Anthony Bourdain's rec and my favorite meal in Lisbon. Must try clams in garlic, edible crab, giant tiger prawns, scarlet prawns, steak sandwich (dessert). Fair prices for the high quality (by weight)
The BEST patel de nata in Lisbon, served piping hot. Better (and cheaper) then Pastéis de Belém. Enjoy it with some cinnamon & powdered sugar on top and be mesmerised by the assembly line.
Historic place for pastel de nata. Long queue that moves fast at an industrious pace. Delicious and worth the wait, although I prefer the de nata from Manteigaria :)
The best frango I had in Lisbon was from this unassuming place, at only €7 for a whole chicken! Fast and very friendly service as well. Highly recommended.
Half is the traditional farmer's market, other half is the Time Out (food) Market. Lisbon's very best food (really) in one place. I loved Marlene Vieria - high quality, affordable daily specials
Small plates served one at a time in a lovely atmosphere. Seasonal menu with great quality food at affordable prices. Be prepared for a long wait (we put our name down and came back 2 hours later).
Decent frango (chicken) and fries for under €10. Generous portions. I really enjoyed the codfish fritters (great batter) and chicken broth as well.
"Art deco cafe with outside tables and the statue of Fernando Pessoa, who used to hang out here "
Panoramic views of the city that are (IMHO) worth it. Enjoy a glass of wine at the top.
Built by the same architect as the Bay Bridge in the SF Bay Area, colored the same as the Golden Gate Bridge. Beautiful!
Portugal's version of Rio's Christ the Redeemer, built to commemorate their neutrality during WWII
Cute, historic place to buy sardines and other conserved foods. The staff wrap each can in paper by hand.
Jose Avillez says: "Try their bacalhau a braz (salt cod, potato, and egg) for some true comfort food."
Jose Avillez: "Go here for Northern Portuguese cuisine, which is a little different but very good."
"try the Portugese national dish, bacalhau a bras - stir fry of cod, rice, scrambled eggs, and onions, garnished with black olives"
"Amazing 17th-century church and monastery with a gorgeous view of the city from the top"
Anthony Bourdain recommends the bifana, a pork sandwich topped with chili oil and mustard
A must visit and my personal favorite place in Sintra. This place is HUGE inside. The palace colors are jaw dropping, the gardens vast. More than worth the money.
Historic cafe with Sintra specialty pastries: travesseiros ("pillows" filled with almond) and queijadas (cheese pastries). Busy but fast and friendly service!
