Restaurante Conqvistador — Restaurant in Lisbon

Conqvistador may appear to be a typical tourist restaurant, located right next to the Castle. However, it does not suffer from the usual shortcomings of tourist places: the food here is truly good. I have tried octopus, a Portuguese specialty, at several restaurants in Lisbon, including expensive and high-end ones. I can confidently say that the octopus at Conqvistador was the best among all. We enjoyed a bottle of Portuguese Albariño, which was fresh, crispy and nice. There were street musicians adding to the ambiance, and the overall experience was simply perfect.

As the place started to be empty, we stood up and said we needed to leave since we were waiting for 45 mins for the “soup of the day”. The waiter said he didn’t understand we ordered the soup and said sorry.
