50 Best Bars in Lisbon

“This experience felt like a warm farewell hug to end my time in Lisbon. I stopped by at dinner time hours before my flight back home. I wanted to end my trip with a wine tasting and found this place on Google. I decided to try it based on the reviews. The overall experience exceeded my expectations. The owner was kind, welcoming, and attentive. I chose 3 plates I was interested in and he decided the order in which to serve them and what wine to pair them with. The flavors of everything were unreal. I might still be riding a little bit of a high from this experience. Absolutely stop by here during your trip.“

“We had an extraordinary enjoyable experience dining in this lovely restaurant at our stay in Lisbon. The food and the wine were excellent and the friendly staff added to the lovely atmosphere. Together with the reasonable price we highly
recommend and will definitely come back.“

“The food was extraordinary, sort of eccentric and exotic, overall delicious, perfect for sharing. The interior of the restaurant was very urban and rich with original art pieces. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and cooperative! Will visit again!? ?“

“We were just in for drinks and this place has everything, great atmosphere, the best self-brewed beers (that were everything as was described on the menu and even by the personnel) we were in doubt between some and we got to try just to be sure. There’s so much history in this place and the staff is happy to tell you about it! All of them were great but the one we actually got to know by name also had amazing stories to tell about what went and still goes on in the neighbourhood, so Paddy, if you’re reading this, thanks for saving our night by lending my gf’s phone some power to get back to our hotel and us to get back to you guys for stories that marked our trip in Lisbon :)“

“In front of the beach, between the Belem tower and the sculpture of discoveries is this cafe!!!
Of course, it also offers food!!!
With beautiful music and a very nice view, you drink your coffee or drink or have a meal!!!!!“

“After Henessy’s in Cais do Sodré closed, I was left wanting for a restaurant with the relaxed vibe, quality food and friendly but efficient service it had. I now found all of this at The George... thank you very much for the warm welcome and the good meal, very good!“

“Probably a tad on the pricier side of Portugal but very good. Good sangria, great Iberian ham, and tried this interesting banana chicken toastie

Great night spot. I went at like 10:30pm

Server was very kind. I will say the place was packed with Americans - you can just hear“

“My boyfriend and I went to lunch. The decoration transports you to the Middle Ages, what's more, the waitresses are dressed according to the era, and they perfectly recommended the quantities to us. We ordered chorizo, which came with bread and knuckle with chestnuts and potatoes. Both dishes were exquisite.
We paid €36 for the two dishes and two drinks, which seemed cheap for the amount we ate.“

“Great drinks, great food, great ambiance on the rooftop with a friendly staff.

Few misc notes:
- Staff speaks English well
- The tiny elevator can only really hold one person (it’s the oldest running private residence elevator?). I’d recommend taking the stairs if you are able, it is only 3 flights
- They accept cash or card
- Rooftop is associated with the hotel+hostel, so folks staying there get one free drink, but this drink is limited to a selection of drinks“

“This place is fantastic! Each dish we got was easily a 10/10. Very flavorful and delicious! The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. We loved it so much we talked about coming back the next day for lunch! Definitely worth a visit.“

“Encontrei este estabelecimento, e fiquei surpreendido muito calmo boa esplanada ambiente agradável funcionários muito simpáticos, vim experimentar comida deles tem muita variedade escolhi uma hambúrguer foi a melhor hambúrguer que ja comi na minha vida, e isto dito por um chefe de cozinha aconselho virem experimentar simplesmente magnifico“

“Piatti vegani gustosissimi. Ottima e forse unica scelta vegana nella zona. Personale gentilissimo, parla inglese. Servizio rapido e preciso. Consigliatissimo.

Vegetarian options: Veggie lovers
Veggie lx tapas
Nachos + guacamole“

“The restaurant serves the most delicious paella, and the fish was delicious and excellent. The staff were very kind and helpful, and even though we arrived a few minutes before closing, they received us and welcomed us with the best service and the most delicious food.“

“In general it has been good service and a very good food.
The downside is that we went with a more open mentality to the restaurant but of course it is a sports bar, so my review is based on what it is and not what we believed.
The food area is very delicious, the hamburger and the CR7 Club (sandwich), perhaps a little expensive for the water (€4) but good.
For a sports bar it is very good, a total of 10 televisions to watch live sporting events, the waiters are super nice and the food is like a sports bar, the only thing I would criticize is the size of the table since it is small.
But for the rest everything is perfect.“

“Full house, quiet group dinner. All requests were satisfied and well served.Good wine, "na te rales" from Alentejo.It is located between 7 rivers and Campolide, in the agricultural bank headquarters building. There is parking very close by, EMEL parking next door, paid until 7pm.“

“Great bifanas made the traditional way. Friendly service and family atmosphere. Small internal space and some tables on the terrace. ATMs are not accepted, cash only. I recommend it, as it is a good option for having steaks with draft wine for lunch.“

