Lisbon allows you to travel the world without leaving the city. All you have to do is look for the best flavors, crossing borders and continents. This time, we’re writing about Argentinian restaurants, taking you directly to the land of tango.
On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, the excellence of meat is one of the flagships of Argentine gastronomy. Chorizo steak, lomo and much more delight many. For the sweet tooth, there’s no shortage of traditional sweets and desserts.
Tinto & Brasa
Here you can enjoy a true Argentinian experience, tasting not only the classic (and delicious) empanadas, but also the famous wines from this South American country.
There, the Portuguese grill is replaced by the typical Argentine parrilla and even the decoration takes you back to the other side of the Atlantic. A place to consider if you want to ‘venture’ into Argentine flavors.
Address: Rua de João Penha, 30
Volver de Carne y Alma
This is one of the Argentine restaurants in Lisbon with the best rating on Google (4.6 out of more than a thousand reviews). Volver de Carne Y Alma is particularly famous for its matured meats, with the Beef Wellington being one of the stars of the menu.
What’s more, in this meeting between Portugal and Argentina, it’s worth pointing out that you can have two different experiences in the same place:
- Volver: for an extended experience and a ‘real’ meal from start to finish
- Chico: for those who prefer to snack with friends.
Address: Rua Luís de Freitas Branco 5D
Café Buenos Aires
Open since 2002, Café Buenos Aires is one of the Argentine restaurants worth trying in Lisbon.
With its cozy décor, it overlooks one of the city’s most emblematic monuments, the Castelo de São Jorge.
The place is known for its Argentinian steaks, but also for its fresh pasta.
Address: Calçada do Duque 31 B
From delicious grilled meats to classic empanadas, you can taste the best of Argentina’s flavors in the heart of Lisbon!
