Restaurants cuisine du monde Lisbon Area

Located in the north of the city, established in an old grocery store, this tasquinha serves not only excellent petiscos (chouriço, fifth, ovas de, polvo de…) but prepares good joyous, ravigotante and prétention cuisine (orange duck, feijoada to brasileira, choquinhos fritos).

An institution opened in 1936, it can be eaten at any time of the day or night. In this large refectory with arcades and tables, benches and wooden stools, there are couples of retired people, tourists or partygoers attracted by the smell of chorizo bread coming out of the oven. All the best values to recover your strength or to waterproof: caldo verde (green cabbage soup), pão com chouriço (chorizo bread), pastéis de bacalhau (cod fritters) and arroz doce (rice pudding)... As often happiness can be summed up in simple things!

A Russian restaurant in Portugal, why not? An alternative to Portuguese cuisine. A very different restaurant, with red and black colours that reminds us of the origin of the bosses! An avant-garde decoration, forbidden at the time by Stalin, lights and candles to accompany your culinary journey. A discovery of dishes from the former Eastern bloc countries, elaborate and popular, such as koteliete (beef and pork cut into pieces, with onions, bread and milk). Without forgetting a vodka to digest well! To be tested with delight.

Close to the Oceanarium, in an area of Lisbon not necessarily known for its high gastronomy, it is a specialist in seafood and fresh grilled fish. You will find a decoration in reference to the sea and a beautiful terrace with a view of the Tagus, for a lunch in the open air. Among the sure values, let yourself be tempted by fried cuttlefish, rice with lobster or white grouper and clams. Expect rather high prices.

Named after a tea prized by the gauchos of Rio Grande do Sul (Southern Brazil), this chain has several branches in Lisbon. The colourful and friendly area is ideal for a traditional Brazilian churrasco made up of good grilled meat (including picanha, filet mignon and many other equally prized pieces, sometimes on skewers), not to mention a feijoada (a kind of Brazilian cassoulet) and a magnificent sideboard, which you will have the honour of attacking at a fixed price until you are satisfied.

Ideally located with its small terrace overlooking one of the main streets of Graça, this restaurant offers some tapas and a nice selection of wines to accompany them. There are also individual dishes with the classic burgers (also available in vegetarian version). You might want to stop in for a cheese and cold cuts board with a glass of sangria (which is very good by the way). The establishment also has some tables inside in case of bad weather. The staff is very friendly.

One of the last great pastries, decorated in the 19th century, where some intellectuals nostalgic for the 1950s and 1960s are sitting in the late afternoon. It's the great Baroque temple of greed! High room covered with mirrors, stucco ceilings decorated with chandeliers, gilding and scrolls. The small welcoming tables are inaccessible to quick drinks at mealtime, since it is also a restaurant. The house's pastry specialities will delight you as much as the incredibly retro atmosphere!

Between the National Museum of Ancient Art and the shores of Alcantara, this good address has already proven its worth for more than ten years. The restaurant boasts of being one of the best Italians in Lisbon and he is certainly right. This beautiful discovery, a little romantic, enchants us with its extremely thin pizzas, creamy risottos, and fresh pastas (lasagna, ravioli, rigatoni, tagliatelle, tortellini...). In a pretty amber-yellow residence decorated with a bougainvillea tree, the pizzaiolo is busy at first sight in front of his oven with a wood fire.

Housed in the superb Palacio de Alverca, believed to date from the late ^17th century, the Alentejo Regional House is an incredible blend of different styles. Upstairs, you'll find huge rooms, a former smoking room, small salons and even a former ballroom with a décor straight out of the film Sissi Empress. The cuisine is rustic and not very elaborate or unforgettable. If you manage to find a seat on one of these vast tables of guests, don't hesitate to opt for the bacalhau, the porco a alentejana and, last but not least, the flan cake.

A dinner, and especially a lunch in Atira te Ao Rio (literally: "throw yourself into the river") is one of Lisbon's most memorable experiences. Located on the other side of the river, it offers you a beautiful view of the city. Romanticism guaranteed at the end of the day for sunset. Once on site at the end of the quay (on the terrace, almost with your feet in the water, or in the dining room), enjoy traditional Portuguese cuisine with a touch of auteur while enjoying one of the most beautiful views of Lisbon. Reservation recommended, the place being run in summer.

This neon lettered place is worth a visit, if only for its incredible sixties decoration: large carved wooden panels, series of slates on the ceiling and a string of high revolving stools with files placed in front of long varnished wooden counters. Galeto serves without interruption until late. A battalion of waiters and cooks, headed by a high-ranking chef who teaches lessons, are working hard to produce a wide range of snacks or more consistent dishes: hamburgers, various salads, bifes to accompany sauces, pastries...

