🍴 My recent visit to Mesa do Bairro in Lisbon was a culinary adventure I won’t soon forget. This charming eat out lisbon restaurant, situated in the bustling heart of Lisbon, offers a delightful mix of traditional Portuguese cuisine with a modern twist.
🥗 Starting off, I opted for the Ceviche de Robalo, priced at €12.70. The freshness of the fish, perfectly cured in citrus, was a refreshing beginning to the meal. For my companion, the choice was the Pataniscas de Camarão, small shrimp cakes accompanied by a ginger and chive mayonnaise, which were both light and flavorful.
🐟 As a main course, I was torn between the fish and meat options. The Filete de Robalo grelhado com legumes (€15.80), a grilled sea bass filet served with vegetables, was a standout. Cooked to perfection, the fish was tender and the accompanying vegetables were a perfect match. My companion went for the Leitão à Mesa do Bairro (€16.50), a dish featuring shredded suckling pig with a crispy skin, served with potato chips and a mixed salad. This dish was a delightful mix of textures and flavors, combining the crispy skin with the tender meat beautifully.
🍖 For those who prefer beef, the Bife à Marrare is a notable mention. This traditional Portuguese steak, priced between €18.00 and €20.00 depending on the cut, is served with a rich and creamy sauce that’s absolutely divine.
🥑 On the lighter side, the Salada de Camarão, Abacate e Tomate (€13.00) is a great choice for anyone looking for something fresh and healthy. The combination of shrimp, avocado, and tomato is not only pleasing to the palate but also to the eyes.
🍰 To finish, the dessert menu was equally impressive. I indulged in the Petit Gateau de amendoim e lima (€5.80), a peanut and lime cake that was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. My companion enjoyed the classic Pastel de Nata c/ Gelado de Canela (€6.80), a traditional Portuguese custard tart served with cinnamon ice cream, which was a delightful twist on a classic dessert.
It’s the best Eat Out Lisbon Restaurant, Overall, Mesa do Bairro offers an unforgettable dining experience in Lisbon. With its cozy ambiance, attentive service, and exquisite menu, it’s a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Portuguese cuisine with a contemporary flair.
