Indian and Italian restaurant. It's good when you're a group where everyone doesn't like Indian food, because who doesn't like Italian?
Gandhi Palace

This is a very cool concept and a must visit. It's a big open space where a lot of selected restaurants from around the city has a little outlet. Everyone can order from different places and eat together on the shared tables in the middle.

Fine lunching =) If you have time to go to lunch in a weekday and appreciate fancy food, you should really book a table at Eleven. It's really high-end with one Michelin star, but on weekdays they have a "Business Lunch" which is a three course lunch with two options for starter and main course (usually fish or meat), and dessert (usually cake or cheese). This costs only €35 per person + €4 per glass of wine of the week. (I wrote this in Oct 2017, so double check the prices)

Perfect for brunch, lunch or to get drunch (drunk at lunch). It's a really nice place with a great view over the bridge.

You must have a “Pastel de Nata” when you're in Lisbon. If you haven't heard of it yet, it is Portugal's famous custard tart. This shop is the absolute best I've found so far.
