8 Best Steakhouses in Lisbon


 

Portugal is famous for its delicious dishes prepared with the most varied flavours, accompanied with some good and unforgettable sauces. As a Portuguese, I speak for myself and my advice for you is to taste the most deliciously prepared Portuguese meat dishes.

The Portuguese tradition passes through many kinds of dishes. The coastline area, near the sea, is used to eat the flavours of the sea, from sardines to codfish (Bacalhau), there are many fishes and kinds of clam which are tasteful. The inside of Portugal is used to eat more what they raise on their lands (cattle): cow, chicken and pork.

So, it’s only reasonable when you come to Portugal to taste “two sides of the same coin”. Here are some of the chosen restaurants to taste the most delicious steak in Lisbon!

1. C.O.W Beef & Cocktails

C.O.W opened in Santos over 3 years ago and it’s well centred in the “steakhouse business”. It’s a specialist in meat and serves the best cocktails. You can find there a good ambiance with a low light and cleaned space for you to enjoy the food.
There are some well thought decorations in the restaurant. In one of the walls you can find an illustration of a cow and the various parts of the cow and the meat cuts.
It’s well located, in a youth area full of fun!

2. Byf Steakhouse

BYF is another steakhouse which is different from the usual. It prepares the beef cuts in a special way which makes the meat tender. You can accompany your steak with some sauces: mushroom, blue cheese, bearnese or even 3 peppers. Always choose a sauce to make the meat more tasteful. There are also side dishes for you to taste with the beef. There are side dishes for all the tastes but my favourite is mashed sweet potatoes and crumbs or mashed spinach (spinach make us stronger!).
BYF steakhouse is in Saldanha, also a centred area in Lisbon which you can reach by metro.

4. Atalho Real

Atalho Real is located in the famous Embaixada (Palacete Ribeiro da Cunha) in Príncipe Real. It has a pretty view to Jardim Botânico de Lisboa.

During winter, you’ll be inside the building, in one of the vintage rooms they have. During summer, this situation changes radically. The terrace is open for you to enjoy your dinner among the trees.

When you choose your steak at Atalho Real, don’t forget to ask for a good Portuguese red wine to accompany (ask for the advice of the waitress to choose it).
