Palácio Chiado

Looking to feel extra fancy? Palácio Chiado is the move. This opulent restaurant, cocktail bar, and dancing spot with big 1920s energy is housed in a restored 18th-century palace in the center of Chiado. There are two distinct areas : The Salla, a wood-paneled cocktail bar that’s perfect for beginning or ending your night, and the main multi-room restaurant, which you’ll find at the top of a grand staircase. While you should definitely scope out the restaurant—especially to catch a glimpse of the massive gold lion with wings suspended from the ceiling—we like this place best for a drink at the bar.
