Portuguese cuisine is very diversified and very good, however may be difficult to explain what each dish consists of.
So, don't be scared and just try portuguese cuisine, you won't regret. You can try heavy dishes like Feijoada (beans, meat and sausages), Cozido à Portuguesa (meat, potatoes, white beans and usually there is soup). Speaking of soup, try Caldo Verde (more typical from North, but it's good and simple). Eat it with a bit of chouriço and corn bread.
Now speaking in fish and seafood: Amêijoas à Bulhão Pato (Clams) (you will eat a bunch of bread, because the sauce is fantastic); Bacalhau à Brás (very simple and easy to do codfish dish (codfish, potatoes and eggs)). Of course you can't forget the sardines in Summer, with salad and potatoes or simply inside the bread.
And for dessert: Pastés de Belém (warm, full of cinammon and powder sugar) and by the way, it's mandatory to eat two (at least).
If you want portuguese "fast food", eat a Bifana (pork meat) or Prego (cow meat).
And there is much more...all good things

This is a very typical Portuguese place, a Fado song says that all the artists and Fado singers come here for a drink. It was founded in 1840, being one of the oldest places in Lisbon; however the interior is no longer the original due to some works.

If you are interested in learning more about Fado, visit Fado Museum or if you want to go inside the Alfama labyrinth, just choose one of the streets and you will find old taverns, where people after drinking some cups of aguardente (Portuguese brandy) can sing a Fado song (probably out of tune).

Even with 7 hills, Lisbon can be a great place to ride a bicycle. So rent one here and go till Belém, don’t worry it’s a straight line, no ups and downs. Come back and rest your legs outside on the terrace while you eat some petiscos (kind of snacks).

Discreet and chill bar, they do organise some music and theatre events (Better check on Facebook to know when exactly).
Locals are glad to see Intendente growing and becoming a place to go out and to live ! As it wasn't always safe in the past (some years ago), it's good to see a neighbourhood coming back
