Porto/Lisbon restaurant recommendations for non-seafood eaters

I realize that Portugal is all about seafood :) but we have 2 people in our party who don't eat seafood - one for allergy reasons, another by preference.

Any restaurant or general food recommendations that might help us in both Porto and Lisbon? Going in June/July 2025 so summer months if it matters (not sure that it does.)

thanks in advance. Yes, I know it's not ideal but such is the life of the travel planner in the group!

Actually, Portugal is not all seafood! Lots of pork, beef and chicken to be found on all or most restaurant menus. Roasted chicken with piri-piri sauce, lean steaks, suckling pig, meat stews - you should have no problem finding options. If the seafood allergy is only shellfish, I recommend at least trying bacalhau a bras, a cod, potato and onion casserole...

I can't recommend a specific restaurant but we had no issues in any restaurant we were at in September. There were plenty of non seafood options.
