Esperança da Sé

Although the scene is improving, there are still not that many good pizza places in Lisbon. Esperança da Sé, an offshoot of a similarly named restaurant in the Bairro Alto, is among the select few. It is simple but pleasant, especially in summer,when they set tables outside on the pavement. Another bonus is the green olives included in the couvert. They make for a fine introduction to the house specialities: thin-crust pizzas and risottos.
