On Day 27 in Lisbon, Portugal, I made up my mind to eat as much Portuguese food and at some of the best local restaurants in Lisbon. It turned out to be a fantastic day in Lisbon with some seriously good Portuguese food!

00:36 Cafe Martinho Da Arcada at Praça do Comércio – The first place we stopped in the morning is a legendary cafe in Lisbon that is the oldest cafe in Lisbon called Cafe Martinho Da Arcada. The main reason I wanted to go there was to try their pastéis de bacalhau, classic Portuguese food codfish fritters. The coffee and ambience and of the cafe was also nice. Total price – 9.30 EUR

Restaurante Zé da Mouraria (I think it was closed for holidays) – I really wanted to eat at this restaurant during my visit to Lisbon, but unfortunately they were closed for holidays, so if you go to Lisbon and are looking for local Portuguese food, check this place out.

5:32 Restaurante Cantinho do Aziz – For our next meal, although not Portuguese food, but more Mozambican food, we headed over to Restaurante Cantinho do Aziz. The food was remarkable, one of the best meals I had in Lisbon. I first began with some beef samosas which were insanely good, and then had spicy bakra piri piri, spicy lamb ribs. Total price – 35.00 EUR

11:14 Restaurante A Merendinha do Arco – Finally, to try some authentic Portuguese food in Lisbon, we headed over to a restaurant called Restaurante A Merendinha do Arco. This small family run restaurant serves delicious Portuguese food and many of the classics. I ordered bacalhau com grão, codfish with garbanzo beans and carne de porco à alentejana, pork with clams. Along with the delicious local food, what I loved was the ambiance and feel of the restaurant. Total price – 20.15 EUR

22:10 Oceanário de Lisboa (Entrance price – 17 EUR per person) – By this point on this Portuguese food tour of Lisbon, I was feeling pretty full, so we headed over to Oceanário de Lisboa and walked around one of Europe’s biggest aquariums.

24:22 Cafe on Avenida da Liberdade (Coffee – 1.40 EUR) – One of the things I love about Lisbon is the social cafe culture and atmosphere. In the afternoon I was starting to feel pretty sleepy, so before dinner, I had a cup of coffee at an outdoor cafe along Avenida.

25:12 Solar dos Presuntos – For the last Portuguese meal in on this food tour of restaurants in Lisbon, I decided to eat at a restaurants called Solar dos Presuntos. I didn’t know it was going to be such a fancy high end restaurant, but it was our last night in Lisbon, so we decided to go for it. I started with the pata negra, a plate of incredibly good ham. Then I ordered the polvo à lagareiro, some of the most tender octopus I’ve ever had in my life. Finally we also ordered dourada grelhada – gilt-head sea bream fish. The food was expensive, but delicious. Total price – 60.85 EUR.

This was a fantastic day of Portuguese food in Lisbon, and many of the places we ate today were the best restaurants I tried in Lisbon.

  1. The scenes at the cafes (especially at the Cantinho do Aziz) created an almost Gouldian effect to the extent that the ambient conversations served as a nearly contrapuntal accompaniment to the primary themes of Mark's narrative.

  2. So actually no one fed you "cozido à portuguesa"? Or "Sopa da Pedra"? What about desserts? Like "ovos moles" or "toucinho do céu"?

  3. That is one of the best seafood restaurant in Lisbon but expensive.
    On the south part of Lisbon, you can eat very fresh seafood restaurants near the beach and less expensive

  4. The local where you eat the best "carne de porco à alentejana" is on the other side of the river, called Cacilhas and the clamps are portuguese and not that vietnamite frozen

  5. Yes that restaurant where you eat bacalhau its more of our kind, traditional. The garlic you must smach it first and mix with the slice of codfish, potato and olive oil. Only the garlic is hard to eat ?

  6. Mark, the next time you visit Portugal, I advise you to visit the north of the country, the Minho region is one of the richest gastronomically. Lisbon has many good restaurants, but the regional quality is seen in the simplicity of the people, the villages. However I leave my congratulations for the video and for your presence.

  7. Always with the same reaction! He can eat even a peace of shi* he will close his eyes, smile and turn to his right. ALWAYS