In an atmosphere and atmosphere inspired by an old pharmacy, this restaurant with its large esplanade and view of the Tagus offers a correct variety of petiscos (Portuguese tapas). You can go there all day long to taste them. All the small details and utensils refer to the world of pharmacy, even the name of the cocktails... We would like to go there at the end of the day to enjoy the sunset and see all the young Lisbotians gather at the Santa Catarina miradouro just opposite.

In Chiado, next to the São Carlos theater, a beautiful Austrian-inspired café. The menu features typical Austrian specialties. We liked the breaded mushrooms with tartar sauce and mixed salad. The apfelstrudel is not bad either, as are the traditional grilled sausages with Emmental cheese and a draught beer from the selection: Kozel, Paulaner or others. On weekends, you can enjoy a hearty brunch or sip a lemonade, without missing out on the excellent hot chocolate or Viennese coffee. Pleasantly relaxed service.

This establishment is famous for its prego no pão (the famous beef sandwich), carnivorous friends you are warned! This is an ideal place to eat locally and cheaply, which is becoming increasingly rare in the small village of Ericeira. This restaurant even has its own coat of arms, like a historic house. Here you will find mainly burgers and other meat-based sandwiches but also soup as a starter, all served with homemade beer. There are a few tables on the street to enjoy the sunny weather.

Located next to the marina of the Parque das Nações, this restaurant has created a concept that is unique: to plunge us into the atmosphere of the drug cartels, except that here, all that is done is "food trafficking" and smuggling takes place only to obtain good products. His adage: mi casa es su casa. On the menu, a multitude of traditional dishes and it's good! As for the atmosphere of the cartels, it is not necessarily very accomplished but the place is friendly and one will have pleasure to take his lunch or his dinner there.

"If on the one hand there is strength in unity, at Tapisco it is sharing that makes the table", as they announce on their website. Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa, who has worked in Michelin-starred restaurants, invites you to discover his concept of tapas from both sides of the border of the Iberian Peninsula. In a luxury bistro atmosphere, you will eat Spanish tapas, Portuguese dishes and sip traditional vermouth. Since its opening, this restaurant has been full, a sign of its quality.

A house of petiscos, a decoration made with taste, a wide choice of Portuguese style tapas with original accompaniments. The one that seduced us the most: the caramelized cod, with its sweet potatoes. It's up to you to choose your preference. For those eager for meat, chef Filomeno Nogueira will offer you the "prego", a sandwich whose meat has been carefully selected and perfectly seasoned. In this establishment, the decoration is full of colours. A different house that is really worth the detour!

It is said to be a meeting place for artists and journalists, but also for many people from the neighbourhood. Founded in 1899, here is one that has not succumbed to the fever of modernity of the district, keeping a traditional atmosphere in a classic room with white walls and high baseboards of azulejos. A menu that includes all the typical fish or meat dishes such as grilled sea bream, tuna steak or pork secrets. The portions are generous, so there is not always enough room to taste the excellent desserts.

Located along the ocean, near rua das Furnas, towards the yacht club not far from Santa Maria Park, this is a superb restaurant (with a neighboring marisqueira for seafood) with a seafront terrace. A warm welcome awaits you as you choose your fish of the day, which will be grilled on a barbecue by the grilled fish chef and his acolytes. In an irresistible kitsch marine setting (ropes, knick-knacks, colored porcelain...), the ocean invites itself to your table.

Close to the Eduardo VII park, this restaurant offers a certified Thai cuisine of quality and faithful to its origins. The cook, a Thai, ensures the uniqueness of this Asian cuisine and offers a journey through the different regions of Thailand. She prepares the dishes with fresh products that contribute to enhance the aromatic particularity of this cuisine. The menu presents a wide variety of dishes where vegetarians will find their account. On the second floor of a building, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing.

In the magnificent setting of the ^17th-century Convent das Bernadas (also home to the Puppet Museum), this restaurant replaces La Travessa and offers a cuisine combining ingredients from Portuguese terroirs with French cooking techniques. At the helm of this fine establishment: chef Pedro Henrique Lima and chef João de Oliveira, with the support of French chefs Alexis Gielbaum and Maxime Kien. Result: roast lamb fillet with eggplant and date chutney, duck confit with smoked carrot cream, chocolate mousse or crème brûlée.

A beautiful space at the corner of Terreiro do Paço, which is a restaurant, brasserie and museum. The museum presents the history of beer in Portugal, with the reconstruction of a former monastic beer factory. We discover how the monks made this drink, the ingredients, the secrets and as a bonus we taste a beer created specifically for the museum. Don't leave without tasting the classic "Bohémia" beer or the Portuguese-speaking specialities, or the bacalhau pasteis made from cod and processed cheese.

