Doca de Santo Amaro is a marina and dining area in Lisbon’s Alcântara district, beneath the 25 de Abril Bridge. Former port warehouses now house restaurants, with terraces looking across the marina and the Tagus. Choose from seafood restaurants to cheaper pizza spots, or come for a drink and a close view of the bridge. The docks are also a starting point for a riverside promenade towards Belém and the Discoveries Monument. Late afternoon and evening bring a lively atmosphere; sunset boat trips are another option.
From port warehouses to dining terraces
The docks sit along the Tagus in Alcântara, between Baixa and Belém. Former Port of Lisbon warehouses have been converted into restaurants and leisure spaces. Their terraces face the marina and the 25 de Abril Bridge, making the waterfront setting a central part of a meal or drink here.
The choice ranges from restaurants specialising in fish and seafood to pizza spots at lower prices. One seafood restaurant described in the supplied material serves grilled tiger prawns, sea bass and cataplana, a seafood stew.
Continue along the river
The marina is the starting point of a promenade running towards the Discoveries Monument and other attractions in Belém. You can make the docks a stop for food or drinks before continuing on foot. Boat trips also depart from the marina, including sunset sailings with wine and cheese.
