This family-owned fado house has been in the same hands since 1955 and has hosted many fine fadistas over the years. Current resident performers are Aina Santos, Natalino de Jésus, Fernando Sousa and Alzira de Sá. The minimum spend applies at any time and there are €49 fixed menus - it may sound a lot, but don't forget you're paying for the show too.

  • Chiado/Cais do Sodré

To general unhappiness, this small twenty-first century tavern stopped taking reservations on its second day of operation, a few yeark back. And since that day the queues line up at the door for both lunch and dinner. During the day, you can try traditional recipes like the meia-desfeita (cod salad with chickpeas); at night, go for a series of dishes and tapas that chef André Magalhães and his entourage invent every day with what the season, and the producers (many of them near Lisbon), bring him. Perfect for: introducing a friend to great Portuguese food.Must try: the iscas com elas – just go for it.

Time Out Market Lisbon
  • Restaurants
  • Cais do Sodré

É um mercado do século XIX que começou por se chamar Mercado da Ribeira Nova e o povo, espantado por ver uma cúpula num mercado hortícola, chamava-lhe Mesquita do Nabo. As bancas com produtos frescos continuam a funcionar numa das alas, mas desde 2014 que este espaço se tornou o espelho da revista Time Out Lisboa, aqui representada em três dimensões. O Time Out Market Lisboa tem uma selecção dos melhores restaurantes da cidade, bares,  espaços comerciais e uma sala de espectáculos.
