  • 1. Fialho

    $$$

    The charming elderly owner, Amor Fialho, is the third generation of Fialhos to operate this popular restaurant. He has handed off daily operations to his children, Helena and Rui, but he's still present most evenings in the kitchen, and has been known to give foreign visitors a tour, pointing out photos of the former Spanish king's visit. The dining room, with a beamed ceiling and painted plates hung on its walls, is regularly packed on weekends, and reservations are essential. Fialho's renowned specialties are borrego assado (roasted lamb) and perdiz à convento da cartuxa (roast partridge with potatoes and carrots), made according to a recipe from a nearby monastery.

  • 2. Tasquinha do Oliveira

    $$

    The charming husband-and-wife duo of Manuel and Carolina Oliveira own and operate this tiny upscale dining room with huge taste. There are only 14 seats in the entire restaurant, creating the atmosphere of a family dining room. The tiny size makes reservations essential, and the restaurant is frequently booked solid on Friday and Saturday nights. Specialties include lamb, pork, and game dishes, created by Carolina in the open kitchen and served with a flourish by Manuel.

    Opposite the fountain on Praça do Giraldo, Café Arcada is a local institution open since the 1940s. The large hall now features a newspaper stand, a bakery, a wine shop and a restaurant. Tables on the square are just the place from which to watch the city on parade. Try the queijadas (cakes made with fresh cheese).

    A few minutes from Igreja de São Francisco you'll find this pastry shop specializing in regional sweets. Set in a small house between two cobblestone streets, it stands out with its green doors and terra-cotta roof. Inside, traditional Portuguese tiles decorate the walls, but it's hard to look away from the sweets displayed behind the glass counter. The specialty is pão de rala, a delicious cake combining egg yolks, almonds, sugar, and lemon zest.

  • 6. Taberna Típica Quarta-Feira

    $$

    The street lights will guide you to this family-run tavern in the heart of the city. Exposed brick adds warmth to the intimate dining room, which can accommodate only 28 people. With no menu in sight, you have to trust the chef. The host brings you a continuous parade of dishes and keeps your wine glass brimming. While the recipes change daily, the centerpiece is always the juicy black pork.
