Bairro Alto, Chiado & Cais do Sodré
From its latest and far more prominent location on pretty Praça Dom LuÃs, the not-to-be-missed 'cut room' dishes out succulent, perfectly seasoned imported beef in six cuts (entrecôte, picanha, sirloin, chateaubriand etc). These are chargrilled in a small, world-class Josper grill/oven hybrid, then prepped and beautifully presented on wooden planks in an intimate open kitchen.
When you're sick of seafood, run here – but not without a reservation!
