Ponto Final
A celebration of traditional Portuguese flavours, with an emphasis on fresh, local seafood
Literally perched on an old cobbled fishing pier, leaning against the cliffs on the south bank of the Tagus, and with the whole city of Lisbon at its feet, Ponto Final is more than just a restaurant—it’s scenery, a mood, a story on its own.
The menu is a celebration of traditional Portuguese flavours, with an emphasis on fresh, local seafood. Think tender octopus drizzled with olive oil, golden-fried cuttlefish and perfectly grilled fish that tastes like it was caught just moments before reaching your plate.
We recommend
If you’re in search of authentic Portuguese cuisine away from the tourist paths, paired with breathtaking views in a unique setting, Ponto Final is well worth the journey. Keep an eye on the menu for daily specials and seasonal catches, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself planning a return visit before the last bite.
Notes
With Lisbon’s skyline stretching across the water and the setting sun casting golden hues over the river, golden hour here is a must.
Finding your way to Ponto Final feels like an adventure on it’s own. If you’re arriving from downtown Cacilhas, don’t let the GPS instructions throw you off—simply follow the riverside path and let the salty breeze guide you towards the sunset. Before long, this tiny slice of heaven will reveal itself. Arriving from uptown Almada is probably the most scenic option: take the panoramic elevator down to the riverfront, and you’re just steps away from one of the most picturesque dining spots in greater Lisbon.
The charm of Ponto Final lies in its effortless simplicity. Yellow metal chairs line the waterfront terrace, where diners sip crisp vinho verde and gaze at the occasional ferry rippling past. The ambiance is delightfully unpretentious—warm, welcoming and refreshingly unhurried. It’s the kind of place where meals turn into lingering conversations and where every dish feels like an invitation to savour the moment.
