R. Castelo Branco Saraiva 51 A B, 1170-081 Lisboa, Portugal
The first Portuguese restaurant Velha Leitaria on the most restaurant street in Lisbon, which offers traditional dishes based on classic recipes and relax in the atmosphere of southern hospitality. Here you feel as if you are in Lisbon’s central square, where it is always sunny. Entering a Velha Leitaria one plunges into the relaxed atmosphere of Eastern rest, when there’s no need to hurry anywhere – here it’s accepted to drink hot tea and have an unhurried conversation with buddies. The menu includes classics of Portuguese cuisine. You can even order Chinese dishes here. Fish-lovers can order pike-perch, and for dessert they serve oriental sweets: cakes and pastries. There is an animator for guests with children: while the adults are talking among themselves, the child will be under supervision. For a little entertainment after a hearty lunch you can play a game of backgammon, and for those who want to relax without prying eyes a VIP-booth is available.
