Old Lisbon Restaurant

This staple neighborhood restaurant on Coral Way is known for international dining. The modern-rustic dining room is accented by an open kitchen. Dishes such as carne de porco a alentejana — a surprisingly light pork stew made with potatoes, clams, chunks of pork tenderloin, and pickled vegetables tossed in a white-wine garlic sauce — give diners a chance to taste the unexpected flavors of Portugal, so often eclipsed by neighboring Spain. With a wine cellar that features Old World selections, as well as Portuguese beers and exceptional service from the knowledgeable staff, Old Lisbon is a comeback story that's here to stay after a fire nearly destroyed it several years ago.
