Butchers, Vegetarian restaurant in Parque das Nações, Portugal
Butchers is a restaurant in the Parque das Nações district of Lisbon, Portugal, serving both meat and vegetarian dishes under one roof. The dining room is bright and open, with a layout that works for solo diners, couples, and groups alike.
The restaurant opened in February 2016 and was among the first in Parque das Nações to give meat and vegetarian cooking equal space on the menu. The neighborhood was still developing from a former World Expo site into a residential and commercial area at that time.
Butchers brings together local Portuguese ingredients and cooking methods that work equally well for meat and plant-based plates. The menu reflects a shift in how people in Lisbon are choosing to eat today.
Parque das Nações sits in eastern Lisbon and is well connected by metro and bus. The area around the restaurant is flat and easy to walk, with parking available nearby for those arriving by car.
Despite its name, Butchers was designed from the start to serve vegetarians just as well as meat eaters, with both sides of the menu given equal attention. The kitchen maintains separate preparation areas for meat and plant-based dishes, which is rare among restaurants in Lisbon.