A very good address to recommend on Setúbal! In this welcoming place with its modern and trendy decoration, you can enjoy very well prepared and tasty dishes. The restaurant is located in a small street in the city centre and also has a terrace. Inside, you will have seen the open kitchen to see the cooks in action! As its name suggests, the place will delight lovers of good steaks but it will not leave behind those who prefer fish or vegetarian dishes. There is something for everyone!

Wood, marble, copper counters in this institution opened since 1782. Many personalities have passed through this brewery, including Fernando Pessoa. Today, some tertúlias (convivial intellectual meetings) are still held in its historic interior room. The prices displayed seem to take advantage of the reputation of the place, which has become a tourist attraction. The cuisine (a lot of fish: cataplana de peixes mistos, red mullet, sea bass...) is correct but not much more, even if sometimes the dish of the day is economical.

Attended by a rather well-to-do clientele, acquired during its more than 70 years of existence, Gambrinus is considered to be one of the best traditional addresses in the city, located in a street well endowed with addresses to choose from. Fish, seafood, an excellent wine list, and therefore a (somewhat disputed!) reputation. Empadão de perdrix (Monday), fish soup rica (Wednesday), grilled cherry with gribiche sauce, Rothschild soufflé. Overrated house and really too salty note!

Beneath the arches and vaults of the former stables of the palace of the Counts of Valadares, here's a beautiful space that's both a delicatessen and a wine cellar, as well as a restaurant with several lounges. It's full of charm, offering a wide choice of meats (bifes...), fish (tuna...) and seafood (octopus...). There's also a petiscos (Portuguese tapas) bar and a café-patisserie. The management has had the bright idea of programming a few photo exhibitions and occasional well-attended concerts, notably in the form of jazz concert cycles.

This antiga casa de pasto, a tavern dating back to 1814, is known for its pretty wooden interior divisions, which, according to legend, were used to hatch dark conspiracies or to count flirtations in all discretion. Today, the small dining rooms are still there... The proposed cuisine is honest, unpretentious but tasty: fried prawns, grilled chouriço, cod in Brás... The desserts are excellent (inevitable pudim flan and toucinho do céu), but you can also stop for a simple sande (sandwich).

Close to the tourist office, with a view of the large park stretching from the beach of Tamariz to the casino, this is one of the too few restaurants in the area that offers reasonable prices for popular cuisine. The shade of its terrace at lunchtime or the spectacle of its good-natured entertainment (on Friday and Saturday evenings in summer) make us appreciate the menu of Senhor Victor. There is no lack of beautiful fish dishes, grilled meats and roasted chickens. The service is always alert for this meeting point, for all generations, since 1956.

In an English-style "bellissima" house with a view of the sea, once held in the 1940s by a Scottish spy, in a hunting lodge setting, the typical menu can be composed as follows: gratinated prawns with spinach, monkfish in the oven before the passage of the homemade dessert cart, coffee. Seafood and game (in season) are truly excellent, but unfortunately excessively expensive! Perhaps this is the price of the glory of the house of Sarah Sobral, the former owner's granddaughter.

Here's an improbably tiny family restaurant! Beware: CURIOSITY! For more than 40 years, north of Cascais, it has resembled an Ali Baba's cave, its walls and ceilings covered with an incredible bric-a-brac: clocks, cauldrons, copperware, knick-knacks, antiques and brocante. The cuisine is grandmotherly, and the grilled meats are truly excellent. One of the house specialties: wild boar(javali) with gambas in a garlic tomato sauce, served on a heated tile. A little wonder in the middle of nowhere!

This house is part of the family history! At lunchtime and on weekends, it's always busy until closing time! Near the fishing port, "le loup de mer" offers the chance to choose your own fresh fish of the day before it is grilled no carvão (over charcoal). Caldeirada, clams and the inevitable sardines are the stars, accompanied by a bell pepper salad and a jar of white sangria. This address, with its simple terrace, is dedicated exclusively to seafood products, and so much the better, because that's what we came for!

Facing the sea front, this restaurant, besides serving fresh fresh fish and seafood, offers an alternative with its Burgundian fondue (you have read well!). Even more surprising for the locality, a sushi and sashimis selection served on Sunday. To accompany the desserts, you can seek advice from Madeira's muscatel, ports and wines. At the right price, given the quality!

Slightly hidden away near the elevador da Bica and the Santa Catarina viewpoint, a simple tavern serving good Portuguese cuisine. Very informal and rather relaxed, with its kitchen on view, it offers grilled meats and fish, well cooked and seasoned just right, as well as a few more or less elaborate homemade preparations. The menu is small in size, but big in terms of quality and meets the highest standards! It's best to arrive early to find a seat, as the place is a big hit with the locals...

