There\u2019s always a reason to visit Pr\u00edncipe Real. Whether you\u2019re popping by for the weekly organic market, or grabbing a drink at the coolest cocktail bars in town<\/a>, this is the place to be.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When Queen Maria II named this area \u201cRoyal Prince\u201d (Pr\u00edncipe Real), she had no idea this would turn out to be one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Lisbon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Surrounded by 19th-century mansions, Pr\u00edncipe Real is now the hub of local design shops. Through the years, several Portuguese chefs<\/a> set up their business here too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you want to know the best restaurants in Pr\u00edncipe Real, this list has everything you need, from hidden gems to fine dining!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Loucos de Lisboa<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s not easy to find Loucos de Lisboa<\/a>, but once you do, we promise you\u2019ll want to come back over and over again.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Inside, there\u2019s a speakeasy vibe, with the dim lighting, mismatch furniture and jazz music playing in the background.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At Loucos de Lisboa, everything revolves around Portuguese petiscos<\/em><\/a>. There\u2019s a variety of local cheeses, the flaming chorizo, and our all-time favorite, the pica-pau<\/em> (little meat chunks).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To wash it all down, there\u2019s God\u2019s juice, by which they mean, wine. Each wine has a short description on the menu to help you make up your mind, or you can follow our advice and go straight for the Alentejo wine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Frangasqueira Nacional<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If there\u2019s one thing Portuguese people eat more than salt cod<\/a>, it\u2019s chicken, especially barbecued chicken.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We call it Frango no Churrasco<\/em>, and you\u2019ll see signs of it all over Lisbon. Our favorite spot to eat chicken in Pr\u00edncipe Real is Frangasqueira Nacional<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We love their chicken with Piri-Piri sauce, but you can also order it with butter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There aren\u2019t many places to sit inside, so follow the locals lead, and order takeaway! You can always do a picnic at Jardim do Pr\u00edncipe Real, which is just around the corner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. A Cevicheria<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s hard to walk past A Cevicheria<\/a> without noticing the crowd outside\u2014that, and the giant octopus hanging above the restaurant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

No one waits empty-handed, though; you can order a beer, wine, or pisco sour<\/em> cocktails while you’re in the queue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Chef Kiko has created a series of ceviches <\/em>exclusively for Cevicheria. Among them, there is a Portuguese version with cod and tremo\u00e7os<\/em> (Lupin beans). Just a heads up, if you order a beer in Portugal, you\u2019re likely to get these with it!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you want more than ceviches<\/em>, we recommend their surf & turf sandwiches, a delicious mix of pork belly, shrimp, and sweet potato bread.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> They don\u2019t accept reservations, so make sure to arrive early!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. O Asi\u00e1tico<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some people travel the world and bring back postcards, others, open their own restaurants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When Chef Kiko returned from his travels, he opened a series of restaurants in Lisbon, including O Asi\u00e1tico<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As the name suggests, this restaurant is all about Asian cuisine, but you can also spot a few Portuguese influences in there. Try the Atlantic Mackerel nigiri or the Vietnamese noodles with Algarve prawn, for example.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The prices are a bit high, but it\u2019s worth it for the experience. Keep in mind that the dishes are made to share!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. Atalho Real<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s not every day you get to eat prime steak in an old Lisbon palace. But that\u2019s what you\u2019ll get here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From Black Angus to Wagyu, Atalho Real<\/a> is a true paradise for meat lovers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After choosing your favorite cut, you\u2019ll have to decide how to eat it\u2014on a plate, or with bread. This last one comes just like the prego<\/em>, the traditional Portuguese steak sandwich.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If the weather is nice, you can have your meal on the terrace which overlooks Lisbon’s Botanical Garden.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> The restaurant is usually quite busy, so make sure to book a table in advance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
