It's no exaggeration to say that some of the best meals that your humble guide compiler has ever eaten in his life were in Portugal - famed for their seafood as well as their steaks, there are some fantastic restaurants to be found in the Portuguese capital.
The Barrio Alto, and the streets to the south of Rossio Square, are littered with more restaurants, bars and cafés than you can shake a stick at. Have a wander round these central districts and take your pick from the cuisine on offer - you won't regret it.
Main Drinking Areas
The Barrio Alto (High Neighbourhood) is perched on a hill in Lisbon city centre, but it is here that you'll find the densest concentration of the city's nightspots. It's well worth the climb.
Irish & English Pubs
If you head down to the riverside, by Cais do Sodré Metro station you'll find a couple of Lisbons Irish bars. Both within spitting distance of the metro, you can take your pick between O'Gillins on Rua dos Remolares or Hennesey's on Cais do Sodré. Both provide that little bit of home away from home.
A little further away from the city centre, in the shadows of the Ponte 25 de Abril by Alcantra Mar Metro is the Celtas and Iberos Irish pub.
