Boi Cavalo

The menu at Boi Cavalo is short, sweet, and changes seasonally: traditional Portuguese dishes are modernized with international influences, mirroring the evolution of the Alfama neighborhood itself. If available, order the gnocchi with vanilla and dried tuna loin, as well as the turbot with achiote and lemon pickle to start—the latter is a spin on a classic Portuguese dish that’s traditionally made with codfish. The cozido rice with pink prawns should be your top priority for mains. It’s another contemporary take on a historic dish that’s been eaten throughout the streets of Alfama for centuries.
