O Insólito é verdadeiramente...insólito talvez pela sua decoração de uma estranha maneira consegue uma excelente combinação de cores, de azulejos e até de texturas. Localizado no último andar de um edificio paredes meias com o The Independente e pertence tudo ao mesmo, dizem que o seu ponto forte é a esplanada mas como fui para um jantar com a empresa estava fechada porque fomos ainda no Inverno. Foi uma pena porque deu para perceber que tem uma das melhores vistas sobre a cidade a mesma do Miradouro de S. Pedro de Alcântara mas com uma vantagem na altura.
The Insólito (Unusual) is truly unusual ... maybe because it is decorated in a weird way achieving a great combination of colors, tiles and even textures. Located on the top floor of a building next door to the The Independent and belongs to it, some say its strong point is the terrace but as I went to dinner with the company it was closed because we were still in winter. It was a shame because I could see that it has one of the best views of the city the same as the S. Pedro de Alcantara belvedere but with a height advantage.
O seu ambiente descontraído e até irreverente é convidativo, ficámos numa grande mesa comum na parte de dentro e o resto do grupo ficou fora no terraço (queixaram-se um pouco do frio), além disso podíamos ver o chef Nuno Bandeira de Lima que algumas vezes passava pelo bar. Quanto á comida estava óptima e em grande quantidade, primeiro veio uma excelente salada estilo coleslaw com amêndoas tostadas que servia para equilibrar os mini hamburguers e os wraps que trouxeram. Vieram depois as ostras que muitos optaram por não comer por más experiências no passado, não sendo a maior fã acabei por comer umas cinco. Veio depois o prato principal de porco com migas, por esta altura já estavamos todos a pensar na sobremesa mas fizemos um esforço para terminá-lo porque o merecia. Foi ao chegar a sobremesa que encontrámos a nossa desilusão, era um prato de fruta básicamente com uma colher de requeijão e eu sei que é nas coisas simples da vida que podemos encontrar o melhor do mundo mas depois de uma elaborada descrição na ementa afinal vieram quatro frutas diferentes...apenas. Ficámos depois a tomar um copo e não saberia dizer o preço médio porque foi um evento da empresa, para mim é uma experiencia a repetir principalmente para estar na esplanada com vista para Lisboa.
The relaxed and even irreverent atmosphere is inviting, we were in a large communal table on the inside and the rest of the group stayed out on the terrace (they complained it was a bit cold), also we could see the chef Nuno Bandeira de Lima that some times passed by the bar. As for the food it was great and in great quantity, first came an excellent salad coleslaw style with toasted almonds that was served to balance the mini burgers and wraps that they had brought. Then came the oysters that many chose not to eat for bad experiences in the past, not being the biggest fan I ended up eating about five. Then came the main course pork with migas (bread crumbs cooked with garlic), by now we were all thinking about dessert but made an effort to finish it because the dish deserved it. When the dessert arrived we had a bit of a disappointment, it was a fruit dish basically with a scoop of cottage cheese and I know it's the simple things in life where we can find the best in the world but after an elaborate description on the menu they brought four different fruits ... just that. We stayed for a drink and I could not tell the average price because it was a company event, for me is an experience to repeat mainly to be on the terrace overlooking Lisbon.
