The best view and the best home cooking in Lisbon can be enjoyed at Ristorante Ponto Final. Take the 10-minute ferry ride across the Tagus from Cais de Sodre to Cacilhas then swing right, past the fishermen, towards the ocean. The catch of the day, served with Alentejo bread and wine for €15 is a delight, especially if you get there early and grab a table outside.

The Food Temple is a small, hard-to-find vegetarian/vegan restaurant in the gorgeous medieval Mouraria neighbourhood. It serves delicious, good-value tapas-style meals and the (creative) menu changes frequently. The plates are around €4 and there are also delicious desserts. More than the food here though, the atmosphere of the place is wonderful. You can sit at a table or on outdoor steps where people mill around and order food and eat alfresco (they double as seating for live music events). The atmosphere is relaxed and romantic.
