If you are looking the steamy, tasty shrimp dumplings and fluffy pork buns...you are at the right place.
Lisbon may not be flooded with dim sum spots (unlike NYC or London and cities with larger Chinese immigrants), but there are some fantastic options around the city.
For an authentic experience, check out Macau Dim Sum (close to city center) and Dim Sum Park (located in a more residential area). With an extensive menu featuring everything from chicken feet to beef tripe, it’s perfect for those who like to explore unique flavors.
If you're in the mood for something fancy, head to JNcQUOI Frou Frou on Avenida da Liberdade. Their Pan-Asian menu has some of the most tasty (and pricy) dim sum I've ever had.
For a cozy date or a night out with friends, Aura Dim Sum Lab in Alfama offers a great ambiance with a semi-open kitchen and counter seating where you can watch the chefs making dim sums live. Another great option is Boa Bao in Chiado—though it’s popular with tourists, so be prepared for a wait.
