Paralelo 45

Located in the Marques Pombal area, a few steps from the famous Avenida Liberdade, Paralelo45 is a comfortable and cosy restaurant where the dishes are elaborated from fresh local products in an open kitchen right in front of the guests. The “À La Carte Menu” is created by the young and talented Chef Alison Leroy who takes pleasure in mixing Portuguese and French influences in her «cuisine». This trendy « Bistro » is the perfect place to discover a menu full of Comfort and surprises at the same time. The «lamb shank» cooked as a tribute to Chef Paul Boccuse, the chicken breast and chestnut in two textures or the duck “vol-au-vent” will bring you warmth, comfort and childhood flavours. Meanwhile, the Portuguese grilled octopus created with inspirations from the south of France, the filet mignon and its port wine sauce or the black pork “cocotte” and many other unexpected mixes of savours will surprise your palate. Everyday at lunch time, the Chef and her team elaborate a “menu of the day” based on the daily inspiration and the fresh products that were presented to us by our friendly suppliers on the same morning. In order to please our guests with this particular menu, we focus on flavours, the variety of the dishes and last but not least, the quality price ratio in order to ensure a lovely but affordable experience. 14€ is the price for the menu of the day with a starter and a main course or a main course and dessert paired with a glass of wine and finalized with a nice coffee. !7€ entitles you to experiment the complete menu of the day. If you hear «service» coming from a confident voice inside the open kitchen, it means the Chef is about to finish plating a dish and that your octopus, lamb shank or black pork might be on its way to your table! As we say here in Portugal «Bom apetite» !
