Carmo Restaurante & Bar

Light meals as deliciously simple as fluffy scrambled egg with asparagus to more ambitious plates such as grilled Iberian pork with mushroom risotto define the menu at this rather snazzy, upscale eatery. The restaurant is housed in premises that once housed an interior design salon, and the current proprietors admirably uphold the aesthetics, using printed wallpaper and contemporary furnishings to decorate an interior whose look is best described as understated chic. Several interconnecting dining rooms provide ample space, with one of the corridors crammed floor to ceiling with wines from across Portugal. Table service is super efficient, with the busy waiting staff always finding time to explain the food (including decent vegetarian options) and drink on offer, including some great cocktails.
