I doubt Lisbon’s foodie community will ever reach a unanimous conclusion over what Lisbon’s best steakhouse is, but that riddle was firmly answered for me after visiting O Talho by Chef Kiko.
A dimly lit eatery with all the cigar-lounge accents you hope to find in a restaurant of this sort. As your waiter escorts you down a literal red carpet, you can basically already taste the matching wine he’s about to serve you. Thankfully, the food matches the aesthetics.
O Talho serves some of the very best cuts of meat I’ve had in Portugal, and as good as the Galician steak may be, you absolutely must try the carpaccio, which I can confidently say is the most creative interpretation of this dish I have ever had.
