O Jardim

Príncipe Real, Santos & Estrela


Jardim is Portuguese for 'garden' and, keeping with that theme, this brightly coloured restaurant serves chips in a watering can and lime mousse with Oreo in a pot. It's great if you're looking for a laid-back restaurant with affordable meals in the area. If you're in a hurry during lunch hours, ask for the daily specials.
