The city
Beyond tram 28: the Lisbon of the Lisboetas.
Lisbon is a city of steep streets, viewpoints and small doors hiding great kitchens. The most famous areas are getting more and more crowded with tourists, and finding an authentic taberna or a café where locals have breakfast takes the right tip. On BeLocal, that tip comes from people who've been there.
Tabernas, home cooking.
At Taberna da Esperança, in Santos, the night went so well that after closing we took the waiters out with us
. Taberna dos Clérigos, towards São Vicente, is a gem
: the moment we walked in we wouldn't have given it a chance, and instead it was a lovely surprise,
with really lovely owners
and fish only. At Taberna Carolina, in Chiado, the food is good, but the sangria is better
.
For drinks, between Graça and Bairro Alto.
Vino Vero, in Graça, is an Italian-run spot with a huge wine selection and a bartender who talks you through it
: perfect for a date or a laid-back after-dinner drink
. In Santos, at Sabor a Santos, there are pastel de nata shots
. And for dinner with a big group of friends, Cantina do Bairro Alto piles your plate with food,
with great service
.
Small places, big finds.
At WIM – Where I Met Your Mother, the sandwich is genuinely a 10 out of 10
. At pastelaria Carrocel, towards Estrela, you spend little and it's very local
. And when you need a break, Praça das Flores is simply the chill spot
.
Why a friend beats a ranking.
In Lisbon, the best places are often the smallest ones — the ones no guidebook has found yet. On BeLocal they're flagged by the people who've been there: save them for your next trip and follow people who know the city.
