Bairro Alto, Chiado & Cais do Sodré
Although located in the heart of one of the most touristy areas of Lisbon, this restaurant is frequented by both locals and visitors, who come for the meat-focused recipes of the Paiva family. The house beef with queijo da serra (a mountain cheese), a juicy pork tenderloin and veal ribeye are carnivorous standouts.
It's ideal for dinner before an evening bar-hopping in Bairro Alto.
