Hummusbar

Where hummus is the star

Hummusbar, located in the Campo de Ourique market, is a debut in Portugal: around here, hummus plays a prominent role and is present in almost every dish on the menu.

This place is part of an international restaurant chain and the kitchen concept is top notch: simple, fresh and healthy food. Food preparation is done on the counter, right in front of the customer, and some of the ingredients are purchased at the market itself, which allows them to stock up on fresh food on a daily basis.

Get ready to taste authentic and delicious hummus, namely because the chickpeas (the main ingredient of this wonderful dip) come from Egypt. We loved and recommend the hummus and the artisanal pita bread that came with it, but we also have to highlight the other dishes we tasted, especially the fried cauliflower with thina (which takes this vegetable to a whole other level!) and the shakshuka with feta cheese.

Bence Csokay, the founder of this space in Portugal, sat down with us at the table and told us all about the traditions linked to this dish: it’s perfect for sharing with friends and family and, whenever possible, eaten with your hands.

Cool Tip: We recommend the Hummusbar lemonade – it's refreshing, it complements the food perfectly and... it's on the house!
