Restaurants cuisine du monde Lisbon Area

Located at the end of the small square, on the side of the Rossio station, this very central restaurant is part of the walls of the railway station. It looks like a brewery and is a bright and friendly place where one is surprised by the decoration based on ancient objects around the railways, coming straight from the railway museum of Entroncamento. Here you can enjoy Portuguese gastronomy dishes made from quality products: fish brochettes, octopus and cod in the oven or cod salads . Very nice terrace in fine weather.

The name of this pizzeria comes from its oven covered with a thin layer of gold, installed in a corner of the room. It's an opportunity to taste the real Neapolitan pizza, "the Michelin star of pizzas"! Its dough is unique, made from organic and natural yeast, which Tanka, the owner, brought from Italy. Other dishes, specialties of the house, are proposed as beef cooked at low temperature. For the amateurs, a choice of more than 35 craft beers from different countries is also proposed. To finish, we can't resist the homemade tiramisu.

Between the seafront and the town hall of Sesimbra, everyone knows this little family business! This paradise of fresh seafood, shellfish and crustaceans pleases us for its friendly welcome and its typical atmosphere, sprinkled with white sangria. Clams, knives, crabs move the crowds... In season, we often have to wait in line to enjoy snails or small fried cuttlefish(chocos)... Take away sale of petiscos possible, reasonable prices if you know how to stay wise. Smiling and authentic service.

Open only in the beautiful days, under trees and parasols, for those who missed on June 13 th (the Saint-Antoine!), one of the nice places to graze on sardines (during the season of the small fish mascot of the capital: June to July) or other fish of the day or cuttlefish (venom), the rest of the time. Despite a inconsistent service, the atmosphere is very typical with the tables timed on a level of the calçadinha and the grill before you… Hence the interest of going to be outside the summer (history of writing even if there are few other possibilities given the calendar and space of this restaurant!) with less risk than your clothes you talk about tides for a week. In addition, we love roasted peppers, fried with olive oil and with onions and then the sangria in good agreement!

In a rustic room, everyone is placed side by side according to their order of arrival, regardless of because everyone here is friends, or in any case treated as such. Petiscos and rich food dishes from the Minho region: fried rabbit, grilled cabri, fish (sável/shad). Depending on the age and season it is possible, here, to the north of Lisbon to enjoy game and fish caught in fresh water…

This small restaurant with its welcoming and warm decoration is located in São Pedro de Sintra in the main street that joins the historical centre (in the descent 20 m after the traffic light). We come here for a small meal on the go, to taste it, or more simply toast with friends. At all times, it offers a cuisine based on "tapas" (petiscos). Especially since the products are very fresh and some of them are of organic origin. For the wines a small but rigorous selection. The owners also speak French.

Inside an old printing house, sharing the same roof as the very popular Ler Devagar bookstore, you will be able to taste some dishes inspired by Asian cuisine. For example, an excellent duck in soy sauce, a tender crab and its curries. A fusion cuisine, with a choice of à la carte dishes from Malaysia, Thailand and China. All the guests are sure to find the dish that will delight their taste buds as the proposals are so varied. Good welcome and service.

A small restaurant just below the Assembly of the Republic. It's not very conspicuous from the street, so keep your eyes peeled as you stroll along. It's when you look down that you notice it, with its often-filled tables. Inside, you'll find wooden tables, a mix of antique furniture and contemporary decor, and on sunny days, a small sunny terrace. It's run by an Italian couple who don't offer pizzas, but dishes straight from the boot, which you can accompany with a good wine.

Located in the d'Alcântara district, this restaurant will surprise you with its simple but refined cuisine. The decoration of the two rooms with Art Deco trends has been thought through in detail by the owner. The latter offers contemporary Portuguese cuisine made with fresh and high-quality products: mature veal, cod, octopus or sea bream with almonds, accompanied by a good selection of wines. The terrace covered by a superb bougainvillea has a unique charm and, in the evening, the lights make this place magical.

In a small street perpendicular to the ocean, a different and trendy offer in the pleasant setting of an old bakery (hence the name!): bricks, tiles, parquet, art paintings, large dishes, mystical background music. La Padaria regularly wins awards for its innovative and meticulous cuisine: candied octopus, swordfish with sea urchin roe and seaweed, scoop of arroz doce ice cream with grains of rice... Aesthetically pleasing presentations, although a little too expensive, especially the price of drinks, where the establishment makes a big margin.

