Lisbon Experience Restaurants

Cervejaria “O Pinóquio”

Portugal has wonderful beer and food (but you already knew that). What you probably didn’t know is that you can find the best of both in places called “Cervejarias” (Beer Houses).

There are many in Lisbon where have a “Beer Experience“, but one of the best is “O Pinóquio” at downtown. Besides great beer you’ll find fresh Seafood alongside with top-quality meat and fish.

Our suggestion is to go with a group of friends and split the orders so you can experience different dishes, instead of going just for 1.

They have a promenade for summer, so you can have your cold beers outside while enjoying a typical hot Lisbon night.

From there you can go to everywhere (by foot, metro, bus or train), but the best after dinner is to take a walk and enjoy the great streets of downtown Lisbon.

OPEN: Everyday from 12h to 00h

RESERVATIONS: Advised – 00351 213465106

AVERAGE PRICE: 20,00€

RESTAURANT TYPE: Beer House

WHERE: Praça dos Restauradores 79
