Since we know how much it costs to order a croquette and leave disappointed, we decided to compile a list of seven places in Lisbon where you can enjoy a good, tasty croquette.
For us, these are the best croquettes in Lisbon! Our mouths are watering just talking about them.
Table Of Contents
Gambrinus Restaurant
The traditional and very charismatic Gambrinus is known for its exquisite menu and more luxurious meals.
However, it also has a wonderful croquette, which tastes even better if you eat it at the counter!
Here the croquettes are accompanied by English mustard and the combination is close to perfection.
They’re freshly fried and served piping hot and, for us, they’re just as good as the caviar that’s also on the menu!
Address: Rua Portas de Santo Antão 23 (Restauradores)
Eliseu dos Leitões
So you know from the name that this is a croquette with a different meat from the others in this guide. And I can’t tell you how delicious it is.
The Eliseu dos Leitões they are dense as can be and the company of the suckling pig sauce makes all the difference, making them moist and spicy, just the way you want them.
They can also be accompanied by sparkling wine, which this house in Carnide has in abundance, or an aromatic craft beer. You don’t even know what’s good!
Address: Rua Álvaro Benamor 2B (Carnide, near Colombo Shopping Center)
Restaurant Das Flores
It’s very close to Largo de Camões one of the smaller taverns, but always with delicious food, which we’ve already had the chance to try.
And it doesn’t even need a name! Just search for “restaurant Das Flores” and it’ll come up.
Take down the phone number because you’ll really need to book a table if you want to eat here, in a space that fits just over 20 people.
As for the dishes, our suggestion is the Meat Croquettes with Tomato Rice. They’re small, they always come hot to the table and they’re some of the most delicious we’ve ever eaten.
If you order them individually, don’t forget to add a little mustard on top.
Address: Rua das Flores 76 (Chiado)
Salta Restaurant
You really have to go to , an Asian-Latin American fusion restaurant Jumper to try one of the best meat croquettes that has ever passed through our throats.
It is fried in the duck’s own fat sauce, which has previously been confit to fill the crispy crust.
Address: Rua Rodrigo da Fonseca 82A (Marquês)
Califa Bakery
Califa is one of Benfica’s most traditional pastry shops and has been producing sweets, savory snacks and tasty meals for over 50 years.
Of course, the croquettes are exceptional here too !
If you have business to attend to in Colombo or Fonte Nova, take the detour and try this delicacy. You won’t regret it!
Address: Estrada de Benfica 463 (São Domingos de Benfica)
Tico Tico Restaurant
Some people go to Tico Tico because of the seafood, but there are also those who go there for the very tasty croquettes made with beef.
Crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, Tico Tico’s croquettes have been on the menu for more than four decades and more than 500 are made every day.
Only a croquette this addictive can justify such high demand! Wonderful!
Address: Avenida Rio de Janeiro 21 (Alvalade)
Versailles Bakery
There are many good reasons to visit Pastelaria Versailles: the space is beautiful, the decor art nouveau is admirable, the cakes are delicious, but the croquettes.. . the croquettes are divine.
They come in two sizes (small and large) and have been one of the most requested products in the house for decades.
The good news is that the brand, founded in 1922, has a space at the airport, so these otherworldly croquettes could be the snack that accompanies you at high altitudes.
Address: Avenida da República 15A (Saldanha)
Portugália Brewery
Made with selected meat and an exclusive seasoning, Portugália’s croquettes are almost as famous as the brewery’s steaks.
For this reason, the Portugália Balcão spaces, which you can find in various shopping centers, offer the Croquete Menu, served in a frying pan and accompanied by fries, rice or salad, not forgetting the famous Portugália sauce.
In restaurants, you can order them as a starter, not forgetting the mustard. our favorite place is still Almirante Reis!
Address: Avenida Almirante Reis 117 (Arroios)
Casa dos Sabores (from Casa de Santo António)
The croquettes from Casa dos Sabores, which belongs to the Casa de Protecção e Amparo de Santo António, a social solidarity institution whose mission is to support the cause of unprotected maternity, have just “landed” in our newsroom. And, as promised, they’re a delight that’s hard to match .
Generous in size and with a meat filling you’ll never forget, the croquettes at Casa dos Sabores deserve a place on our list of the best croquettes in Lisbon.
If you want to try them too, and help this charity, place your order now via the online store. They only cost €1, but they taste like luxury croquettes.
Address: Calçada das Necessidades 2 (Alcântara)
