Lisbon, Portugal

Menus in Lisbon can feel confusing at first, but ordering is simple.

  • Pointing is completely normal

  • Many places have daily specials (prato do dia)

  • Portions are often generous, so sharing works well

Tip: don’t expect long explanations, service can be quick and to the point.
