Gambrinus
Wood-panelled seafood institution running since 1936
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Opened in 1936 and remodelled in the 1960s, Gambrinus is old Lisbon distilled, wood panelling, a horseshoe bar and white-jacketed waiters serving classical Portuguese seafood, partridge pie and crêpes Suzette to a quietly serious clientele. It holds a Repsol Sun and treats the dining room as a real operational craft. The standout on an otherwise tourist-saturated street.
