Cantina LX.

★ Cantinho do Aziz MOURARIA MOZAMBICAN Backstreet, family-run restaurant serving up the exotically delicious cuisine of Mozambique, a coconut- and chili-infused blend of African, Indian, and Portuguese flavors. Try crab curry; shrimp with okra; or baby goat with toasted coconut. Go easy on the iced 2M beers shipped in from southern Africa, chef Jeny’s fiery piri-piri sauce, and the sweet cashew fruit mousse. Rua de S. Lourenço 5. www.cantinhodoaziz.com. ☎ 21/887-6472. Main courses 8€–17€. Open daily. Metro: Martim Moniz. Map p 98.

★★ Casa dos Passarinhos CAMPO DE OURIQUE PORTUGUESE It’s increasingly hard to find places like this, simple neighborhood taverns known as tascas, serving home-style food to families and groups of friends according to time-honored recipes. This “house of little birds” is one of the best. The menu changes daily; ask the white-shirted waiters for recommendations. Dishes include creamy monkfish rice with shrimp or grilled mackerel with cilantro and roe. It’s handily located if you’re visiting the Amoreiras shopping mall. Rua Silva Carvalho 195. www.casadospassarinhos.com. ☎ 21/388-2346. Main courses 9€–18.50€. Closed Sun. Metro: Rato. Bus: 758. Map p 100.

★ Comida de Santo PRÍNCIPE REAL BRAZILIAN From your first drop of caipirinha to the last spoonful of papaya purée, this is a tropical adventure for the taste buds. One of Lisbon’s oldest Brazilian restaurants, it gets its inspiration from the cooking of Salvador da Bahia, famed for its use of coconut, lime, and delicate spices. Typical dishes include vatapá, made with fish palm oil and cashew nuts and dried shrimp; or cured beef with cassava and catupiry cheese. Calçada Engenheiro Miguel Pais, 39. www.comidadesanto.pt. ☎ 21/396-3339. Main courses 10€–18€. Closed Tues. Dinner only in Aug. Metro: Rato. Bus: 758/730. Map p 100.
