    Tavares Rico

    Tavares is the fairest with its all-gold 18th-century interior lit by chandeliers. Signature dishes such as scallops with Alentejo bacon are beautifully cooked, artfully presented and marry well with Portuguese wines.

    Sancho

    Amid dark wood furnishings and a beamed ceiling, this place serves excellent fish and seafood. Look for the wooden Sancho (Quixote's sidekick) out front.

    Gambrinus

    Since opening in the 1930s, this wood-panelled beer hall (named after the patron saint of brewing) has been serving the best seafood in Lisbon. Book ahead to savour delicacies like steamed clams and shellfish bisque, rounded out with vintage port. Service is discreet, the crowd dressy.
