A mouthful of Summer at Bistro
The long summer days bring with them news to the 100 Maneiras restaurants. At Bistro, this historical space in Largo da Trindade, which was once Tavares Pobre and Bachus old-time Lisbon restaurants (and in 2010 became Bistro 100 Maneiras), we travel back to the future.
We’re paying homage to the classics, to the ABCs of Bistro, to the product, to the essence, to pure, hard flavor, with a new cocktail list, new lunch menus and new dishes on the set menu.
At the Bar, led by Jorge Camilo, this year’s big comeback, there’s the debut of a cocktail menu that praises the product. With names such as Fig, Watermelon, Banana, Peach or Rhubarb, there are nine new creations (three of them non-alcoholic) that emphasize natural ingredients, from the kitchen to the bar, following what has been the main line of mixology at this house since 2010, built with Camilo at the helm.
What’s also new is the possibility of, soon, getting to know these cocktails in “half-dose” format, leaving room to explore more options on the menu, to try more than one cocktail in a single visit (or to drink in more moderate doses). This also means a return to Portuguese roots and to the nostalgic “glass of three” that used to be served in taverns, usually in between meals, without accompaniment, or with some snacks.
In the kitchen, guided by head chef Eugeniu Musteata, the big news is the weekend lunch menus (49€ for 2), in a return to the future that is divided between the roots of Portuguese cuisine on Saturdays and the Bosnian table on Sundays.
Portuguese fried green beans, codfish fritters, chicken gizzards and sericaia pudding with plums are some of the main dishes on Saturday; while burek, sarma and tufahija, among others, are served on Sunday. Dishes that promise to change frequently, while maintaining the traditional roots of these special lunch menus – with the right twist à la Bistro, of course.
