70 Best restaurants in Lisbon

We suspect that, besides the ever-mentioned charm, views, history and sun, Lisbon conquers many in a more natural way: with food. The best restaurants in Lisbon are as varied as the city, offering us authentic trips of flavors. Portuguese cuisine is well represented in the capital, as are the cuisines of other countries. The dynamism of the Lisbon gastronomic scene shows no signs of slowing down. We have Michelin stars, traditional restaurants and environments to delight all the senses. There are waterfront terraces, superb views of the city, spaces that have a history as long as several generations and decades of the country’s history. Thank goodness that Lisbon has so many hills and challenges us: it gives us one more reason to stop and indulge in these irresistible restaurants.
