Estorias na Casa da Comida

For over 42 years this restaurant has maintained a reputation as one of the most prestigious in the city, indeed Portugal. Tucked away in a quiet residential street in one of Lisbon's leafier neighbourhoods, its low-key profile belies the many gastronomy awards bestowed upon the kitchen, and its patronage by an appreciative local and international clientele. Chef João Pereira consistently raises the culinary bar with his inventive take on traditional Portuguese cuisine. He'll very often leave the kitchen and greet diners during the course of the evening in a wonderfully personal gesture. Sommelier Ricardo Morais brings to the fore his considerable expertise in pairing the wines. The setting is romantic and quite beautiful, the inviting interior exuding an upscale homestyle ambiance.
