Adega de São Roque

The wooden deck terrace outside this typical Portuguese restaurant provides a delightfully al fresco lunch setting on one of Lisbon's most attractive streets. The food is traditional, the menu listing a decent selection of meat and fish dishes, with house specials for two persons comprising seafood plates such as squid cataplana with clams. Alternatively, order soup and salad if you don't want to fill yourself up. When the weather's playing up, a table inside will reveal Adega de São Roque's true colours, in fact dozens of them. The interior is a veritable shrine to football, with shirts, scarves and pennants from Portuguese and European clubs festooning the walls and ceilings. The restaurant also pays homage to Portuguese culture, especially fado and bullfighting, with prints, mementoes and artefacts adding to the decoration that provide a wonderfully traditional atmosphere at night.
