Centro FAQs
Right now, O Empório holds the top spot. They've earned it with solid comfort food and a well-chosen craft beer list, making for a reliably good experience. You won't leave disappointed.
For a straightforward drink, Cheers bar Ericeira is a recent entry on the list and a decent option. If you're after something a bit more substantial with your drink, Sr Tigre Lounge & Tapas Bar offers a good selection of tapas alongside their bar menu.
You'll find plenty of traditional Portuguese fare, especially seafood at places like Dom Bilas Ericeira or Ribas. There's also good Italian at Basílico Trattoria and gastropub options like O Empório, so it's not all just grilled fish.
Certainly. Mar das Latas Wine & Food offers a more intimate setting with a good wine selection, making it a solid choice. For something a bit less formal but still quality, LAB provides an interesting menu in a modern space.
For good value, you can't beat a traditional tasca. Places like Tasquinha dos Pescadores offer generous portions of local dishes for around €15-€20 a main. No Largo há Tasca is another good bet for an honest meal without breaking the bank.
This month saw O Empório climb to #1, a new peak for them. Mar das Latas Wine & Food made a significant jump, up 7 spots to #3, and we welcomed Cheers bar Ericeira as a new entry at #8. Petiscaria Âncora and 5 e meio - TapRoom also hit new peaks.
