We are traveling to Lisbon on a budget and we would prefer to dine in family operated restaurants that offer authentic Portuguese cuisine. We are staying in the Bairro Alto/Chiado neighborhood. Any recommendations ?

Obrigada, outra vez vinhotinto75. Ja tenho a maleta feita.

Obrigada, Vinhotinto75. I've been following your posts and plan to follow up on some of your restaurant suggestions on a six day stay in Lisbon in September. Are there any cafes, other than the famous ones you mentioned, that you particularly like? We are staying in the Chiado neighborhood but will be visiting other neighborhoods as well.

I've read that Lisbon is a mecca for coffee drinkers. What are the coffee offerings and how does one order coffee?
