The south bank of the river Tagus is my favorite place in Lisbon: views on downtown Lisbon and the 25 April Bridge are amazing!
Riverfront terrace restaurant ‘Ponto Final’, Cacilhas, amazing view downtown Lisbon. September 2017
Take the ferry from Lisbons’ Cais do Sodré (every 10 minutes, weekend every 20 min.) to the other side of the river Tagus: Cacilhas, a 10 min trip. (Return ticket : cheap)
Time table ferry from Lisbon Cais do Sodre to area Cacihas and vice versa
As you get off the ferry, it takes about 15 minutes to walk along the river to Restaurant ‘Ponto Final’, after passing lots of ruinous warehouses.

Cacilhas used to be a bustling area for a long long time when shipping and fishing were still major economic activities in Portugal.

Restaurant Ponto Final Lisbon, September 2019
Great location
€25/30 a person incl. wine. Quite reasonable prices if you consider the view! If you’re not in the mood for food, just relax, order a coffee or a glass of wine (bottle from € 7.50) and enjoy the scenery.

Very good Portuguese cuisine. Especialidade da Casa (specialty of the house): arroz de Tamboril (rice with monkfish), Entrecosto Assado no Forno (roasted ribs) and Peixe Fresco Grelhado (grilled fresh fish). The wine list has a quality assortment of Portuguese wines.

Thanks for the reccommendation. We caught the ferry and then a new tram line a couple of stops, walked to the elevator and thence down to the restaurant. It has to be one of the most idyllic places to dine, as we did, at sunset. The set sets over the enormous suspension bridge. A lot of tables wee reserved but not then occupied and room was soon made for us. We both had bream; delicious. At dusk we set off along the coast back to the ferry but were warned by the restauranteur not to do it after dark. Our trip was in September. The ferries back to the mainland run til after midnight. THanks again. Supurb place.
