The dining experience Portugal is something you would come back for. And not just because of the food-- although it is excellent, of course!

The country's capital, Lisbon, offers al fresco dining with stunning views that will make you enjoy your food even more. Here are some of the best places to go to in Lisbon for an al fresco dining of a lifetime:

Bica do Sapato. One of the most known restaurants in Lisbon, Bica Do Sapato offers excellent Portuguese cuisine an excellent sushi menu. Located near the River Tagus, this resto doesn't need much décor as they have the River Tagus complementing the whole restaurant.

Associação Católica Internacional ao Serviço da Juventude Feminina. In English, it is dubbed as "The Nun's Canteen", and it is run by a Catholic association in Lisbon. This is a secret gem only locals know and some few tourists who went all out for insider trips. Guests can enjoy great food at great price amidst the beautiful view of the restaurant's rooftop terrace.

Casanova. If you're suddenly craving for pizza, then don't think twice and just head over to Casanova where the freshest and most delicious pizzas in Lisbon are found. The restaurant's setting are full of long tables, so chances are you can eat a meal with a stranger by your side. The casual laid back vibe of the restaurant is also a plus, with a riverside terrace if you want to eat with a view.

Atia-te Ao Rio. In between Lisbon's abandoned riverside warehouses, there stood an intimate restaurant perfect for dates and casual, relaxed dining. Atia-te Ao Rio is the perfect spot to view the beautiful sunset in River Tagus while filling yourself with their scrumptious meals.

The Decadente. Located on the ground floor of the Independente Hostel, The Decadente is a favorite spot for tourists and locals alike because of their really good, authentic Portuguese food at affordable prices. After eating, savor the experience and go up to the pricier Insólito, where you can get a front-row seat in admiring Lisbon's beautiful architectural history, with breathtaking views and an old-town feel.
