It isn´t hard to find cheap yet good restaurants in Lisbon. Here is a list with some of my top restaurants where you can eat for less than 15€ per person.

Cheap restaurants, as cheap hotels aren’t rare in Lisbon. Thus travelling to Lisbon is not as expensive as to many other European cities. Throughout the city there are plenty restaurants that offer a full menu, including main course, dessert, coffee and a drink for less than 15€. Another plus of these restaurants is that they usually serve typical Portuguese food instead the fast food you find out in other metropolis in Europe. Many of these locals also offer half portions that are very suitable for children or for those who don’t eat much and that will only cost you half of the price of the regular portions. My advice is that you take a look at the menus standing outside restaurants to check the available dishes and if you have any doubts ask for the assistance of an employee as normally there is always someone who speaks English.

This said let me present you my very own favorite 10 cheap restaurants in Lisbon (less than 15€) where you may enjoy not just the typical Portuguese cuisine but also some other more exotic tastes. Hope you like it!

However, you can always have a steak with the “special sauce” instead or some of the famed Portuguese seafood dishes.