“Tailors is a restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere. In addition to snacks, there are other options such as toast, salads or a nail in bread. The price-quality ratio of this restaurant is also very good. On football match days it is usually full as it is a favorite place to watch (it has good televisions).“

“I have a lot of experience in Thai food and I can confirm that this is possibly the best Thai restaurant in Lisbon. Creative and very well prepared dishes. Excellent service and great friendliness from the owners who are usually always present.“

“Charming bistro on the square. Very good sangria (better without too much ice cubes) and food too (hummus, burger, fries, soup and bifana)
Super accommodating to allergies (gluten)
And a special thank you to the waitress with short hair, love!!“

“Fresh fish from Sesimbra grilled with excellence, accompanied by tomato salad, grilled peppers and onion seasoned with love. A family restaurant where friendliness, good taste and care in the art of serving well prevail. Don't forget to try the rice pudding.
Coming back. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing food, lovely ambiance. We had parma ham and cheese to start which was good, and prawn and veal skewers for our mains - these were cooked to perfection! Would definitely recommend. We had to book a table for the evening, as they are usual busy. Our hotel was opposite and it was a popular place to go… it’s a bit tucked away as not on the main strip, which is nice. A bit of a hidden gem!“

“Loved the brunch plate we got here today! It was massive and full of flavour (some might find the scramble a bit salty) and we really enjoyed it. Would be great if they could offer some other vegan options (e.g., the quinoa bowl with tofu or falafel etc) but we would definitely come back! Good service - staff come to the table and take order. 4 rather than 5 stars as limited vegan options (despite them being tasty). Updated from previous review on 2024-10-16“

“We were going with the main idea of ​​going to LX factory, but we noticed this small restaurant nearby, it's like the covers never show the interior, we decided to try it...
Freshly made pica pau, very tasty, the food is fresh, top music... I can say it was a good experience and we will certainly go back.“

“Had a lovely lunch on the terrace. We had the chicken burger, club sandwich and fries together, and they were all very tasty.

We also had a jug of elderflower sangria and I can say with certainty that I have never had such a good (white) sangria. Definitely recommended.“

“I recommend going up to the terrace for its exceptional views (Descubridores Monument, Cristo Rey, yacht club...).

The owner of the establishment, when we finished dinner, was very attentive and attentive to us.

We will return without a doubt!

100% RECOMMENDABLE.“

“En nombre de todos mis compañeros de vida, Mi experiencia en este lugar es sensacional. Hablo desde mi gusto y mi cosmo visión del mundo, las tostas de frango y queiso son las mejores, seguida muy de cerca de las mixtas. Aún no comenté nada sobre las cervezas, pero, aquí estoy escribiendo este mensaje. Gracias de parte de todos. Gran sitio. Buen espacio. Gran servicio.“

“Quiet place outside the hustle and bustle of Lisbon!
The food is very delicious, and you can also see it perfectly while it is being made in the kitchen.
Very friendly and helpful waiters.

We ordered Bacalao Obras and Cod Nata, incredible how delicious it was!

I would repeat without a doubt“

“I didn't take a photo of the vodka because I felt ashamed of having the equivalent of a shot in a large glass with a piece of ice that took up almost the entire glass. I paid €9Plus it was empty and they didn't open the top because they only open it on days when it's full ??‍♀️I am not coming back“

“Walking around XL Factory I looked to see if there was any place that sold açais in the area and I was happy to see that there was a specific one. The experience has been very good. High quality-price ratio. I selected the 2nd size (of the 4 there are), with fruits, peanut butter, chia pudding...All very tasty, nutritious and consistent. Highly recommended for lovers of healthy food and açai in particular.“

“Hunger Station was a gem in Lisbon city’s Bairro Alto area. They sell burgers, kebabs, tacos, pizzas and the typical sides one would expect from a late night takeaway in Europe. We ordered their beef burger and their chicken burger, both of which tasted delicious and were succulent. The vegetables used were fresh and the sauces were really tasty too. I’d recommend Hunger Station in Lisbon!“

“Had dinner last night with 4 people. We enjoyed several starters (oysters, green beans in tempura, cod fritters and potato chips with skin) and main courses (seared tuna with sweet potato purée, cod a bras, golden cod and octopus on a bed of sweet potatoes), all excellent . Really great beer and sangria. The desserts are also tasty (biscuit cake and brownies with caramel). Very friendly and helpful service with tourists. Very pleasant place both inside and outside.
Very recommended.“

“Escolhemos o La Caffé para fazer um lanche para celebrar em família a primeira Comunhão da nossa filha. Foi uma excelente escolha!! Desde da comido à simpatia da Tânia e do chefe de cozinha. Muito acolhedor, parecia que estávamos em casa. Muito obrigada por terem proporcionado este final de tarde tão maravilhoso, neste dia tão especial para nós!!“

“SUD is an excellent restaurant, I chose it for dinner the first night I was in Lisbon and it was the best decision. It is very well decorated, with a night view of the Tejo River, Christ the Redeemer and the other end of Lisbon. Wonderful attention, very good food. I would go again without a doubt.“

