Condé Nast has unveiled its favorite restaurants in Lisbon

Portugal is in fashion, it is not new. Lisbon is one of the most popular cities in Europe, apart from novelties. Portuguese food is one of the best in the world, everyone knows it. But there are still new things that make us develop our self-esteem even more. After receiving four more stars at the Michelin Gala in Ibérica, the magazine Condé Nast chose Wednesday, November 21, the 20 best restaurants in Lisbon.

"A new contingent of chefs, both local and international, is creating a new typically Portuguese and modern cuisine landscape," writes Jenna Scatena, author of the article published on November 13. "Add some Douro wine, a rocky coast and historic forts and you will not want to eat anything," he adds.

Condé Nast also said that there had never been so many good restaurants in Lisbon, mainly due to the exponential growth of the economy and tourism in recent years. Among the list of restaurants elected by Condé Nast, there are some Michelin stars – like the two stars Alma, from Henrique Sá Pessoa – and other more traditional ones.

1. Prado, chef António Galopita.

"Every dish is cooked to perfection; even something as simple as a toast with smoked bacon with apple florina can steal the scene."

"Space brings part of your big brother [o Restaurante Sal, na Comporta] while offering a modern vision of maritime cooking. "

3. The temple of gastronomy, the chef Alice Ming.

6. Fishing, Chief Diogo Noronha.

"The Pesca restaurant achieves one of the greatest successes of the gastronomic world: making seafood photogenic."

7. Tapisco, chef Henrique Sá Pessoa.

"Initially, the door attracts pedestrians, but it's the menu and the ambience – as well as the luxury lounge lounge with red leather armchairs and armchairs – that make them stay."

8. The Watt, Chief Kiko.

"Here, the decor reflects the healthy slope of the kitchen, with light wood floors, a full palette of shades of green and plenty of natural light thanks to the glass ceiling"

9. Taberna da Rua das Flores, Chief André Magalhães.

"In this classic tavern are prepared traditional dishes with fresh ingredients prepared with a variety of traditional and contemporary methods"

10. Pharmacia.

"The sumptuous facade of this former mansion creates an excellent first impression – it's a fun and daring place to start the evening."

"Lobster, shrimp – the shrimp of the Algarve is a must – and the crabs are perfectly cooked and served at the pound."

12. JNCQUOI, Chief António Bóia.

"A replica of a T-Rex welcomes guests, but the rest of the restaurant is a mix of an old world and new, overlooking the avenue. [da Liberdade].

18. Chutnify.

"The facade of Chutnify can be unpretentious (it is in a quiet residential street of the Royal Prince), but make no mistake – the food of southern India impresses."

19. Bon-Bao.
