If you’re still not familiar with Chinese gastronomy in Lisbon, you should know that the city has a good variety of Chinese restaurants that offer their customers a true and authentic experience of this Asian cuisine.
From the most popular dishes such as Chicken with Almonds and Fried Rice to regional specialties such as Cantonese Dim Sum or Sichuan Hot Pot, in these Chinese restaurants you’ll taste the best the city has to offer.
In these spaces, where the atmosphere is always vibrant and the traditional decor immediately takes you back to China, Chinese restaurants in Lisbon and the surrounding area are an excellent option for those looking for a meal with an oriental touch, with dishes that are always authentic and tasty.
1 – The Old House
This restaurant in Parque das Nações specializes in the cuisine of the Sichuan region, one of the most popular in China and also… one of the spiciest .
If you like intense flavors, loaded with peppers and chillies, there’s plenty to choose from here.
But there’s no shortage of milder dishes either, such as the unmissable Peking duck, one of the house specialties.
Carefully decorated with red lanterns, porcelain pots and Chinese paintings, it offers a sophisticated and intimate atmosphere, especially in the private rooms and more reserved areas.
Address: Rua da Pimenta 9 (Parque das Nações)
2 – Mr. Lu
What started out as a clandestine restaurant on Rua do Benformoso has become one of the most famous Chinese restaurants in the capital, this time in Arroios.
All the credit goes to Zhiaming Lu, the master of Chinese gastronomy, who has made a point (and rightly so) of keeping the original menu, based on traditional recipes.
This one invites you to try intense, spicy dishes. Among the most popular are the Lamb with Cumin and the Fish with Sweet and Sour Sauce.
Address: Rua António Pedro 95 (Arroios)
3 – Estoril Mandarin
Okay, this restaurant isn’t in Lisbon, but it’s well worth a trip to Estoril, which isn’t far away either.
Next to the casino gardens you’ll find authentic Chinese fine dining, perhaps the best and most luxurious in the country in this category. Of course, the prices also match the quality of the dishes and the service.
Dim sum (lunch only), Peking duck, Siu-Mai (with crab roe on top) and Há-Kau are some of the most famous dishes on the extensive menu.
Address: Avenida Dr. Stanley Ho (Estoril)
4 – Grand Palace Hong Kong
It’s no coincidence that the Chinese living in Portugal love this restaurant in the Arroios district, which specializes in Cantonese cuisine.
If you’re also a fan of authentic Chinese food, you really must stop by Arroios to try the specialties of this restaurant.
The Dim Sum, Shark Fin Ravioli and Cantonese Duck are always safe choices.
Address: Rua Pascoal de Melo 8A (Arroios)
5 – Dim Sum Cantonese Restaurant
At this restaurant in Oeiras, there is room for many people and all kinds of wallets. It’s ideal for group dinners, where all your friends will fit.
With very affordable prices, Dim Sum has been conquering the bellies of people from Oeiras and Lisbon.
From their huge menu, where everything is delicious, we suggest you try the Prawn Dumplings with Chinese Cabbage, the Steamed Scallops with Garlic and the Vietnamese Crepes.
Address: Rua Coro de Santo Amaro de Oeiras 8D (Oeiras)
