My husband and I will be in Lisbon in 10 days. Can you recommend some nice (not too fancy) restaurants for dinner? Fish and vegetarian options are a must and a great view/ambiance is preferred too.
Thanks!

My favourite restaurant in Lisbon was Chapitô a Mesà. It is both a resaurant and a circus school. Some areas have lovely views. Some have a circus tent ambience. The food and service were great. It is in the castle district.

Pinóquio in Praca Restauradores is nice casual.

We had pretty good luck just wandering some of the popular areas and checking menus. But if you want seafood, look for a Marisqueira, they range from fancy to local and basic. Heavy on shellfish, but a good variety. Probably the best well known is Cervejario Ramiro since it has been featured on several TV shows, but there are easily a dozen in central Lisbon.
Also worth a visit, is the Time Out Market near central Lisbon. A traditional market plus a modern food hall. A number of top restaurants operate stands, plus drinks and sweets, all in an active busy atmosphere. You can wander and get a dish at one place, one from another, whatever looks good.
