Tagide

Recommended by Michelin, one of the city's finest gourmet hotspots also affords quite possibly the best view of downtown Lisbon from any restaurant terrace. Needless to say, this appealing combination of taste and aesthetics places Tágide in the top tier of romantic dining venues, a reputation it has enjoyed for over thirty years. Housed in an elegantly styled 18th-century building, the restaurant seats up to 100 guests and the most intimate tables are those set out on the verandah (tables by the window are quickly snapped up). The menu, conceived by chef Gonçalo Costa acknowledges traditional Portuguese cuisine and regional flavours to produce dishes like sautéed cuttlefish with cucumber and clam rice. The Tágide Tapas & Wine bar, located on the ground floor, offers a more informal dining experience, where guests can enjoy an imaginative range of tasty tapas and appetisers. If the mood takes you, pause here for aperitifs beforehand.
