Welcome!

A truly unique Japanese dining experience in Lisbon. Unlike a typical sushi bar or ramen shop, Saikai captures the authentic spirit of Tokyo’s izakayas – lively, welcoming spaces where food, drinks, and conversation flow naturally.

Our menu blends Japanese tradition with creative touches flavorful small plates perfect for sharing. Guests also enjoy our carefully selected sake and signature cocktails, designed to complement every dish. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal with friends, a fun night out, or an introduction to authentic Japanese flavors, Saikai Izakaya Lisbon delivers the perfect balance of atmosphere, taste, and hospitality.

The Spirit of Izakaya in Lisbon

at Saikai Izakaya Lisbon is designed to capture the essence of Japanese izakaya culture – variety, sharing, and discovery. Each creation reflects our ambition to combine authenticity with creativity, offering a dining experience that is lively, social, and memorable. Instead of focusing only on individual dishes, our menu is built around moments: the excitement of trying something new, the joy of sharing with friends, and the warmth of coming together at the table. More than food, it is an invitation to experience the energy and spirit of Japan in the heart of Lisbon.

From the moment you walk through the door, the decor is absolutely magnificent: a Zen atmosphere, subdued lighting, and natural wood 🇯🇵

The food is simply delicious—refined, fresh, and flavorful dishes.

The service is impeccable, discreet, and attentive.

A place as beautiful as it is delicious, a must-see if you're in Lisbon 🇵🇹
