What Appricio would tell you to do in Lisbon

Restaurant · Rossio / Baixa

A Tendinha do Rossio

Lisbon's oldest running taberna, open since 1840 — narrow, time-worn, serving quick petiscos and shrimp croquettes to locals who've been coming their whole lives.

Restaurant · Lisbon

Gancho

Time Out Portugal's best new restaurant of 2025 — chef Louise Bourrat's follow-up project that earned the city's attention for precise, personal cooking rather than trend-chasing.

A tiny tiled former chapel in Alfama where fado is still sung for its own sake — the antidote to staged tourist dinner shows.

Bar · Bairro Alto

Toca da Raposa

Constança Cordeiro's intimate cocktail bar built around foraged and seasonally sourced Portuguese ingredients — drinks named after animals, a pink limestone bar, and a menu that shifts with the seasons.
