Spanish or Portuguese—the jury is still out on who invented <\/a>churros<\/a><\/em>. One thing is certain: we both love eating them!<\/p> In Spain, it’s perfectly acceptable to eat churros<\/em> for breakfast, and pretty much every café has them. But if you’re looking for churros<\/em> at a Portuguese café<\/a>, you’re in the wrong place.<\/p> Churros<\/em> are a fast food treat for us, typically sold on the streets. They’re the sweet staple of local fairs and summer festivals across the country, along with the fartura<\/a><\/em>.<\/p> Hunting for churros<\/em> in Lisbon can be hard, especially if you’re not in town for one of those big events. That doesn’t mean you can’t eat them though!<\/p> Below are five restaurants in Lisbon where you can enjoy churros<\/em> all-year-long.<\/p> Photo credit: tiagoquaresmajesus<\/a>, Text Overlay: Devour Lisbon Food Tours<\/a><\/em> <\/a><\/em><\/p> While it’s famous for its extra large burgers and pizzas, Guilty<\/a> also has some of the best churros<\/em> in Lisbon! You’ll find them under the desserts section as the Crunchy Decadence. All you have to do is pick between the chocolate or the dulce de leche<\/em> dip (doce de leite<\/em> in Portuguese). We recommend getting these to share as they’re a bit pricey at €8. <\/p> In Portuguese, contrabando<\/em> stands for illegal activity, but we promise there’s nothing illegal here. Unless, of course, you’ve sworn off sweets for the month. The churros<\/em> at Contrabando<\/a> cost €4.50 and come with a delicious side of doce de leite. <\/em>You can also get them as part of their degustation menu. Honestly, we can’t imagine a better way to end a meal! <\/p> Tapa Bucho has two locations in Bairro Alto<\/a>, but only one of them serves churros<\/em>. Make sure to look for the Gastrobar<\/a> at Rua Diário de Notícias if you want a taste of those! The restaurant makes their churros <\/em>with chocolate sabayon and hazelnut mousse, which you won’t find anywhere else in Lisbon.<\/p> Are you looking for gluten-free churros in Lisbon? If so, head to Boteco Dona Beija<\/a>. This Brazilian restaurant makes its delicious churros <\/em>with tapioca and cheese. Then they cover them with sugar and cinnamon, just like any other churro<\/em>!<\/p> Most Mexican restaurants in Lisbon have churros<\/em> on the menu. After all, it’s also a Latin American tradition. Here at Devour Lisbon, we love the ones from El Clandestino<\/a>, served with doce de leite<\/em> and a touch of lime to cut the sweetness.<\/p> Summer is the best season to find churros<\/em> in Lisbon. Suddenly, you’ll see churro<\/em> stands emerging in every neighborhood, especially during the Santos Populares festivities in June.<\/p> When ordering churros <\/em>at a local fair, you’ll probably see two versions: the churritos<\/em>, thin churros<\/em> sprinkled with a mix of sugar and cinnamon (chocolate is extra); and the churros, <\/em>which are thicker and come with a variety of fillings like doce de leite<\/em>, chocolate, and fruit flavors like strawberry or kiwi.<\/p> Our best advice is to keep your eyes open for any local fair when you visit Lisbon!<\/p>