This small typical restaurant with a welcoming and intimate atmosphere is located in the heart of the Alfama district at the top of the dos Remedios street, which goes up to the right of the square, in front of the Fado museum. The speciality of the house is the charcoal grilled meat and fresh fish, made right in front of your eyes, on the right side of the entrance. The service is attentive and is served even late in the evening, until 2am. An address that is sure to please all groups, friends or family looking for conviviality.

In a small travessa, not far from the Museum of Fine Arts, at the top of a building, a small canteen with a breathtaking terrace overlooking the Tagus. Between noon and midday, local employees come to eat a dish of the day and enjoy one of the best views in the area. Simple, unpretentious dishes of the day. This is undoubtedly one of our favorite places to eat at this price, with this view, right in the center of Lisbon. Why not spend the afternoon sipping a drink while reading the Petit Futé Lisbon...?

Here is the first Lebanese restaurant that opened its doors in Lisbon! It is run by the El Dib family, who settled in the capital more than 20 years ago. So of course, you will not be surprised to taste typical dishes, like the "kebbé maklieh", speciality of cow meat with ground corn and its small onions, but also tabbouleh or falafels. A good address to dive into the bewitching flavors of the East. And let's not forget to underline the presentation and the quality service.

A small tasca that does not look like much, popular and multicultural, you will discover a patchwork of the cuisine of the former Portuguese colonies. This canteen offers you dishes from Mozambique, Angola and Goa. Good meat dishes, "cabrito with curry or coconut" (cabri), "gambas with curry"... The mango juice is extra and fresh, some vegetarian dishes, and good homemade desserts (the "maracuja" mousse, passion fruit, is excellent). The welcome is always friendly, and the atmosphere very friendly on its small terrace.

A tasca, typical and popular in Graça, with a very good reputation. Classics of Portuguese cuisine, Bacalhau a braz, and meat dishes. We eat a simple cuisine with gargantuan parts. A slightly old-fashioned atmosphere that has lived, but that's what makes it so charming. A warm welcome, to sum up in two words: "bon vivant". Plan time because, as a victim of its success, the restaurant is full for lunch. However, the service is generally quite fast once installed at the table.

A traditional "tasquinha" as we like them, only a few tables to taste a simple and excellent cuisine. A typical decoration with some ceramic dishes on the walls where you can read some sayings. To tell you the atmosphere of the house, one of them says "here the customer is the most important of the house"! We totally agree! A very good address to eat a grilled fish, cod or a dish of the day. Although located in a smart district, it keeps a good quality-price ratio and thus remains a sure value.

In April 2016, a new space with a diversified offer was opened in the heart of the Chiado district. It's a unique concept developed by three partners who have given new life to an old palace dating back to 1781. The palace is distinguished by its architecture - the imposing interior staircase is a sight to behold. Faithfully restored to its origins, with magnificent murals and stained glass windows, the place harmoniously combines the ancient and the modern. Quality dishes are served in this warm setting.

If you're in the mood for pesticos (Portuguese-style tapas), this address is open non-stop all day long! You'll find cheese and charcuterie platters, typical salads with cod and chickpeas, choriço assado, morcela... The space is divided into several small rooms and has a pretty vintage decor. A warm welcome awaits you, and you can also sit out on the terrace in fine weather. This address has become very popular, but reservations are essential.

What could be better, after a day on the beach, than to enjoy a little more while watching the sunset on the terrace with a good cold beer and a pizza? this is what awaits you if you go to the Capricciosa pizzeria. With a modern and refined decoration, its large bay window overlooking the ocean, this establishment has many tables and that's good because many people go there every evening. The pizzas are traditional and of high quality. Many choices with vegetarian options, as well as pasta dishes.

Both a gourmet shop and a small canteen, it is a very pleasant place to stop for lunch. If you are lucky, you will find room on the terrace (seats are expensive). Otherwise there are a few tables inside to taste dishes of local delicatessen and cheese. If you prefer something lighter, you also have some very good salads, all homemade. To accompany all this, you will have a drinks list with a selection of homemade beers and wines.

Its name refers to the pizza dough, made here from flour 00. From the wine bar with a menu of more than 80 Italian nectars to the proseccos, as well as the delicatessen and cheese stalls that can be tasted on site or taken away... the products, all certified, come from the boot, and more particularly from Veneto. A la carte: salads, pasta and pizzas. Pizzas made of thin, crunchy and flavoured dough, they are the success of the house. In good weather, you can enjoy the superb terrace overlooking the botanical garden.