Close to the Praça dos Touros (bullring), this fine family-run restaurant is worth its weight in gold, as it specializes in typical Portuguese regional cuisine! Since the mid-1980s, the "Perchoir" has been developing a deliciously classic cuisine: cod pataniscas (fritters), scrambled eggs withalheira (game sausage), rice with eel, cod with lagareira, cabri chops... Beautifully presented, with the flavours of yesteryear. Recently selected as one of Lisbon's top 25 restaurants, a real treat!

Located in the corner of Rato Square, on the street that goes to Príncipe Real, this brewery is seen by its imposing façade. It is installed in a public building dating back to 1741, which later underwent several transformations - the objective was to unify the architecture of the neighborhood. At the time, it was in this area that silk was manufactured, and the building had the Kingdom silk factory. It should be noted that the project was originally designed by the French Weaver Robert Godin. Inside, a spacious and warm setting, and attentive service. The flat side serves Portuguese cuisine, a great deal of choice: Du-fries - served with sauce - rice with seafood, grilled fish - we recommend mero - octopus in the oven, cod specialities… For a small snack in the afternoon, there are plenty of petiscos. Excellent value for money.

In a street parallel to Almirante Reis Avenue, with a typical Portuguese decoration and a special attention to presentation, Franginho Real offers well elaborated Portuguese dishes made mainly with meat (not recommended for vegetarians). One of the specialties, "O frango a guia", a chicken with a small preparation, is to be discovered. As curiosities: a caipirinha and starters with grilled sausages. An elaborate range of wines.

In a usual rather harsh setting with an aluminium counter and half-height tiles on the walls, the menu offers us some classics: sprinkle with mariscos, sprinkle with tamboril, açorda with mariscos, fondues, porco carne na cataplana and then quite a few grilled fish with rice or potatoes. The products are fresh, the wines mainly from the Douro and Alentejo, the service is well established and the clientele is 90% satisfied. Don't miss the last Friday of the month, the meal singing with very good fado artists!

According to them, it's the best-kept secret in the neighborhood. Here you ring the doorbell to enter. The staff are waiting to offer you discreet, attentive service. You enter a refined, romantic setting for a quiet evening for two or with friends, far from the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood. On the menu are à la carte dishes or a selection of tapas with ultra-careful presentation. All washed down with a good selection of wines. The restaurant boasts a wine list with over 100 references!

A few steps from A Brasileira's glorious past, between its old decoration, its waiters in large aprons and its famous cakes, this house has the favours of many Lisbonites who sit inside (with restaurant at the back) or on the terrace. Greed sometimes imposes sacrifices, such as submitting to a cashier who is impassive and not always friendly. If you have opted for a (more expensive) table, you can point out to the server what you want. And, no mercy for the croissants!

The restaurant of Adelina da Silva Melo is very warm, and all fish specialities from the region are tasted. Bonito!

A large bistro-style room, large leather benches reminiscent of club chairs, bottles of wine displayed on the back wall: in short, everything to feel in a warm atmosphere. Located on the first floor of the Tivoli Oriente hotel, this restaurant invites you to indulge without feeling guilty. You'll find classic Italian dishes: pizzas, pastas but also salads and all kinds of side dishes.

Once a tea room, this is now a restaurant. Here, in a historic Sintra house, you can enjoy a fine meal, while admiring the painted and molded ceilings, the view over the gardens and the antique furniture. Everything is done to immerse you in the romantic Sintra of the 18th^{and 19th} centuries. The cuisine is Mediterranean-inspired, using the finest ingredients possible. There are also options for vegetarians, such as risotto with baby vegetables.

Initially, it was a project to promote small producers through the sale of monthly baskets. The project has grown since 2019, and has become a laboratory for experimentation thanks to this café, which opened in the Campo de Ourique neighborhood. As well as being a café, it's a pop-up kitchen that can be booked to test its catering concept. In this way, the offer changes regularly, and you'll have the opportunity to preview the cuisine of future restaurants.

Immerse yourself in the Mexican atmosphere by walking through the door of this restaurant. Its motto: I eat tacos therefore I exist. We will have understood which dish is put in the honor here! Don't worry, there are also other dishes like salads, nachos or tortas (improved sandwiches). We like to come there at the time of the happy hour, to have two margaritas for the price of one. Outside, a small improvised terrace with chairs and multicolored tables. Inside, a lot of colors also with a big mural.

