O Velho Eurico

The 36 Best Restaurants in Lisbon, Portugal | Eater

"On the way to São Jorge Castle, O Velho Eurico appears as if by providence, a cozy pit stop to replenish your energy with excellent Portuguese food, ideally on the charming terrace in the shade of some leafy trees. The old restaurant is now a place of pilgrimage, with the lines and sold out reservations for weeks to prove it. The menu is in the hands of young cook Zé Paulo Rocha, part of a new generation of Lisbon’s rising chefs, who have worked to move the dining scene forward. Expect traditional items made with a hint of modernity, like the excellent octopus carolino rice, pig head and white beans, bread pudding with beer caramel, and much more from a menu that changes daily." - Rafael Tonon
