Bela Lisboa Restaurant

The atmosphere in this restaurant is just perfect for a romantic date night. I try something new every time that I go and am never disappointed. The service is also excellent. I went with my boyfriend last night and we were taken care of by Zander, who did a marvelous job explaining the menu and making sure we had everything we needed and more. The experience is above and beyond expectations, without being too expensive. In my opinion, Bela Lisboa is by far the best restaurant in the Chattanooga area!

We are here last night and had the most wonderful experience. The very friendly and knowledgeable sommelier spent a lot of time chatting with us about wines and helped us to choose wonderful pairings for each course. Our group tried a lot of dishes, and they were all fantastic! Particular standouts were the prawns piripiri, the flambéed chorizo, the scallops and filet on a hot sone (na pedra), the snapper and clams, and the lobster truffle pasta. For desert, the chocolate mousse and the tiny tarts were outstanding! Each couple went home with a bottle of their delicious house made cherry liquor, and the old fashioneds and manhattans that they make with these liquors are beautifully crafted cocktails. This restaurant is a fantastic find and we will be coming back!

Absolutely delicious ! (seafood risotto & i can’t remember the name of my partner’s dish;) The seafood was cooked & seasoned just perfectly . The live music was a great accompaniment to our food; our server Reagan, was knowledgeable & attentive and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and warm. The owner(s)have a great place and are so nice. We look forward to our next visit!

This is a truly unique Chattanooga dining experience. We were celebrating with a party of 10, holiday season, and they graciously accepted our reservation and received us with open arms. The service was fantastic with fast apps and Zander, our sommelier (1 of four in Chattanooga), immediately connected us with the perfect wine for the occasion. Wonderful and diverse food, live classical guitar, new flavors, fresh food, fun presentation and preparation. We will be back!

Elegant food and gorgeous wine, perfectly paired by their in-house sommelier. Try the Port Fashioned, crafted with house made cherry liqueur, and the Mar e Terra Na Pedra (surf and turf cooked in front of you on a sizzling hot stone). Delish!

We absolutely love this restaurant! Zander the sommelier was absolutely fantastic and created the most wonderful meal and wine experience. Let them guide you, but honestly everything on the menu is phenomenal. Personally we loved the goat cheese and fig, the lobster truffle pasta, the filet and the chocolate cake. Do not miss this place! They also do wine tastings and wine dinners- if you can grab a ticket, you should!

Incredible service. Delicious food. Terrific wine and cocktails. One of the best dining experiences in Chattanooga. Shoutouts to Picanha steak skewer and filet-lobster toast!

Exceptional Dining Experience! Never had anything like it—truly memorable! I’ve been twice and ordered the same surf and turf, exquisitely cooked on a hot stone. It’s such a fun experience, but most importantly, the food melts in your mouth. The port wines infused with fruit are something special. The atmosphere is romantic yet still welcoming for families. We had a sweet family with two little boys beside us who enjoyed the “grown-up” food with great enthusiasm, to everyone’s delight. Our meal was worth every dime. Highly recommend!
