"Small taverns with daily menus chalked on the door used to line the streets of Lisbon, but unfortunately, most of them are long gone. So we embrace spots like Taberna da Rua das Flores. Opened in Chiado a little over ten years ago, it's become a main attraction because of its old-school style. You won’t find many locals here—the ten tables inside the narrow space are typically scooped up by travelers who put their name down on the list before the restaurant opens at 6pm. But still, the food is excellent, and no dish is over €20. Plan to line up as early as 5pm, and go with someone who wants to share things like codfish with chickpeas, seared beef cubes called pica pau, smoked artichokes, and stingray." - rita geraldes
