Meet you there?
Trindade is considered the oldest and most beautiful brewery in Portugal.
The restaurant is located in the decommissioned convent of the Frades Trinos da Redenção dos Cativos (Triune Friars of the Redemption of the Captives), originally built in the 13th century and rebuilt in the 18th century following the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.
Much-awarded Portuguese chef Alexandre Silva – an expert in Portuguese gastronomy – is behind the menu at Trindade.
A unique restaurant located inside a palace built in 1781, Palácio Chiado has a wide range of Portuguese and international cuisine on the menu.
A good option for larger groups, Palácio Chiado pleases all palates and has plenty of space – plus the architecture and design of the restaurant offer plenty to talk about should a lull arise in the conversation.
Via Graça is an obligatory stop for a traditional Portuguese dinner. Octopus, bacalhau and the famous duck rice – with magret and foie gras – are the highlights.
The restaurant also offers one of the most distinctive views over Lisbon, showing Lisbon’s roofs, the Ponte 25 de Abril bridge, the Tagus and Cristo Rei.
Housed in a former fish factory, Prado celebrates the best Portugal has to offer from sea to land. All dishes are inspired by and made with seasonal, fresh Portuguese ingredients.
The food pairs well with an extensive wine list featuring only organic, biodynamic and natural wines.
Authentic Japanese cuisine for lovers of exotic flavours, By Koji offers a traditional menu with a high-quality selection of ingredients and beautiful presentation.
Japanese chef Shinya Koike leads at the restaurant, which maintains the high quality you find at all restaurants under the mantle of renowned chef Koji Yokomizo, respected for his ability to personally choose the best fish.
Italian classics and wood-fired pizza are spotlighted in this industrial-chic space, which has a patio with views over the Tagus River.
Zero Zero is perfectly located at Parque das Nações – right next to the Web Summit venue – and offers fresh cocktails alongside an extensive menu.
Pastéis de nata are available everywhere in Lisbon, but the most famous producer of this golden pastry is still a mandatory gastronomic stop.
In 1837, this busy spot in Belém began making the original Pastéis de Belém, following an ancient recipe from the nearby Mosteiro dos Jerónimos. The secret recipe is recreated every day in the bakery, by hand, using only traditional methods.
Pastéis de Belém offers the unique flavour of time-honoured Portuguese sweet making. Its popularity guarantees several batches a day, so they are always warm and fresh.
