To mark the start of the Chinese New Year, which begins precisely this Wednesday, January 29, 50 Best Discovery has highlighted The Old House in its list of the best Chinese restaurants outside China.
According to the article in the source mentioned above, the Lisbon spot “is a tribute to Sichuan cuisine”. In this context, “dishes such as smoked shredded pork, crispy Peking duck and roasted fish” stand out.
A gastronomic journey to The Old House
Located in the riverside area of Parque das Nações, with a breathtaking view of the Tagus River, the restaurant opened in 2015, the first of its kind outside China, marking the beginning of its internationalization.
Since then, the quality of its products and the elegant decor, which combines Chinese tradition with contemporary details, have won the attention (and taste buds) of Lisboners and beyond. Proof of this is the fact that it is the only Iberian representative on the 50 Best Discovery list.
