Tavares Restaurant: The Oldest And Most Famous Lisbon Restaurant
The oldest and clearly, the most famous restaurant in Portugal, Tavares is a gourmet Lisbon restaurant, featuring the finest in modern cuisine with traditional Portuguese fare and some truly international favorites added in for a change of tastes.
Located in the heart of the charming Baixa-Chiado district, it has been the meeting point of intellectuals, bohemians and memorable characters to grace the local nightlife. It was the first established restaurant in the region, and is known for having one of the most complete wine lists anywhere.
Under the command of the renowned chef Jose Avillez, the Tavares restaurant has a menu that is inspired by the traditional meals of the region, brought to a new life by a crew of young and trendy chefs.
From sole cooked in a champagne sauce, to the simple bacalhau (cod fish) or the zesty sopa alentejana, a dish that artfully combines garlic, bread and eggs, there is something for everyone to sample and savor.
A local favorite on the menu are the game birds, delicately roasted in a rich wine sauce.
Elegant and opulent in setting, the average price for a three course meal in this Lisbon restaurant is around 50 Euros. A bit pricey for the average tourist, but with the classy service and a menu that encompasses all tastes, it is a reasonable cost for the experience.
