Cervejaria do Carmo

Aliados & Bolhão


With around 100 types of beer sourced from Portuguese and international producers, you won’t go thirsty at this boutique watering hole. Better still, it’s located directly across the road from the jaw-droppingly beautiful Igreja do Carmo (decked head-to-toe in blue and white azulejo tiles). Choose from eight tap beers or let the staff suggest a bottle from the fridge.

You’ll find some typical Portuguese pub grub on the menu, such as cachorros (hot dogs) and alheira (light, garlicky sausage of poultry or game).
