If you visit Lisbon for a few days, a 10-minutes ferry trip to reach the other side of the Tagus river is really worth it! Restaurant Atira-te ao Rio is one of my favorites: a superb setting and delicious food!

Right next to the elevator to the Cristo Rei Statue, restaurant Atira-te ao Rio (litt. ‘throw yourself into the river’) is a space blessed by fabolous views over old town Lisbon. Don’t forget to bring your camera! Image may be NSFW.

The menu is typically Portuguese: dishes with good presentation and tasty. We ordered my favorite dish in this restaurant: salada com polvo grelhado (octopus salad), cous-cous com legumes e iogurt (cous-cous with vegetables and yoghurt), and cool white wine (copo de vinho branco). Bill for 2 persons: 35 euro.

In wintertime the large windows allow the view to be equally (almost as) good as outside. The restaurant features an indoor room with a burning stove and a terrace with heaters and blankets.
