"A riverside Cais das Pedras restaurant where chef Vasco Coelho Santos focuses on grill and open-fire cooking; recommended dishes include tarte de chalota (shallots with balsamic on buttery puff pastry), arroz de costela mendinha (oven-fired rice with slow-cooked sirloin), and pescada com pil-pil e cogumelos (golden-skinned hake in a creamy garlicky sauce with mushrooms), with a must-order rabanada for dessert—crispy and cinnamony outside, custardy inside—served with goat’s-milk ice cream." - ByMiguel Andrade
