The best Brazilian restaurants Lisbon

Always very popular, this Brazilian restaurant combines the charm of an old grocery store with decrepit walls and the "explosive" atmosphere of this kind of establishment. Although a little more expensive than in other places of this kind, the picanha (roasted beef with a strong taste), to be washed down with caipirinhas, is a treat! The meal takes place in a warm atmosphere that is very much appreciated. Generous dishes, tasty desserts, this restaurant is a good option to propel yourself to Brazil for a meal.

Welcomed by two sculpted parrots and an anaconda-shaped armchair, you will discover tables set with white tablecloths and decorated with brightly coloured frescoes. Since 1981, the restaurant has been serving succulent cuisine, typical of Bahia and the Nordeste, with meat and fish dishes and many vegetarian options. If you still have room for dessert, opt for the light exotic fruit mousse or, more caloric, quindin (coconut). Weekend evenings are often crowded, when an event or musical entertainment is scheduled.

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.
