Lisbon: mostly where to eat and some more tips

Classic Lisbon

Restaurante Pap`Açorda
R. da Atalaia 57
1200 Encarnação, Lisboa, Portugal
213 464 811‎
This is in the barrio alto. Difficult to find. Usually great food and trying to be hip. The service has an attitude but you can fund a posh night here and the location is great to walk around after


Pastéis De Belém
R. de Belém 84
1300 Santa Maria de Belém, Lisboa, Portugal
213 637 423‎
This is the place for the pasties de belem (custard pie as the English will say). Just on the right side (in you have the sea on your back) of the monasterios dos jeronimos and across the Belem monument to the famous Portuguese explorers. The pasties are just amazing, take a whole box with 5 just baked inside, close your eyes put one on your mouth and you will be in heaven

Restaurante Porto de Santa Maria
2750 Guincho
Portugal
214 871 036‎

If you want fresh seafood and a taste of quite luxurious restaurant this is the place. However you need a car as it is easily 30 minutes from Lisbon, but actually probably 20m drive from Estoril.
It is on a almost deserted beach so a great place to take a stroll after lunch or feel really special at night looking at the stars after a great crayfish

Hotel York House – As Janelas Verdes

R. das Janelas Verdes 32
1200 Santos-o-Velho, Lisboa, Portugal
213 962 435‎

this is a small boutique hotel. It does serve food in a little terrace outdoors by the pool. The place is just fantastic for a very relaxed dinner with no noise or nothing to bother you around

As Docas


This is the area right under the 25th april bridge, which is full of restaurants (mostly old warehouses converted) and plces to go out at night

Some of the nice restaurants are:

-Restaurante Espalha Brasas
Doca de Santo Amaro, Arm. 9 - 1350-353 LISBOA
Portugal
213 962 059‎

Restaurante Doca 6
As docas, Lisboa
Portugal

The not well known tip - NOT to miss
An amazing place for fresh seafood is Cervejaria Ramiro‎ Av. Alm. Reis 1, 1150 Anjos, Lisboa, Portugal‎ - 218 851 024‎
