Cervejaria Ramiro
Chaotic seafood restaurant. If you like smashing crab and shellfish with hammers go here. If you’ve ever been to Tayabs Curry House in East London, it’s similar to this. Loud and full of fish

Pastéis de Belém
The only place to get your Pastéis de Nata. It’s a large, airy bakery cafe offering Portuguese baked goods including tarts & breads. It’s a short way west out of the central Lisbon area but worth the trip

Trobadores – Taberna Medieval
A fun taberna with a medieval twist, it serves affordable dishes including meat, fish and vegetarian options but you must pair it with a mug of mead (honey beer) in a clay chalice, the only way to drink it.