Oven, in reference to the famous tandoor oven used in Indian cuisine for over 5,000 years! This restaurant brought one, handcrafted from Delhi: no less than 8,500 km traveled to the streets of Baixa Pombalina. Chef Hari Chapagain has composed a menu with the most traditional dishes of Indian and Nepalese cuisine, such as the famous tandoori chicken. A menu with a wide choice of dishes including vegetarian options. And, unusual in Indian restaurants, there are also desserts...

You'll love this address, that's for sure! A large room with marble tables and rustic wooden chairs, walls decorated with objects from yesteryear: everything is there to immerse you in the atmosphere. There's no doubt you're in Portugal! Behind the counter, you can watch the chef prepare your dish before it reaches your table. The portions are very generous. Friendly service. A very good address for Portuguese food. Reservations required if you want a table.

The name of this restaurant is clandestine, but it has become a must in Cascais. Especially if you are a fan of seafood. On the menu in this establishment: sandwiches like focaccias, bruschettas or salads. In the evening, you can also opt for a nice seafood table to share with friends. The octopus carpaccio is also a great success. Located in a small street called rua Amarela, the establishment has its cousin, Taberna Clandestina, just across the street for a drink.

Since its creation in 2018, this restaurant-bar has not been empty. It must be said that it is extremely well located, in a small street very quiet, between two stairs. It has a shaded terrace where you will like to settle down to eat or have a drink with one or two tapas, in order to take a break from the bustle of the historical center. Here you will find tapas and typical Portuguese dishes like bacalhau a bras or prego não pão . The prices remain reasonable, a good option to eat not too expensive in Sintra.

Small in size but big in quality, D'As Beatas is a restaurant worth a visit. You may be surprised by its somewhat avant-garde logo, but the cuisine is very traditional. The reviews of the customers are full of praise. The presentation of the dishes is also very well done. You will have to reserve if you want to have the chance to eat there because it is often full. You will recognize it with its pretty frontage with its picture windows and its two tables outside. So let yourself be tempted...

It is located off the tourist trails of the historical center but it is worth the detour! This new restaurant is run by a French couple, Nathalie and Christophe, who left everything for sunny Lisbon. Both a grocery store and a restaurant, the menu changes every day according to the season's products. Portuguese cuisine with a French touch or French dishes, they delight both Portuguese and French visitors. A choice of wines worthy of a wine shop and a smiling and benevolent welcome. Very good quality-price ratio.

A real tasca as we like them! Hidden in a small street, this restaurant is a pearl that should not be disclosed to everyone. A menu with typical meat dishes( Portuguesecozido, pork secretos, grilled meats...) and fish dishes (cod, grilled fish, octopus Lagareiro style), but also other options for vegetarians (omelette, vegetarian burger). All this at unbeatable prices (for now). If you're lucky, you'll come one day when they have frango assado, the famous Portuguese grilled chicken.

We can't get enough of these nice little Portuguese canteens. Sacco belongs to this category. Not far from Campo dos Mártires da Pátria, and from the miradouro of Torrel, its small terrace awaits you for a dinner in the tradition. Inside, the room is decorated in a modest but welcoming way with panelling on the walls and paintings showing the particularities of Lisbon. You will find all the dishes that make the success of the local cuisine. The reception is very friendly and, if you come early, they even let you just have a drink on the terrace.

Located not far from the Ribeira Market, Manah offers you dishes with oriental flavors, straight from Israel. This establishment has created a warm atmosphere to receive its customers, so that they feel at home. Because its cuisine is above all a cuisine to share. This is the concept of the mezze, an assortment of dishes to share. Those who are used to Lebanese dishes will find familiar flavors. A very good quality-price ratio.

The first pizza as we know it today was made in 1889. In 1972, Chakall was born. As an adult, he traveled the world, discovering unknown flavors. He settled in Lisbon to open this establishment. The pizzas are made with dough that rises for 32 to 72 hours, for easy digestion. You can choose between the classic version, the one with activated charcoal or the one with turmeric. Each option has a wide range of toppings made from fresh ingredients.

