Restaurante Espaco Lisboa

Frommer's Review

This is a tiny two-story restaurant, popular with the locals for its traditional, country-style Portuguese food. Located in a Chinese village house just off the main square in Colôane Village (Vila Colôane), it offers so many great choices it's hard to know where to start. Fried codfish cakes, an assortment of Portuguese sausages, or the sautéed clams with garlic and coriander are a good launch to a feast here, followed, perhaps, by the traditional Portuguese cabbage soup. For the main course, which comes with side dishes, you might opt for the roast codfish served with potatoes and hot olive oil and garlic or the tenderloin steak Portuguese-style, fried with garlic and white wine and served with Portuguese honey ham, fried egg, and potatoes. And to top it all off? How about banana ice cream, served with rum au flambé? In nice weather, you may want to sit at one of the three tables outside on the tiny balcony, where you can look upon ancient tiled roofs and listen to the clicking of mah-jongg.
