The story

Zunzum Gastrobar, Lisbon – Chef Marlene Vieira's Bib Gourmand Contemporary Dining

A Waterfront Gastrobar in Lisbon

Zunzum Gastrobar sits on the Doca do Jardim do Tabaco, part of the Cruise Terminal of Lisbon, with views over the Tagus River. The space is run by Chef Marlene Vieira, whose name is synonymous with the restaurant’s identity. The concept is a gastrobar: a relaxed yet polished setting where contemporary Portuguese cooking takes centre stage.

The kitchen works with seasonal produce, turning out plates that balance tradition with modern technique. The menu changes regularly, but the approach stays consistent – clear flavours, careful execution, and a sense of place. The wine list is curated to match, and the cocktail programme adds a lively edge.

Michelin Bib Gourmand Recognition

In 2026, Zunzum received a Michelin Bib Gourmand, an award given for good quality, good value cooking. It’s a fitting nod to a restaurant that delivers a refined experience without pretension. The outdoor seating is particularly popular in warmer months, making the most of the riverfront location.

Zunzum is open for lunch and dinner, with a slightly earlier close on Sundays. The kitchen closes one hour before the restaurant. Reservations are recommended – the space is well-liked by locals and visitors alike.
