Casa Agrícola

Boavista


Abutting a chapel, this beautifully restored, 18th-century rural house is a splash of historic charm in an otherwise modern neighbourhood. The 1st-floor restaurant exudes old-world sophistication, with its polished-wood floor, bistro seating and chandeliers. It's an intimate choice for Portuguese flavours such as monkfish cataplana (stew). The more informal cafe-bar downstairs has a happy hour from 4pm to 8pm.
