Tucked behind a red door opposite the parliament, this cozy spot serves up Lisbon’s legendary steak with a warm vibe and friendly service.
"Located near the national parliament, Café de São Bento is the place to go for late-night dining or any time of day you’re desperate for an old-school steak. The meat is served grilled or fried, with chips (or french fries), signature sauce, and esparregado (spinach puree). The service is amiable, while the room is stuffed with red sofas and dark wood furniture, a classic mix of decadence and elegance. It all pairs perfectly with the throwback character of the food." - Rafael Tonon, Miguel Pires
"Opposite the Portuguese parliament is a little red door on Rua de São Bento where you have to ring the doorbell and wait until someone lets you in. Once inside, you’ll see the color red is a major player in the decoration, similar to their famous medium rare steak that’s been bringing locals back to this spot for the past 40 years. Add a side of their creamed spinach, and definitely finish your meal with the tarte tatin. This is a great spot for people watching, since it’s a popular place for politicians to celebrate the deals they just sealed across the street. " - rita geraldes
