Old Lisbon Restaurants - Aventura

Old Lisbon Restaurants in Aventura brings traditional Portuguese fine dining to the Aventura Shopping Center, just outside Aventura Mall. Family-owned since 1991, this location is the newest in a small group of Portuguese restaurants known for codfish specialties, seafood paella, and grilled octopus.

The dining room is elegant and warm, with a whimsical tree as a centerpiece and a live violinist performing some evenings, creating an atmosphere that feels upscale yet welcoming. The menu spans bacalhau prepared multiple ways, grilled sardines, steaks, and a seafood and steak cataplana for two, alongside an extensive Portuguese wine list and signature cocktails.

With entrees running from the mid-$20s to the $50s and a dedicated happy hour Monday through Thursday, it draws locals celebrating birthdays and anniversaries as well as visitors looking for an authentic taste of Portugal in South Florida. Expect attentive table service, a moderate noise level, and outdoor seating options.
