Once again, Portuguese gastronomy, and Lisbon’ s in particular, has been highlighted across borders. This time, the renowned TasteAtlas platform has included two of the capital’s restaurants in its top 100 of the most iconic places in the world.
According to the renowned website, these restaurants stand out among the more than 20,000 in its database. The places mentioned are a reference for their longevity and quality, being much more than a ‘simple’ place to eat.
It should also be noted that the TasteAtlas ranking reflects the history of each venue, public reviews and TasteAtlas scores for its signature dishes. Shall we now find out which two Lisbon restaurants appear on this list?
Two restaurants in Lisbon
Adega das Gravatas (27th)
According to Taste Atlas, Adega das Gravatas makes it into the Top 50 of the most legendary restaurants in the world, largely because of its house specialty: Polvo à Lagareiro.
Traditional and authentic are the adjectives that best characterize this establishment, founded in 1908 in Carnide, where they prepare this delicacy in the most classic way possible: octopus roasted in olive oil, garlic and small potatoes.
Address: Travessa do Pregoeiro 15 (Carnide)
Laurentina (72nd)
The Laurentina restaurant, which is part of our own list of the five best places to eat cod in Lisbon, came 72nd in the Taste Atlas.
Located in Avenidas Novas, Laurentina, the King of Cod, has been serving this house specialty since 1976, and you can try it in a variety of ways: chipped, with cream and spinach, in pataniscas, à Brás or in couvada.
Address: Avenida Conde Valbom 71A (Avenidas Novas)
