Lisbon RestaurantsDo you fancy a fantastic meal? Great! So do I! The Lisbon
Restaurants page will show where to find one! This happens because for us cooking is indeed a form of art. We like to take time with our food. No rush, great meals! If you like fast-food, you better go to a Shopping Center where it will be easier to find lots of fast-food resturants. Of course, you can always find some McDonald's throughout the city. But if are in the mood to experience great gastronomy then stay out of the fast food and enter a world of possibilities.  I can honestly say that you can have a decent meal in
almost
restaurants in our city. Maybe, you should avoid the smaller ones because some are good and some are awful. You have to know them very well, because even when they're ok, I would probably only advise some dishes. Know what I mean? Lots of oil with the fried potatoes and stuff like that... But, at the same time, some of these smaller places, called tascas are an amazing experience of good food served with simplicity. No fancy stuff to tourists but great taste. And if you want to really get to know the lisbon people where they are more genuine, you got to try a tasca at least once. What should I try?Sea food (Marisco) is one of our specialities!In fact, considering all Europe this must be the best capital to taste some great fresh sea food! Another speciality,greatly appreciate by the portuguese people and our visitors is the Cod (Bacalhau). They say that are more than a thousand ways to cook Cod. It is so tradicional that everybody here eats cod in the Christmas Eve. The Caldeirada is another thing to try. The caldeirada contains a great variety of fish. When it was originaly created by the fragateiros that sailed the fragatas up and down the Tagus (Rio Tejo), it contain wathever fish they could catch. Some days you would have some kind of fish mixture and the other day another one. Always a surprise!
