It happens every time the sun starts to peek through the clouds: the search for terraces to have a snack in Lisbon, where you can have a few drinks and, of course, satisfy your hunger.
A cold beer on a terrace is essential to make your day go considerably better, but if you add a slice of pizza, a cheeseburger, Brazilian delicacies or other themed cuisine, then you’ve reached perfection.
That’s why we went in search of terraces in Lisbon that offer all this and much more.
A cold beer is a certainty… as for the food, there’s plenty to choose from.
