Portugal

Lisbon

Sardines, custard tarts, sun-soaked simplicity.

Irene Koo, editor

A note from the editor

I love how Lisbon is such a quaint city, filled with mom & pop restaurants tucked into small alleys behind buildings older than most of us. But the hilly terrain makes these gems hard to discover on the go, and hard to rank once found. Skip the unnecessary climbs and refuel with the most authentic bites, courtesy of our guide.
