“The value of things rests not in the time they take, but the intensity with which they happen” – this is one of the slogans of one of the best terraces in Lisbon.

Ferroviário
The Ferroviário was founded in the early 60’s as place for railway workers and administration to gather and hold events. It was only in 2020 that the general public was given the opportunity to see what is one of the loveliest terraces in Lisbon.
With a new décor, cultural programming and menu, it boasts two independent stages where you can enjoy live music, cinema, photography, painting and art. The open-air terrace is about 500m2 and has a unique view over Lisbon and the Tagus, but is also famous for its menu of light meals and cocktails.

The highpoint of the Bahr, an extension of the Bairro Alto Hotel restaurant, is the view over the Tagus and the Lisbon rooftops. The atmosphere is modern and welcoming and you can enjoy a seasonal menu of light meals or just relax while you take in a fresh drink and the sunset.
One of the characteristics that makes this one best terraces in Lisbon is the snacks, such as the shrimp rissoles with a Goan twist and hot carrot and kimchi omelets. Both are examples of the progressive international cuisine made by chef Nuno Mendes.
