For Portuguese traditional cuisine at its finest, head to the area of Chiado.
Tourist traps with laminated menus and meal deals are mostly concentrated in the Baixa area.
It has an exception, however: Rua das Portas de Santo Antão (north-east from Praca dos Restauradores, parallel to it)--it's the seafood strip, and home to the best greasy spit-roasted chicken this side of Louisiana at the Bonjardim restaurant (Santo Antão, 11), appropriately nicknamed Rei dos Frangos.
For a familiar taste at one of the many chain eateries, head to Doca de Santo Amaro (train/tram 15 station Alcantara-Mar) and Parque das Nações (metro Oriental).
All the culinary and clubbing kudos is right now concentrated in Doca de Jardim de Tabaco (piece of river waterfront right under Castelo de Sao Jorge).
Quality dishes for a high price are in well-to-do Lapa.
Tour groups primarily feel at home in Alfama.
Traditional Portugese restaurants are in Bairro Alto, scattered abundantly through its quirky narrow streets.
