Santa Clara dos Cogumelos

Alfama, Castelo & Graça


Mushroom fans unite! This Italian-owned, Italian-executed restaurant in the old Campo de Santa Clara market hall is simply magic. The menu devotes proper patronage to the humble cogumelo (mushroom). The organic shiitake à bulhão pato (with garlic and coriander), porcini risotto with black trumpets, orange peel, rosemary and walnuts, and the porcini ice cream with glazed chestnuts are all outstanding.
