Feeling hungry while exploring Lisbon’s captivating historic sites and soaking up the city’s fascinating architecture? Don’t get in the first restaurant you see. Instead, find a street food stall and enjoy one of these amazing street food dishes.
Prego
Get one prego, and you will have energy for the rest of the day. The staple of the Portuguese street food scene, this tasty sandwich is made with garlic-marinated grilled beef served inside a papo seco bread roll.
Pão Com Chouriço
If you are looking for a quick bite, then pão com chouriço is a perfect choice. It is a simple dish consisting of bread filled with traditional Portuguese pork sausage called chouriço, but it does the trick every time.
Bolinhos De Bacalhau
Bolinhos de bacalhau aka codfish cakes, are a must-try if you enjoy fried food. They are made by preparing a mixture of codfish (bacalhau), potatoes, bacalhau (codfish), eggs, parsley, and onion, which is then deep fried in oil until golden brown. It goes perfectly with tangerine dipping sauce, so make sure to get that as well.
Bolas de Berlim
For your sugar cravings, turn to Bolas de Berlim. This is a Portuguese take on the Berliner doughnut with a special twist. Instead of jam, these doughnuts are filled with custard cream filling.
