Rua Machadinho has quickly become an unassuming road for absolutely top-of-the-line dinner options, and Familjen, the most recent entry to a neighborhood peppered with divine hole-in-the-wall eateries, just might take the cake as one of Lisbon’s most creative restaurants.
Whether it’s the shrimp with strawberry jam and pao de queijo or the steak tartare that’s served with a side of roti flatbread, nothing here is quite what it seems. It’s a restaurant that’s making sharp left turns where every other spot makes a predictable right, and the result is a minimalist, unflashy space that confidently whips up unforgettable dinners Dinner after Dinner.
Living in the Santos neighborhood, or better yet next door to Familjen, would be a dangerous privilege, especially because the four-block radius around it includes a half-dozen restaurants that are all on this 101 list.