“A super nice small place with a few tables on the hill. Definitely our favourite place for a drink or a small bite in Alfama. Service is always friendly, professional, and quick. Tuna-chickpea salad and the portuguese bruschettas are super nice. An extra plus for being able to listen to the Fado music from the next door restaurant. and a plus plus for happy hour (17-19) sangria :D

Vegetarian options: Many different cheese (goat cheese, azores cheese etc) options on salads and sandwiches. Limited on vegan options. If you eat fish there's loads to choose from.“

“(Spanish) We went because we read several reviews that recommended this place and also highlighted several awards it had. And yet, it far exceeded expectations. In life I tried something like the flavor of that octopus. Just as you can see in the photo, the edges were crispy and very juicy, with the combination of the interior texture that was super tender and soft. Truly the best thing I ate in my life. We also ordered the Cod fish which we cut with a fork. The potatoes were thin and crunchy but you could still feel the potato flavor that we love so much. They recommended VilaFlor wine to us, which in addition to being exquisite, does not leave that invasive taste in your throat, which accompanies the food very well. For dessert we ordered the frozen flan (highly recommended) and the tiramisu.
The service is impeccable, the attention is super outstanding and the place is very cozy and gives you that Sunday canteen feeling that we love so much. One of the best experiences.❤️

“Good, good, good. Classy yet simple dishes, excellent location, impeccable service, adequate costs, not too high. We would have returned again if it hadn't been our last evening in Lisbon. The ups and downs of Bairro Alto to get there are a pleasure to tackle.

Vegetarian options: Certainly

Dietary restrictions: To choose

Parking: We arrived on foot and by public transport

Kid-friendliness: Absolutely suitable

Wheelchair accessibility: There are some differences in height“

“Had a talk with Nahid (our waiter) after we finished our food. A very nice guy who treated us very well and was very pleasant!
I can very recommend the Number 11 “Gambas e Mexilhão à la guillo” they come in a very nice vine’ish sauce that tastes incredible! It’s a good place to drink a bottle of wine, because the tram 28E is passing by and the prices are very acceptable for lisbon’s old town!“

“We went for dinner and we really liked it.

The plates are small, but filling, we ordered several things and they were all delicious: boneless chicken, gyozas, fingers, wings and guacamole. With the drink and chips we came out to €15 per person.

We would repeat.“

“The Banana Cafe at Restauradores was a great place to have a coffee and a cold pineapple tea with a tart. It's the kind of place that you can settle into for a good time people watching. Such an eclectic bunch of patrons and passers by. We got fast service, good drinks and food, and a nice little shaded spot to sit for a while.“

“I only now realized that I didn't give my review.
But it will be very short and very truthful.
☆☆☆☆☆ without a doubt!!!!
Friendliness of staff, extremely good food. I really like it and have been back several times.“

“It's the second time I've gone and I like it more each time.... The place is small but that's what makes it much better.... You have many very good cocktails, both the waiters and the owner 10/10

Parking: It is difficult to park, you have to take turns here and there, but in the end you park with patience.“

“Nice place, easy to park outside, good space, good surroundings and good, friendly service, excellent food and starters and it is indeed a place to visit, I didn't take photos which I regret, and I'm not giving 5 stars as I'm not sure what the costs are suitable. Maybe I'll have to come back for a better analysis.“

“A truly unique experience in Lisbon. We arrived here by hearsay but we didn't imagine such a situation. Extraordinary dishes with an excellent combination of tastes. Open kitchen with super friendly staff who work in synergy (the chef is super nice). Very queer friendly location where a wonderful energy hovers. And at the end of the evening you can even get some exercise to digest since they have a disco room with DJ behind it. Really super recommended“

“Great spot to eat, the food was delicious and the staff wonderful. They were very busy but made accommodations to move tables, taught us how to filet a sardine and helped make our short time in Lisbon memorable… Highly recommend it. Great Sangria!“

“Found this place while taking a walk from Belem Tower. Really happy with the food and service. We had a few dishes and they were tasty and warm. The shrimp and croquettes were our favorites. The Sagres beer was also delicious. There are seating options inside and outdoors. Recommended, if you're in the vicinity.“

“Fully agree with Lola's review. Very good (tasty and fresh) sushi, at a very reasonable price. Kemrul, the waiter, made us feel very welcome, and was super helpfull. Only one point less for 'atmosphere' because the terrace is next to a busy road. If time permits, we will be returning here certainly!

Vegetarian options: There are several veggie options available.

Kid-friendliness: Kemrul upgraded our kids' chopsticks DIY style with rubber bands which enabled them to eat on their own!“

“A very atmospheric, beautiful place in the art deco style, a must-see on the itinerary of anyone who has encountered the work of the Portuguese poet Pessoja, but in my opinion everyone will find pleasure in coffee and a sweet or salty snack in this place. I recommend!“
