Since Lisbon has blossomed into a city with a global gastronomic offering, many new culinary concepts have emerged. One of the hottest trends is eating in bowls, which is gaining popularity!

These unique spots are so innovative that they abandon traditional plates in favor of healthier, original alternatives, featuring bowls filled with delicious and nutritious ingredients.
Tjela
Located in Restelo and Estrela, Tjela specializes in serving food exclusively in these charming and versatile bowls. Their mission is to offer healthy meals based on rice or vegetables, complemented by options like teriyaki chicken, avocado, salmon, or sweet potato. For dessert, everything is also served in jars, and you can enjoy smoothies in a cup or bowl.

Poke House
Right in the heart of Chiado and several other locations in the city, Poke House has been offering a menu focused on healthy bowls since 2017. Their Hawaiian-style marinated fish salads, based on rice, come to life with various options centered on tuna and salmon, allowing you to choose your toppings, sauce, and bases. You can even create your own poke bowl packed with delicious ingredients.

Panda Cantina
Nestled in the Lisbon downtown, with other locations in the capital, Panda Cantina has become a pilgrimage site for ramen lovers. Their popular Asian noodle soup is offered in three options (beef, pork, and tofu) and is undoubtedly comfort food at its finest. Everything is homemade and delicious, served right in a bowl!
Address: Rua da Prata 252 (Baixa)
Chirashi
Although chirashi shares similarities with poke, this Japanese specialty features sliced fish (just like sashimi) atop a base of sushi rice. It’s served as naturally as possible, skipping sauces. The Chirashi restaurant, which opened in Telheiras in 2015, is dedicated to these Japanese bowls, offering ingredients like salmon, tuna, butterfish, fruit, and lemon zest with ginger.
Address: Rua Prof. Francisco Gentil, Loja 2A (Telheiras); other locations
