WELCOME
THE STRANGEST MOST EXCLUSIVE DINNER SHOW IN LISBON
A Michelin-starred chef. A performance inspired by Fernando Pessoa. Only 28 seats. This is for the curious, for the brave and those who expect more than fine dining. This is Bicaense – where dinner is the stage.
A strange
night out
Discover the experience
Step into the unknown. A place where the night begins at the bar and slowly reveals itself – time slows, conversations unfold, and the first tastes set the tone. This is not your typical night out. It’s a place shaped by curiosity, where a creative chef presents a menu created exclusively, and a play takes centre stage.
As the night progresses, you taste, you listen, you wonder and, somewhere along the way you realise you are part of the story and of this unique experience, right in the heart of Bica.
This is not just fine dining in Lisbon. It is an invitation to step into the unknown. It’s a Strange Night Out.

Our Bar
BAR OF CURIOSITY
There is a moment when the night slips away from the expected. It happens at the bar.Glasses rest slowly, stories begin without knowing how they will end, and curiosity sets the pace. A question lingers: are you thirsty for more?
Here, the alchemy of our signature cocktails is not only tasted – it provokes, awakens, and opens possibilities. Time softens, attention sharpens, and the sense that anything might happen settles in.
This is not just a bar. It is the first sign that the night will be different.
The HISTORIC BICA(ENSE)

Now, under the visionary direction of TenClub Amsterdam, it transforms into a living stage, blending its heritage with an evolving dialogue between food, theatre, and immersive experience. Here, past and future meet, and every visit becomes part of the story still being written.
