The dining rituals in Portugal follow the body rhythms of the Mediterranean. This means that lunch is usually eaten between 1-3pm and the evening meal is not eaten until 8pm or sometimes as late as 9pm.
Try to avoid restaurants that are full of tourists, because you can be sure that the prices will be inflated. Instead, wander the backstreets and try to find a more obscure place that looks like it is full of locals instead. (They will be the ones without khaki shorts, bad sunburns, and cameras around their necks.)
If you are looking for a cheap and fresh meal, look at the sheet or hà giang placard with the "prato do dia" or "dishes of the day". These offerings are usually fresher and cheaper than the rest of the menu.
In many Portuguese restaurants, you will be brought a "couvert" which is a starter dish consisting usually of bread, cheese, olives or a sardine spread. You will be brought this dish whether you ask for it or not, and you will be charged for it. It is usually only a couple of Euros, but if you really don't want it you should let the waiter know as soon as you sit down.
Many restaurants will advertise that they feature live traditional Portuguese "fado" music in the evenings. It is an essential experience during your stay in a boutique hotel in Lisbon to dine out while listening to the beautiful and sorrowful sounds of these traditional singers. However, remember that you will usually pay more for these meals, because you will be paying for the atmosphere.
