1. A typical French bistro

The house is extremely cozy, a typical French bistro with windows that guarantee natural light, delicate little curtains, decoration rich in details and impeccable service. We suggest the Duck with the reduced wine sauce with cream, the shrimp gnocchi with truffled sauce, plus the lamb carré, which is spectacular. For dessert, Crème Brulee.

3. One of the best Italian Restaurants in the city

Contemporary restaurant, an Italian urban gourmet bistro for those who want comfort and tasty food. If you like very tasty Pomodoro Sauce, Duck Confit that melts in your mouth, Pasta em Casa is a great option. Intimate and cozy, considered one of the best Italian restaurants in the city, it offers options with very nice prices. One of them is the “Ilha de Massas”, a tasting menu of three kinds of the pasta of the day, served for appreciation, and you can freely repeat.

The wine list is great, the beers are very cold, and the drinks are signed by the great Márcio Silva (@marciojs). Choose the cheese, parma ham and Turkish figs Fagottini from Pasta, or the Fettuccine with pesto and a glass of red wine: a classic to harmonize lunch or dinner. Other great suggestions are: the oxtail casserole on the lunch menu, unpretentious food, with lots of flavor to be shared, or fillet tagliata with arugula and little tomatoes confit.

Spanish food, in the city’s most bohemian neighborhood, in a super charming restaurant, with delicious dishes and friendly service. Going to La Taperia in Rio Vermelho is like going to dinner at a friend’s house, where you feel comfortable and know it’s going to be fun and amusing.

Juli Holler & José Morchon opened La Taperia in 2012, in Rio Vermelho, to serve all those who love good food. Many customers became new friends and La Taperia was getting more and more popular because of the owners’ sympathy. The restaurant has different environments, which makes it suitable for a meeting with friends as well as for a romantic dinner or with family.

Don’t forget to try the octopus with potatoes and paprika and a sangria of cava to go with. Delicious! Keep an eye on the “Tapas do Dia” menu, as there are always some interesting options such as the tasty Tartar of Tuna with avocado, the Oysters au gratin or the langoustines in bifun lollipops, with wasabi alioli.

The place has 50 Portuguese wines labels. There are no drinks or beer, only wines, water and soda. The cuisine is made up of typical Lusitanian dishes. The menu is usually fixed, but allows co-creations between the chef and the client.
