11 Places to eat in Lisbon

Über die letzten Jahre haben wir immer wieder von unseren liebsten Plätzen in und um Lissabon berichtet. Damit ihr nicht mehr alle Posts nach Tipps durchforsten müsst, stellen wir euch 11 unserer Lieblingsrestaurants und -Cafés in Lissabon vor. Hier ist unser Lisbon Food Guide:

You’ll find Moules & Co in Lisbon, Cascais in Porto. They all have one concept: The main dishes are moules in various delicious versions like pesto, chili or traditional Portuguese à Bulhão Pato and more which are served with fries at the side. Each Moules & Co restaurant offers their own special beverages – beer in Lisbon, gin cocktails in Cascais and sangria in Porto. It’s the perfect place for dinner or lunch break after sun bathing in Cascais. For a main dish and beverage you pay about 15 Euros per person.

Our go to destination for lunch time and almost tradition for every lisbon trip is Royale Café. Here you get delicious and fresh food that aren’t too heavy to eat in the hot weather. We highly recommend to get the grilled octopus – it’s super yummy and tender. For a main dish and beverage (try the white sangria or fresh lemonades) you pay about 15 € each.

Pastéis de nata were created by Catholic monks at the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos.

The Restaurante Cabaças is a very authentic Portuguese restaurant. It’s noisy, cramped, yummy and always crowded. If you arrive at the place put yourself on the waiting list and grab a drink in Bairro Alto while you wait. We go there for the „Steak on the Rocks“ resp. picanha – it’s good meat which you cook by yourself on a very hot stone. It comes with fries and three sauces. The dish is very popular among the men. And the price of 10€ (without beverages) is incredible.

At the beach you usually eat anything you can get. But if you want to go to the beach and still eat kinda „fancy“, you have to go to Praia da Rainha and eat burger (for about 5€!) at Pelicano & Kikiriki. Praia da Rainha is part of Costa da Caparica and you can get there only by car or scooter but it’s not very crowded, almost empty even.

Café da Garagem is a real insiders‘ tip as you can only find it if you know of it. At sunset or night enjoy a jug of vinho verde or a piece of the warm chocolate cake with a breathtaking view over Lisbon. Or try their salads and sandwiches – also yummy! The interior is very unique and the atmosphere represents the ultimate relaxed Lisbon feeling. There’s a Portuguese saying that the bill hurts like a stone in your shoe. So they bring the bill inside a shoe along with a little stone. How cute is that?! The prices at Café da Garagem actually don’t hurt that much.

Petiscos is the Portuguese version of tapas (dishes to share). At Petiscaria Ideal you’ll get typical Portuguese petiscos with a modern twist in top quality. It’s one of our most favorite dinner spots of all time! The black pork or tuna steak are to die for! But the mixed plate of deserts (cause you simply can’t decide) is an absolute dream as well. Best to go with 3+ persons so you’ll pay about 15€ each for food, beverages and espresso.

Taberna da Rua das Floras is similar to Petiscaria Ideal. You order several dishes which are served one by one to share at the table. As the restaurant doesn’t have a lot of tables you probably have to wait a bit, but it’s totally worth it!
