With that in mind, take a look at some of the best restaurants in Lisbon to try. Have the best trip.

1. Augusto Lisbon

If you are looking for a tasty brunch, be sure to check out Augusto Lisboa which will allow you to spend a day exploring Lisbon. This little café in the Alfama neighborhood is a great place to start the day.

You can stock up on delicious homemade treats before exploring Saint-Georges Castle and the neighborhood’s winding streets. This is truly one of the best restaurants in Lisbon for an early morning feast.

2. Crisfama

Now, if you are looking for typical Portuguese cuisine, be sure to stop by Crisfama. Not only that, but the restaurant is also charming and intimate and the portions are very generous.

Honestly, it's a great place to go for dinner; especially after a long day exploring the best places in Lisbon. Their fresh grilled fish is so good.

3. A Venda Lusitana

For me, A Venda Lusitana is one of the best restaurants in Lisbon to visit for Portuguese tapas. I really loved their Portuguese sausages and cheese. It was so good.

Don't trust the owner's somewhat heavy-handed advice, he only wants to tell you the best things to taste.

In addition, they also offer a tasty wine list.

4. To Avo Tinha

Another Lisbon gem, A Avo Tinha is not far from Fonte Luminosa and easily ranks among the best restaurants in Lisbon.

Once there, be sure to try their black pork lagartinhos, sardinhas and grilled alheira which is so good. Not only that, but A Avo Tinha also has a totally welcoming and warm atmosphere.

5. Pasteis de Belem

Impossible to go to Lisbon without tasting the pasteis de nata. This Portuguese pastry is a treat for the taste buds! Taste this little flan you will not be disappointed. To be enjoyed on the banks, in the sun, still warm.

6. Floresta Das Escadinhas

A very small restaurant that doesn't look like much. Here we taste the specialties of Portuguese cuisine. The dishes cost around 12 euros.

Local cuisine, with excellent service. Don’t miss the delicious sardine in green wine.

7. Ponto finale

My favorite is the Ponto Final restaurant. It is located on the other side of the Tagus, it can be easily reached by ferry in less than 10 minutes. The crossing costs 1.25 euros.
This restaurant offers a beautiful view of the city of Lisbon. Here you can taste all the typical Portuguese dishes. THE cuisine is local and of good quality. The prices are a little higher, of course you pay for the view. But what a joy to eat on the terrace with the sound of the waves.

8. Brigadeirando

Let yourself be tempted by homemade treats, hearty toast and pretty breakfast platters to share, before setting off to explore the Belem district and the statue of Vasco da Gama.

Brigadeirando offers a truly unforgettable morning feast. Plus, its location in the LX Factory adds a touch of industrial charm to this dining experience.

9. Time Out Market

If you've had enough of pasteis and cod, you can go to the old market halls of Lisbon! Renamed TIME OUT MARKET.
The large halls have been refurbished, in tones of wood and black metal. The tables are aligned in the middle and all around we discover pretty restaurants! Everyone has their own specialty, so you can easily navigate between the bars and taste lots of things...

10. A Cevicheria by Chef Kiko

A tapas restaurant, known for its ceviches, as its name suggests. Known for its refined decor and its giant octopus suspended at the top of the bar.

Next, take a stroll around town and stop at A Ginginha to taste one of their cherry liqueurs. They are quite famous in the city.

Their specialty is cherry liqueur, a delight!
