🇵🇹 Lisbon Eats | 4.9-Rated Gems Under €20! 💎
Portugal, Spain, and Italy form Europe’s holy trinity of food—and Lisbon is Portugal’s undisputed culinary capital! The city is packed with 4.5+ rated restaurants (no fake reviews here!). Here are my personally tested, delicious yet affordable finds: 1️⃣ Enora Restaurant (Google 4.5 ⭐) 📍 R. do Telhal 8A 🍽️ Must-order: Polvo à Lagareiro (Portuguese octopus) This unassuming spot hides next-level octopus—tender (no rubbery texture!), bathed in rich sauce, and plated like art. 🎨 Downside: Portions are petite (order bread!). Upside: An 8-minute walk to Miradouro da Senhora do Monte for sunset views! 🌅 2️⃣ Bessa Restaurante (Google 4.8 ⭐) 📍 R. dos Douradores 210 🍽️ Must-order: Arroz de Marisco (seafood rice) Don’t judge by the plastic tablecloths—this humble bowl hides soul-warming perfection: rice soaked in briny broth, with succulent octopus and shrimp. 🦐 Unlike Spanish paella, it’s uniquely Portuguese—comfort food at its finest! 3️⃣ Breakfast Lovers (Google 4.9 ⭐) 📍 Calçada do Combro 45 🍽️ Must-order: Spicy Avocado Toast + Iced Latte How does a place keep 4.9 with 5,000+ reviews? Arrive by 8:30 AM to skip lines. Their signature toast (spicy kick + creamy avocado) + cold brew = brunch bliss. ☕ Avoid mediocre desserts—stick to eggs Benedict! 4️⃣ The Folks (Google 4.7 ⭐) 📍 R. de São Bento 51 🍽️ Must-order: Pistachio Latte (half-sugar!) + Mushroom Benedict A global Top 100 café for good reason! The nutty latte smells like heaven, and the Benedict (with earthy mushrooms) is next-level. 🍄 💰 All under €20/person! #LisbonEats #PortugalFood #BudgetFoodie #TravelBites
