Lisbon > Lisbon Restaurants

Advantages: The food, the premises, the relation quality/price
Disadvantages: none

We went to this discreet restaurant with terrace, taken by friends of Lisbon and… that differentiates! We ate in several restaurants in the previous days, some of them also in "baixa of Lisbon" and in "bairro alto"… we were disillusioned with the portuguese gastronomy… But the restaurant Nilo, located in the charmer "baixa of Lisbon" (Rua dos correeiros n.ºs 217-219; telephone: 213427810), near the beautiful "Rossio" and "Praça da Figueira", in a ...
...of the others for having delicious Portuguese typical food with fresh and quality products to prices very in account, with an honest and effective service. They have delightful portuguese food from all regions of Portugal: codfish, Algarve´s style fried pork meat with shrimps, veal filets with Oporto wine, grilled fresh fish and beefsteaks. And very important!!! It is one of the few restaurants in Lisbon in which we were not robbed in the couvert ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful decoration, cozy!
Disadvantages: No parking for car outiside!

I live in Lisbon and I didn't know they were serving dinners! I always went there later in the evening. So that's how I recommend the place! The decoration is really astonishing, small objects everywhere, great collections of miniature soldiers and other funny things. You won't take your eyes from the walls and ceiling! I see it as a good pub/bar, so with this deocratio, it's the perfect place to have a drink with your friends or have a light meal! ...
...different rooms, so you'll never feel you're in a crowded place! Every time I go there I feel like I'm entering in a whole new dimension. I recommend it to everyone who's coming to Lisbon and want to try a different evening. But if you're driving, is not a good solution. Go walking or take a taxi. It's in "Bairro Alto"! ...

Advantages: The best custard tarts in the world
Disadvantages: I don't live next door

...be a trip to the Antiga Casa de Pasteis de Belem - or, to translate roughly, the Old Tart House of Belem. As we drove back and forth she would point out of the window at an unprepossessing little shop with a blue and white awning and a very long queue outside and murmur in hushed tones about the delights still to come. So Where is This Remarkable Shop? **************************** Belem is the river-side area at the heart of the tourist map of ...
...within sniffing distance of the Antiga Casa. Take Care ******** Crossing the road in front of the shop whilst thinking about tarts could be dangerous to your health. The traffic is shocking and you will need your wits about you. The Casa Itself ************* The building is a rabbit warren of rooms, mostly tiled in traditional Lisbon blue and white. There must be a dozen different rooms, each filled to bursting with little tables and chairs ... Read review

Advantages: trendy and mixed crowd
Disadvantages: small and crowded

The Bairro Alto is definitely the area in Lisbon with the largest number of bars and clubs per square meter. Its narrow cobblestone streets are somewhat quiet during the day, with only a few trendy shops and typical restaurants open, but when it comes to nightlife it really comes to life! The street are almost always crowded with people wandering from bar to bar, especially at weekends (obviously) but also throughout the week. The centre of all ...
...that serves as meeting point for all the locals, and I'd say at the moment the "Clube da Esquina" (or "Corner Club") is exactly that. There you can find a mixed crowd of people of every nationality, race, social status or sexual preference cohabiting in harmony (aaaaaaahhh...). Of course a couple of drinks probably help, but it's still a nice atmosphere with great music. As with most places in the Bairro, it'll be so crowded that you'll probably ... Read review

Advantages: The best custard tarts in the world!
Disadvantages: None!

The "pasteis de nata" or custard tarts are one of the most popular delicacies found in cafes around Portugal and particularly in Lisbon, but these ones are just in a league of their own! They follow an ancient secret recipe that is passed on from generation to generation and is only known by two people in the whole world. They have this amazing crispy puff pastry shell that is so fine that it melts in your mouth and the most delicious custard-like ...
...and top it with cinnamon and icing sugar if you like. If you're in a hurry, you can buy them to take away like most people do, but if you have time sit down and relax with a cup of espresso and appreciate the busy and friendly atmosphere and the beautiful surroundings. The interiors have been restored and kept as they were in the nineteenth century with lots of hidden corners, arched passages and hand-painted tile murals. So, if you visit the Belem ... Read review
