Portuguese cuisine in Lisbon

garage_greg

I'm now going to Lisbon. This is travel for work, and now, just at the very last minute, I'm realizing I can enjoy the place as well (and not only think to work duties 😊) and especially the cuisine. I know that Portuguese food is known to be fish-based, but I would like to know what I shouldn't really miss from Portuguese cousins, and the one from Lisbon in particular. So, what is a very typical Portuguese food from Lisbon that I MUST taste?

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Typical food from Portugal. I will write the names in Portuguese and whenever possible translate it. Some of the dish names are dedicated to someone (their creator or restaurant that first served it) and some are named after the cooking process or the cooking device where it's made. Its hard to translate since some of these are really Portuguese types of pans like the "cataplana". There are types of dishes for everyone but be prepared because not all flavors are love at first taste. Even dishes with a "cute" look and an easy-going taste can become heavy beasts :) - try the Francesinha if you feel brave. Fish In Lisbon all grilled fish is good. It's a coastal city so the relation with fish...
