O Velho Eurico
A historic tavern revitalized by a young chef, sparking Lisbon's modern tasca trend and becoming one of the hardest tables to book in town.
Located at Largo de São Cristóvão 3 in the Mouraria district, this was once a traditional tavern before being taken over and reimagined around 2019 by young chef Zé Paulo Rocha. Signature dishes include octopus roasted in olive oil, duck rice, Bacalhau à Brás, and lamb croquettes, while the leite-creme dessert is available only until sold out. Main courses top out at around €22, with an average spend of €20–30 per person. Reservations must be made at least 7 days in advance, and even earlier for peak times; alternatively, you can line up before opening to try your luck. The Martim Moniz metro station is nearby, just a short walk uphill.
