Plus points at this place include the traffic-free square and friendly staff.
-
The city’s most famous café is an Art Nouveau tunnel of florid stuccowork, mirrors and paintings from its 1920s heyday. The tables outside, where a bronze of poet Fernando Pessoa still lingers today, are among Lisbon’s most coveted.
-
This attractive restaurant serves Portuguese fare, mainly hailing from the Alentejo region. Desserts are staunchly traditional and magnificently calorific.
-
Ginjinha is Portuguese cherry liqueur and this tiny bar serves virtually nothing else. A Ginjinha has survived for over 150 years on sheer single-mindedness.
-
A vaulted-brick ceiling gives this rustic bar and restaurant a rather grand frame. The next-door restaurant, O Bacalhoeiro , has the same owners.
-
Set in a convent building, this is one of Lisbon’s most characterful restaurants in terms both of location and food (see A Travessa ).
-
In the grand surroundings of an old convent (shared with a puppet museum and private residents) is this welcoming restaurant that feels like it could be in a provincial town. The food, though, is cosmopolitan, successfully mixing Portuguese, Belgian and French influences to gourmet effect.
-
This classic Bairro Alto restaurant specializes in simple grilled fish and meat. Portions are traditionally generous – one is usually enough for two.
-
When this stunning bar and pleasantly cosmopolitan restaurant opened in the late 1980s, Lisbon had neither seen nor tasted its like. It still impresses.
-
There are tables on the steps outside this friendly place. The mainly Portuguese dishes have a modern touch. Lamb is a good option.
