Lisbon restaurant locations
Anyone know of a site which shows the various locations of retaurants in Lisbon? I've found various sites for other palces, but none for Lisbon. I'd like to have a general idea of where good restaurants are. Thanks!

Sorry-can't help with a www site, but there are innumerable restaurants in the Baixa district on Rua das Portas de Santo Antao, as well as the 'offshoot' streets on Rua das Portas. All offered both indoor/outdoor seating, including Telapizza-the local pizza palace! Lots of strolling musicians as well !

Thanks Debs, for trying! I have found some infor. So I am able to tell where the restaurants are located, (I do have a map, and I've figured out the 1200, 1100 thing). This is a good site, and hopefully it could help someone else in the future! It's www.portugalvirtual.pt
Once you're there, you can check out restaurants, shopping, lots of things!

Casa da Comida (Lisbon)
Roaring fires remove the damp chill from the air on foggy evenings in an ambiance that is bracing and healthful. The Portuguese-French cuisine is preferred by many over any other restaurant in Lisbon.
Casa Velha (Quinta do Lago near Almancil)
On a rocky hilltop above the modern resort of Quinta do lago, this restaurant occupies a century-old farmhouse. Its sophisticated cuisine derives from preparations of upscale French and Portuguese recipes.
Conventual (Lisbon)
Inside this former convent, you're likely to find the prime minister of Portugal dining with assorted ministers. A collection of panels from antique churches will command your attention, a will the rich but refined cuisine based on the bourgeois traditions of Old Portugal.
Cozinha Velha (Queluz)
During the 1700s, food for the monarchy's most lavish banquets was prepared here. Today, the high-ceilinged kitchens of "Old Kitchen" serve an unusual restaurant whose cuisine reflects the old days of Portuguese royalty. Especially outstanding is a soufle-like codfish (bacalhau espiritual) which takes 45 minutes to prepare. Celebrate its desserts, many of which are based on ancient convent recipes.
Four Seasons (Palacio Hotel, Estoril)
Rich colors and artful accents compliment this tranquil restaurant, a fixture in Estoril since the days when deposed European monarchs assembled here with their entourages. High glamour, old-world service, and impeccably prepared international cuisine are the Four Seasons hallmark
Gambrinus (Lisbon)
One of the hippest, best managed seafood restaurants in Lisbon, this standup bar offers an astonishing array of shellfish. Enjoy a glass of dry white port accompanied by some of the most exotic seafood in the Atlantic.
Hotel La Reserve (Santa Barbara de Nexe)
Possibly the finest dining room on the Algarve, this elegant restaurant serves international cuisine. The staff is familiar with the dining rituals of patrons from virtually everywhere in Europe.
Reijos Restaurant (Cascais)
This unpretentious place is convivial, bustling, and international. Its culinary inspirations are gathered from both sides of the Atlantic. The sophisticated menu features many Portuguese regional dishes alongside American delights such as roast beef, pepper steak, and even baked Virginia ham. A great place for the traveler who pines a little for the pleasures of home.
Restaurante Porto de Santa Maria (Praia do Guincho)
Understated decor highlights this restaurant's bubbling aquarium and sea view. The menu boasts every conceivable kind of shellfish, served in the freshest of combinations.
Tagide (Lisbon)
The ambiance is Old Portugal, with French overtones in the cuisine and decor. The setting is a suitably noble antique manor house overlooking the Tagus. The cuisine represents the city's most refined versions of Portuguese regional dishes, especially fresh fish courses such as scallops of salted cod and baby octopus in red-wine sauce. Compliment your meal with one of 200 or more bottles of Portuguese and French wine from their cellar.

Go to viamichelin.com, click on the Restaurants bar, and type in Lisbon. There are more than 30 recommended restaurants, so you have to limit your search by clicking on the options and choosing how fancy you want it to be (we say that the number of forks determines how many people will wait on you). Don't go by the stars--that limits your search too much. When you've click on the restaurant name, you get a description and prices for a fixed menu or a la carte, and from the menu bar on the left-hand side you can get a map showing the location, or you find out how far it is from your hotel by choosing Itinerary.

I like Brewery restaurants, especially la Portugalia which has several in Lisbon. The original is about 3-blocks from the MetroLisboa Alameda station. The newest one is at the Mall (Colombo?) at the MetroLisboa Academia Militar station. The one I like best is on the riverside about 500m west from the Cais do Sodré ferry terminal.
There is also a (mostly seafood) restaurant on the ground floor of the Sagres brewery.

Gambinus, mentioned above, is not just a standup seafood bar, it is a premier restaurant I strongly recommend.
Service is very good, the food excellent. It is centrally located and a cab will deliver you at their door, they are glad to telephone for a taxi for you when you leave.
Dining rooms are old fashioned, paneled. Americans tended to dress much more casually than local patrons, so they tend to put most in one of the rooms, but service is equal anywhere.
