Gourmet Wining & Dining in Lisbon, Portugal

items Lisbon's a great place to visit, with a lot of food and wine choices, but Portugal isn't known for its food. After several visits, we've discovered these great food and wine spots, some on the beaten track and some off it, which we go back to every time we're in town.

By the time you leave these spots, you'll be a Portuguese wine and Port lover.
This popular wine bar is not only one of my favorite Lisbon haunts. It also made my world faves list. We discovered it on our first trip to Lisbon. Of the five nights we spent in Lisbon, we went there three times. We went back again the next two time... The food was excellent, and appropriate for a wine bar (secondary to the wine). From our seats we could watch some of the kitchen activity and admire the ham legs hanging from their hooves. Some of that tasty ham ended up on our charcuterie board. We especially loved the lusciously soft and delicious Monte da Vinha cheese. I've tried to find it in the U.S. Alas, no luck. Another favorite was the Pica-Pau de Lombelo (Steak bites with with the Massa de Pimentao Sauce). Check out my attempt to duplicate this dish: Portuguese Faves: Steak & Potato Bites with Massa De Pimentao Sauce.
