Restaurants cuisine du monde Lisbon

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.

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.

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!

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. Here, you'll discover a fusion of Chinese and Portuguese flavors, while retaining its authenticity. Chef Xico will prepare your dishes: cassava fries, minchi (the restaurant's star dish, a variation on bitoque), eggplant simmered in spicy coconut milk. For dessert, you can tryaluà made with sweet potato, coconut and almonds.

At the Martinhal Hotel, Terrace offers guests a new culinary experience. Each day has its own theme, and on Sundays, it's brunch for everyone. The restaurant is kid-friendly, so don't worry if you're traveling with the family. And as well as eating well, there's a whole host of entertainment on offer, including live cooking, children's entertainment and live music. In terms of food, you'll find the classics as well as Asian and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, grills and nuggets.

Immerse yourself in an atmosphere worthy of a Bollywood film when you dine at Chutnify, which offers contemporary Indian cuisine. A typical South Indian dish is served: dosas! These are thin, crispy Indian pancakes made from lentils and chickpeas, with a choice of fillings. To our knowledge, this is the only place in Lisbon where you can find them. To accompany your meal, you have the classic lassi, but also cocktails. The concept is so successful that it has now been exported to Cascais.

One of Lisbon's gardens, carefully guarded behind large gates. O Jardim is the second restaurant of the man who calls himself Sr Lisboa. You can choose to eat on the pretty patio or in the room, where wood predominates for a warm ambience. The concept here is more about sharing food, and the portions aren't very big, so you'll probably have to take several per person. On the other hand, the dishes are of the highest quality, with a presentation worthy of a gourmet restaurant.

It's hard to walk past it without noticing how colorful and warm the decor is, definitely reminiscent of Mexico. However, a closer look reveals that Frida Kahlo is surrounded by Japanese camellias and that there are sake jars on the wall. The restaurant's cuisine is a blend of Mexican and Japanese flavors. Once again, Chef Kiko proves that he knows how to mix flavors.

Inspired by French brasseries, this establishment is nestled in the heart of the Cais do Sodré district. Here, you can enjoy dishes such as their famous Bife (Steak) à Brilhante, comfortably seated at the central counter surrounding the open kitchen. The recipe for this dish is inspired by the Lisbon classic Bifteck à Marrare: a specialty in the famous cafés of the ^19th century, and now back with a recipe perfected by chef Luis Gaspar and his team. Be sure to stop by the mirror bar before or after your meal.

For a long time, Lisbon had no real Japanese cuisine on offer. That's now a thing of the past, with several good restaurants including this one, located on a street parallel to Avenida Liberdade. Like a real Tokyo-style stall where you come for a quick bite at the counter, the place is very small, with just 3 tables. We strongly advise you to make a reservation if you can. The storefront is also typical, with small curtains at the entrance. There's a wide choice of ramen, all traditional recipes.

Simplicity and regularity, these are the two qualities that, according to its creator Yin, make Panda Cantina such a success. This is the first establishment to open in 2018, but there are now four others in different parts of the capital. The principle is simple: mainly ramen dishes. Small, welcoming places where you can eat at the counter. You're served in less than 15 minutes and everything is ultra-fresh. It's a sure bet if you want to eat Asian food in Lisbon. What's more, you can choose your level of spiciness from 0 to 5.

A historic restaurant in town, in existence since 1930, changing owners from time to time. Here, hams are hung for customers to see, and on the wall is an attractive collection of wooden clocks. You'll find all the hallmarks of a proper tasca, including the prices. Incidentally, that's why there's a queue outside, as it's not always easy to get a table - the place isn't very big. In any case, this is an address to remember for an inexpensive meal in the midst of the touristy restaurants.

At Pica-Pau, you'll find the whole Portuguese culinary tradition on your plate! With a team led by Chef Luis Gaspar, winner of the Chef de l'Avenir award in 2023, it offers a menu of emblematic dishes such as Bacalhau à Brás, Cozido à Portuguesa or Arroz de Tamboril e Camarão. Located in the heart of the Principe Real district, the establishment welcomes its customers in a room with a refined but cosy decor, where the vegetation is very present. The perfect place to travel from north to south without leaving Lisbon.

This restaurant, in the heart of Alfama, not far from the cathedral, offers atypical cuisine, as its owners like to say. Inside, you'll find a typical Lisbon atmosphere, with calçadas on the floor and beautiful wooden tables for a rustic touch. On your plates: cabbage tempura with kimchi, or mille-feuille with pastel de nata and cinnamon ice cream... You can also opt for a wine tasting package, which includes five wines and five tapas whose ingredients are related to the region of the wine tasted.

Here's a restaurant that the Michelin Guide has also taken notice of, and it's easy to see why. It overshadows José de Avillez's restaurant, located almost directly opposite. On the menu, you'll find dishes from Portuguese gastronomy, but whose presentation will surprise you. There's also a slight Mexican influence, due to the fact that the chef used to work at Hoja Santa in Barcelona (now closed). The decor emphasizes the location in the former Trinidad convent, but also has a contemporary feel.

This restaurant focuses on the classics, without trying to revisit Portuguese cuisine. In the heart of the Mouraria, it makes sense to stick to tradition. Chef Sandra Carvalho prepares dishes such as octopus (which we recommend, as it's unanimously acclaimed by customers) and duck with moscatel reduction. They also have a fine selection of Porto wines to drink by the glass after the meal. The cosy setting creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Set in an inner courtyard, Aprazível welcomes you away from the hustle and bustle of Chiado. It offers a selection of traditional Portuguese dishes and a collection of signature cocktails, which you can enjoy on the terrace in an intimate, relaxed atmosphere. Inside, the space has been specially decorated to create a warm and relaxing environment. An ideal restaurant for a stroll through downtown Lisbon, where you can enjoy good food and relax.

A small bistro has opened just at the foot of theelevador da Bica . It awaits you with its two tables on the terrace and its lawn-like carpet, for a bucolic touch. This establishment is held by the owner of the fire Arco da Velha, an address very known by the Lisbon people. We hope that this place will be as good as the previous one. A real bistro cuisine: salads, burgers, tapas Portuguese style, cheese tables or charcuterie. It is located a little behind the main street, which allows to enjoy being outside.

A good address a little hidden, far from the rush of the city center. As its name indicates, petiscos are waiting for you. We are in the true Portuguese tradition: octopus salad, choco frito, peixinhos d'horta or the very famous chorizo assado. All this at very reasonable prices. In a modern decor and with only 20 seats, the place is intimate and you will surely have to reserve to have a table. The desserts are homemade, so we advise you to keep some space to taste them.

It's part of the same group as Segull Method, Heim Café and Pomme Eatery. This restaurant offers Greek cuisine. Right next to the jardim da Estrela, it's a great place to eat before or after a stroll in the park. Exposed stone walls, amphorae on the shelves, everything is done to immerse us in the atmosphere. The menu is more in the form of tapas to share, and you'll find the famous Greek salad, pita bread, halloumi, tzatziki, moussaka... As for the wines, they come from both Greece and Portugal.

Its name comes from a small village near Tel Aviv. Situated on a hidden street in the Bairro Alto, a little removed from the hustle and bustle of the bars, this restaurant is nonetheless very popular and always full. Owners Elad and Itamar offer Middle Eastern cuisine such as shakshuka, which has its own section on the restaurant menu. For dessert, there's halva of course, but also malabi. Reservations are essential. On weekends, they offer brunch at lunchtime.
