Tasca da Esquina

Príncipe Real, Santos & Estrela


Headed by celebrated chef Vitor Sobral, the 'tavern on the corner' serves rich and inventive dishes featuring classic Portuguese ingredients. It's a small place in cool and contained Campo de Ourique, with a sizzling grill in front and a cheery sunroom where well-dressed diners fill the tables most days.

Petiscos (tapas) and multicourse tasting menus are good ways to sample a variety of dishes. Sundays pack 'em in for Sobral's take on cozida à portuguesa (meat stew; 12.30pm to 6pm).
