that with a side salad, you then get your second option, salmon for me was good, huge portion!

The food was pleasant but the sushi wasn't my cup of tea, but because I eat it a lot I am picky and the mayonaise crab & cucumber rolls weren't anything special. It was however an interesting experience and you get stuffed up by the end of the meal!

Set meal is under £20 but the drinks are over priced but thats Soho for you. Try out for a casual night with friends!
