Experiencing fado, a type of Portuguese song, is high on the list of to-dos in every Lisbon…read moreguidebook. Having experienced fado outside of Portugal I didn't feel strongly that it was a must-do, but when I found myself at night on the street that is known for fado I prioritized it. For the best fado experience I recommend an intimate space, hopefully crowded with people but also with a view to the performers. Tasca do Chico is exactly that place. The doorman told us that space was standing room only, at the (tiny) bar. From there we could see and hear the performers while ordering food and drink. We'd not been there long before we were offered an available seat at a table which caused us to order more food and drink and stay a little longer. The fado here is quite good, made even more enjoyable as the artists change quite frequently; a song or two and a new artist steps forward, all very talented and enjoyable to watch and hear. The fado places tend to have lines out the door and a doorman managing entry. A place across the street looked much bigger but the intimacy is, in my opinion, what makes the experience both unique and special. Even if you have to start at the bar, Tasca do Chico is a great place to experience fado.

The only downside of this place was the wait , nearly an hour to get into the bar and another 20…read moreminutes before we were seated (they do have a minimum spend per person for the table). On the bright side, I met some new friends in line, and honestly, it was worth it even though I hoped the wait was shorter. The drinks and performances were incredible and exceeded my expectations. It's a small place so the performances felt very intimate, what a memorable night! Just a heads up: they only take cash, so don't make the same mistake I did. Cheers!

After seeing the photos and menu my husband and I came here for lunch on our last day in Lisbon. This cute little tapas restaurant was located only 8 minute walk from our hotel. We ordered swordfish ceviche, tuna tartare, cheese board and seared foie gras on a toast. Our server explained the details of each dish that sounded so delicious. And every dish tasted great, especially we didn't expect to have such delicious foie gras in Lisbon. It's one of our favorite dishes but unfortunately we can't get it in California. We started eating swordfish ceviche and tuna tartare before taking photos. They also had Monkey 47 gin which is my husband's favorite gin. My sangria tasted perfect for me. Excellent service. We were glad that we had a chance to dine here before heading home.

The entrance is roped out - when you try to get in, one of the staff members comes out to explain the 'rule'...basically two food items per person is required (requested), so you cannot come here just for beverages. There were lots of yummy tapas dishes described on the blackboard, but I definitely enjoyed my selection - well, thanks to the helpful staff to make my decision. Both seared tuna and boiled shrimp were excellent, and perfect afternoon snack for me!

Watching the chefs in their element preparing the dishes was so cool; for such a tight space, they were a well-oiled machine. Here were my favorites: 1. The tomato soup with egg. So, so simple, with only two main ingredients, but perfectly executed. I'll need to try making this at home with the immersion blender. 2. Pan con tomato with jamón ibérico. I'm sitting here writing this review and crying a little on the inside that we in the States don't have such easy access to quality ingredients to make such a stand-out dish. Grilled bread, tomato spread, and the best jamón I've ever tasted. This was an order we added at the very end and I'm glad we did. 3. The sweet rice pudding with cinnamon ice cream and toasted rice krispies on top. I was almost too full to function by this point but still made room to demolish this dessert. We also got the grouper stew, which was pretty good, but at that point, I had basically gotten the same dish multiple times and this one didn't particularly stand out. Definitely make reservations! There are two seats on the street but I personally wouldn't want to sit there as there's a ton of foot traffic in the area (plus the cars drive pretty close too so you're also breathing in fumes and exhaust). A perfect dinner in Lisbon: oysters at Rosamar one street over and then some tapas and drinks at Tapisco.

The tapas are innovative, flavorful but true to both Spanish and Portuguese cuisine. Our favorites tonight were the tuna tartare, mussels, roasted pork with purred eggplant and veggies.

The choco frito had a light batter on top and you could tell it was really fresh because it was so light and bouncy. The bolinhos de bacalhau were also a highlight; creamy potato filling with codfish mixed in. The asparagus and jamon with scrambled eggs provided a nice balance to our meal. I'm always a sucker for well made scrambled eggs. My favorite dish by far was the arroz de pato. It was packed with smoked duck flavor, and accented with charred sausage and bacon on top. The dishes were on the smaller end, so we ended up getting 5-6 dishes for three people.

This was our first stop on a food tour in downtown Lisbon. We started with a small beer. Our tour guide ordered everything and she said the sausage is paired well with the cheese and indeed was really good! The bifana sandwich is pork but called bifana because of the cut of meat. It looks plain but when it's fresh on soft bread goes well with honey mustard and Peri peri sauce for spice. We were staying close by and came back to order sandwiches but came during a time the workers were taking a break and eating. I later came back and the bifana alone for take out was super cheap. We wish we could have gotten it every day. There's little seating inside and there's typical outdoor dining where you can people watch while enjoying your refreshing beer and feeling the breeze and seeing the blue skies. I would recommend this place if you're in the area just for a quick snack!

Got here right after the rush, so by the time I ordered, there were only 2-3 customers left. Got draft beers, support local. And a bottled local IPA as I needed something stronger. Ambiance - Indoor and outdoor seating. Beautiful day, but weird weather as it was both hot and cold. Outdoor heat lamps and blankets available if needed. Clean toilets. Service - I think our waiter was new, he struggled serving us. Well, he just struggled... But once I got my first beer, I was much more patient, lol. It would have been a 5 star review if the waiter was NOT so new and slow. I had to flag him down a few times and he still forgot.... Price - 7.30 Euros; $8.50 US. Inexpensive.