Renowned photographer and art director Yves Callewaert and chef Camila Martins have teamed up to create Magnolia: bistro-café by day and wine bar by night. If you visit their Instagram account, you'll find yourself salivating over the dishes and desserts photographed. During the day, you can go there for a light meal or brunch. In the evening, you can eat their delicious tapas like this table of cheeses with blue cheese from Arrabida.

At Lx Factory, there's a place where you can eat chicken in all its forms. Its name is a combination of the word Chicken and the suffix "inho", which can be found in many Portuguese words. We tried the tenders, which were a success, and we recommend the weggies as a side dish. Portions are generous, so don't be too ambitious... The place has a terrace, partially sheltered from the sun, which is pleasant because the large dining room can have a bit of a refectory atmosphere when it's full.

Hard to know if it's true, but they claim to be the first place in Lisbon to serve empanadas in the Latin American tradition. In any case, when you enter El Pibe, the decor invites you to escape for a meal, far from the Portuguese capital. There's a wide choice of fillings: octopus, chorizo and mozzarella, eggplant and tomato sauce... Other typical dishes include Lomito (a sandwich with beef, tomato, avocado and onion) or Choripan. For dessert, don't forget to try one of Argentina's specialties: alfajores.

Retrogusto's plan is to bring the Sicilian and Neapolitan pizza tradition to the heart of Lisbon. They work with a mixture of three different flours to make the dough, which is then left to rise for at least 48 hours. As well as applying traditional recipes, care is taken to recreate a special atmosphere, paying attention to the smallest details... At their Retrogusto Experience address, they also organize events to showcase Italian culture.

This recently opened establishment offers bistro-style cuisine. Located in a small and quiet street, you will be able to have a brunch or lunch in the sun on the terrace, without being disturbed by cars. In your plate, the flavors mix to create original and gastronomic dishes. Those with a sweet tooth will love the brownie and its miso caramel sauce. For those who prefer salty food, you can be seduced by mac'n'cheese with truffles or steak tartare with seasonal fruits and cashew nuts.

Definitely a great place to eat Italian. The place is very small, so you'll have to come early to have space but it's worth it! A homemade decoration in the window calls out to you from the street. You will then enter a very narrow space where the bar is located to then go down to the room itself. It is in the back room that concerts are organized. To eat, we recommend the burrata with truffles. There is also a well-stocked cocktail menu, some of which are the house's own creation.

A restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere and original decor inspired by Lisbon architecture. In this establishment, you'll enjoy traditional cuisine, brought up to date and, above all, with a presentation worthy of a gourmet restaurant.

There's also a terrace where you can soak up the last rays of sunshine while enjoying tasty dishes.

Traditional cuisine revisited to bring it up to date: that's what this restaurant offers. The restaurant is located in a beautiful old building with stone vaults and azulejo walls. The dishes are nicely presented in a gastronomic style and the portions are smaller than in traditional restaurants. Half-cooked tuna, grilled octopus with salad, but also burrata or ceviche. It also has a nice selection of wines and cocktails. For sure something to spend a good evening.

No one suspects what is inside this building whose walls are covered with mirrors at the entrance. When you enter, you immediately notice his bar. Particularity of the place: it has kept the concrete arches that date back to the 1950s and blend in perfectly with the decor. The menu is very complete with fish and meat dishes and options for vegetarians. Grilling is one of the specialities. Desserts are not to be outdone and we recommend the caramel cake with its hazelnut ice cream. A delight!

The rua da Silva is a small, hidden street where nature has reclaimed its rights. There are plants on every balcony and in front of every door. On this street you'll find several restaurants and bars, including A Obra. It has a small, beautifully decorated room where wood dominates. Soft lighting creates an intimate atmosphere. The menu changes regularly and offers petiscos and main courses. There's something for every taste, and you'll find it hard to choose. How about zucchini with homemade pesto and parmesan? And don't forget to try the desserts!

Located in a former vacation camp, this site, lost in the middle of the maritime pines and very close to the sea, brings together a range of services: accommodation, coworking, bars and food-trucks, as well as a wellness and treatment area. You could live here in autarky for quite some time, especially as there's also a grocery store for everyday shopping. Concerts and other events are organized at weekends, thanks in particular to MUSA (Lisbon's own craft brewery), which initiates quite a few things.

This restaurant offers a taste of the cuisine of Macau, a former Portuguese colony. Although not widely available here, this cuisine has a lot to offer.
