Restaurants/Bars
SUD Lisboa
On Pavilhão Poente Av. Brasília, 1300-598
Incredible for lunch, dinner or drinks and with seating available outside as well as in, this beautiful, riverside restaurant has a spectacular view of the 25 de Abril Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in Europe and reminiscent of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The seafood in particular is spectacular and the cocktail bar is first class.
Café de São Bento
On R. de São Bento 212, 1200-821
Wonderful classic steak restaurant with great drinks and amazing staff; this place feels like it has been around forever….I love these kind of places….most of the clients appear local and that just adds to the experience. Very substantial wine list. When you walk in, it is cozy and you are sure there isn’t a seat but they find you a place and it is so worth it. Bonus: Café de São Bento is just around the corner from Foxtrot and so, an evening can be made between these two great spots.
Foxtrot
On Tv. Santa Teresa 28, 1200-405
Polished “speakeasy” style cocktail bar….incredible vibe and amazing drinks. One of those unique places that when you get there, a smile appears on your face.
Entretanto Rooftop Bar – Hotel do Chiado
On R. Nova do Almada 114, 1200-290
Incredible views of Lisbon and a very serviceable cocktail bar. As is often the case it is about location, location, location.
