Coffee, dinner, then see where the evening goes

Where to eat & drink in Lisbon

Our Lisbon food guide starts with coffee stops, seafood, bakeries and tables for a longer evening. Choose the meal and area with the filters; look for Umur’s and Onur’s badges on the places we love.

In short

For a Santos morning, start with Neighbourhood’s coffee and brunch. Cervejaria Ramiro is our seafood idea, with a prego (steak sandwich) afterwards. Casa Cabaças is the hot-stone beef choice, while Pastéis de Belém fits a Belém outing. Choose one stop, leave time for the meal and follow the details for the right branch.

Good to know

Where should I start for breakfast in Lisbon?

Choose Neighbourhood or Do Beco in Santos, or Dear Breakfast’s Bica branch. Neighbourhood separates brunch service from its evening burgers.

What should I order in Lisbon?

Start with the dishes in our place notes: shellfish and a steak sandwich at Ramiro, beef on the stone at Casa Cabaças, or a custard tart in Belém. They are menu ideas, not a live list of today’s dishes.

Where can a group eat different dishes?

Time Out Market Lisboa has different counters and communal seating. Browse the counters before deciding.

How do I ask for no coriander?

“Sem coentros, por favor” means “No coriander, please”. Ask before ordering, as soups, sauces and salads may already have it mixed in.
