The steaks that are making history in Lisbon

Recognized by many as the place for the best steak in Lisbon, Café de São Bento serves steak in three ways: Portuguese style, grilled, or the famous Bife à São Bento. Inspired by the recipe of the old Cafés Marrare, this steak has been prepared the same way for over four decades. Thickly cut and tender, it’s served immersed in a spicy cream sauce, perfect for dipping crispy homemade fries. It can be accompanied by different side dishes and, for connoisseurs, topped with an egg – an absolute classic among steak restaurants in Lisbon.
