Portugal\u2019s capital lives up to its reputation as an \u2018it\u2019 place in Europe, with elegant Pombaline architecture, more historical attractions than you can poke a stick at, and a magical glow come sundown. Oh yeah and food \u2013 it has mighty fine food.<\/p>\n

Whether you want to save or splurge (because let\u2019s face it, if you\u2019re going to cash-splash in Western Europe, Portugal is one of the most affordable countries to do it), we\u2019ve scoped the best restaurants in Lisbon. Time to tuck in.<\/p>\n

Solar 31<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Lisbon<\/p>\n

@mcauliffeemily<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Given Portugal\u2019s Western and Southern borders are bound by sea, it\u2019s no surprise that seafood is the hero of many Portuguese meals. And in central Lisbon is one of the city\u2019s best seafood restaurants, Solar 31. Order whatever whole fish the staff recommend and enjoy it cooked simply, but to perfection. The place can get busy with locals and lucky travellers who\u2019ve discovered its whereabouts up a hill and around a corner, but it\u2019s worth putting your name down for a table.<\/p>\n

Cal\u00e7ada Garcia 31, 1150-049<\/em><\/p>\n

Restaurante RC<\/a>\"Lisbon<\/h2>\n

@mcauliffeemily<\/a><\/p>\n

People in the know want to keep this hole-in-the-wall a secret because nobody wants to see change. Despite being right near the cruise ship terminal and main train station at Santa Apol\u00f3nia, RC is about as traditional as they come. It\u2019s also the best value restaurant in Lisbon. For \u20ac5 you can select a cooked meal from a sizeable menu, with bread, olives, wine and dessert thrown in for good measure. Many locals eat here every day. Expect to be crammed shoulder-to-shoulder with a bunch of strangers but making friends is half the fun.<\/p>\n

Cervejaria Liberdade<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Image: Cervejaria Liberdade<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like your traditional Portuguese with a little more finesse, stroll Lisbon\u2019s beautiful tree-lined high street Avenida da Liberdade, to the cervejaria attached to the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Hotel. The cured meats are up there with the finest and the pica pau (a traditional pork dish) is a flavour-filled knockout. It may be a little pricier than some of the other traditional spots around the city, but still won\u2019t break the bank.<\/p>\n

Av. da Liberdade, 185 1269-050<\/em><\/p>\n

Beco<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

@mcauliffeemily<\/a><\/p>\n

Want to really treat yourself and make a night of it? Then book yourself a table at the cabaret-style restaurant of renowned Portuguese chef Jos\u00e9 Avillez. The operative word here is book, as you\u2019ll need a reservation to enter the heavy doors hidden at the back of the Bairro do Avillez indoor dining precinct. Once inside it\u2019s all glam and a little risqu\u00e9, with saucy dishes interspersed with fun bouts of song and dance. Avillez is also the man behind Lisbon\u2019s two Michelin star Belcanto, but our tip is to opt for the more lively and affordable Beco, which is just as good, if not better. And despite fine dining\u2019s reputation for teeny portion sizes \u2013 a night at Beco will leave you stuffed.<\/p>\n

Bairro do Avillez, Rua Nova da Trindade, 18 1200-303<\/em><\/p>\n

Chutnify<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

@mcauliffeemily<\/a><\/p>\n

This funky restaurant began its life in Berlin, before spreading its modern Indian wings to land in a quiet street in Lisbon\u2019s trendy Pr\u00edncipe Real neighbourhood. Fresh ingredients are spun into Insta-likeable dishes, which importantly happen to taste good too. A place associated with good food and good pics doesn\u2019t go unnoticed, so arrive early or reserve a table.<\/p>\n

Travessa Da Palmeira 44\/46 1200-311<\/em><\/p>\n

Mestre Andr\u00e9<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

@mcauliffeemily<\/a><\/p>\n

After a whip around the country, we\u2019ve decided Mestre Andr\u00e9 might just make the best pataniscas (codfish fritters) in Portugal. This small family-run establishment has been going for decades, so retains valued authenticity in the touristy hub of Alfama. Sometimes the food takes a while to come out, but that\u2019s because everything is cooked to order. So kick back on the terrace with a vinho<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Trust us, it\u2019s worth the wait.<\/p>\n

Cal\u00e7adinha de Santo Estev\u00e3o, 6 1100 – 503\u00a0 Alfama<\/em><\/p>\n

Sherpa Mo:mo<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

@mcauliffeemily<\/a><\/p>\n

No frills, no fuss, good grub. That\u2019s what Sherpa has going on from its perch up a side street in central Lisbon. A\u00a0plate of momos or stir-fry costs less than 5 euros so you can pile you plate with traditional Nepalese flavours. If you\u2019re budget conscious and love a good curry, you might find yourself here every day.<\/p>\n

Cal\u00e7ada de Santana 11\/13 Lisbon, Portugal 1150-301<\/em><\/p>\n

Noobai<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of Lisbon\u2019s highlights and challenges is its hills. Hard to climb but golly there are some cracking views from the top. Noobai is located on one such hill, and from the rooftop terrace, you can gaze across the river to the Cristo Rei statue (the one that looks like Christ the Redeemer in Rio) and the 25 Abril bridge (the one that looks like the Golden Gate in San Fran). Choose from traditional Portuguese dishes like bacalhau com broa<\/em> washed down with a glass of wine. Visit during the day for maximum sun-basking view-absorbing potential.<\/p>\n

Miradouro de Santa Catarina (Adamastor) 1200-401<\/em><\/p>\n

Chin\u00eas Clandestino<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

@mcauliffeemily<\/a><\/p>\n

Lisbon is known to have a secret squirrel network of Chinese restaurants operating behind unmarked doors. So don\u2019t worry about the name of this one, because there is none. Instead, make your way to number 59 and buzz to get in, or feel free to stroll through if the door is open. Once you\u2019re up the stairs a basic but surprisingly large restaurant opens up and you\u2019ll be seated with a long menu of Chinese dishes. To prove you found your way you can grab a pen and sign the wall.<\/p>\n

Rua do Benformoso 59<\/em><\/p>\n

Restaurante A Gina<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Image: Restaurante a Gina<\/p>\n

Another option that\u2019s not quite so secretive is local favourite A Gina. Come with your stretchy pants because the portions here are huge. If you order a beef steak (which you should) you may question whether you inadvertently ordered a horse when a giant slab of meat hits the table. Like all Portuguese restaurants, the bread and cheese offered at the start isn\u2019t free, but do as the locals do and stuff your face with all the bells and whistles. We\u2019ve already established that Lisbon has plenty of calorie-burning hills so you\u2019ll be back into your skinny jeans in no time.<\/p>\n

Parque Mayer, Lisbon, Portugal 1250<\/em><\/p>\n

Frangasqueira Nacional<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

@mcauliffeemily<\/a><\/p>\n

Barbecued chicken is a thing in Portugal and is spun over hot coals to achieve a nice balance of moisture and char. Frangasqueira Nacional in Pr\u00edncipe Real is pint-sized, so best order a serve of chicken and tomato salad for the road. (Ask for a lashing of piri piri if you want to ramp the heat.) Stroll up the street and plonk yourself in a leafy square or park to dive into your finger-lickin\u2019 chicken. The beautiful Jardim do Pr\u00edncipe Real is a good option, and when you\u2019re done, you can wander a block to The Bar for a drink and a rollicking fun night.<\/p>\n
