As you step in, it's impossible not to notice the speakers. At Bloco, the music speaks louder, or this wouldn't be a space run by DJ and music producer Duarte Ornelas and his partner, Sílvia Rocha. In this bar on the famous, blue-painted street in the heart of Chiado, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the food is delicious (did someone mention the Sloppy Joe with gizzards?). To drink, there's low-intervention wine by the glass or bottle from small producers with a focus on the Lisbon region.

Insider tip. Ask for the cocktails, which are just as good as the wines.
