Fábio Fevereiro and Bruno Santos opened Lume at the beginning of last autumn with a proposal of well-made traditional cuisine with different techniques, but the traditional flavors clearly present – thanks to chef João Augusto, responsible for crafting the restaurant’s menu. It's ideal for a feast with friends, a full table that might include, for example, peixinhos da horta, some tender cod and cockles pil-pil pastries, a game escabeche and a prawn and lard açorda. There's also a good steak with chips. Lume pairs the authenticity of a neighborhood eatery with modernity and style.

Insider tip. They say they have the best croquettes in the world – they're good, served with mustard.
