1. Caba\u00e7as – For the Steak on the Stone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Locals and curious tourists queue up at Caba\u00e7as<\/a> for one thing only: the steak on the stone. First, you leave your name with the staff and then all you have to do is wait for the call. There will be no discussion about how well you want your steak because you\u2019ll be cooking it yourself! Just pick your favorite cut of meat, and the waiter will bring it on a sizzling hot stone. Then it\u2019s up to you to season it and dip it in one of their tasty sauces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> Make sure to arrive early to get a seat. Also, ask how long you have to wait. If it\u2019s more than 15 minutes, you can grab a drink at a bar nearby and come back later. Just remember to leave your name!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Address:<\/strong> Rua das G\u00e1veas 8<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Stasha – A Taste of the Sea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The sea might be far away, but Stasha<\/a> has brought it to the heart of Bairro Alto. There\u2019s a variety of seafood on offer, though the salmon is by far the winner. The dish is served with a side of mushroom risotto, that we could order again and again! For meat, we recommend the pork loin with goat cheese. Unlike most Portuguese restaurants, Stasha also caters for vegetarians, so no one is left out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Z\u00e9 Varunca – The Flavors of Alentejo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Good cooking runs in the Varunca family. This restaurant has been passed down from generation to generation ever since 1981. It\u2019s the family atmosphere that makes you feel at home every time you visit Z\u00e9 Varunca<\/a>. Here you can find typical dishes from the Alentejo<\/a> region served in colorful plates. Our favorite is the Carne de Porco \u00e0 Alentejana<\/em>, grilled pork served with clams and a bit of lemon. Make sure to order the coffee which comes in a beautiful hand-painted mug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Tapa Bucho – For Tapas & Petiscos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spain meets Portugal at Tapa Bucho<\/a>. This cozy restaurant has the best of both worlds, including the famous Portuguese petiscos<\/a>: <\/em>simple dishes made to share. We love the Mexilh\u00f5es \u00e0 Bulh\u00e3o Pato<\/em> (clams with a garlic and cilantro sauce) and the Pica-pau<\/em> (little pieces of beef seasoned with garlic).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> They don\u2019t take bookings so go early!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. O Faia – A Fado Restaurant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

O Faia<\/a> offers an intimate experience in Bairro Alto: a dinner combined with a fado<\/em> show. The restaurant was founded by two fado<\/em> singers back in 1947, and it remains one of the best places to listen to fado<\/em><\/a>, a Portuguese music genre famous for its sad tunes. The dim lights provide the perfect setting for the show, which takes place every evening, except Sunday when it closes. On the menu are typical Portuguese dishes and a vast selection of local wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> You need to spend at least \u20ac50 on a meal, but it\u2019s worth it for the experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Address:<\/strong> Rua da Barroca 54-56<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Valdo Gatti – The New Italian Restaurant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Valdo Gatti<\/a> might be a new addition to Bairro Alto, but it\u2019s already one of our favorite spots! From Portugal come the vegetables, the olive oil, and the herbs. Add some Italian ingredients, like the organic flour and the buffalo mozzarella, and you’ve got yourself a delicious artisan pizza. There are 12 pizzas on the menu, but you can also make your own. We love the Crudaiola Antonino<\/em>, which comes with cherry tomatoes and avocado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Address:<\/strong> Rua do Gremio Lusitano 13<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Tantura – From Israel to Lisbon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elad and Itamar arrived in Lisbon for their honeymoon and instantly fell in love with the city. Little did they know, that years later they would open a restaurant here. Back then, there weren’t many vegetarian restaurants in the city, so it was the perfect place to bring their Middle Eastern roots. They’ve taken their grandmother’s recipes and made them their own. You can tell everything is made with love at Tantura<\/a>, from the house bread to the hummus. We can\u2019t get enough of their shakshuka<\/em> though, a tomato-based dish with onions, peppers and a perfectly-cooked poached egg on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Address:<\/strong> Rua do Trombeta 1D<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
