Our Take
Lisbon's Deepest Portuguese Wine List
By the Wine is a serious Portuguese wine specialist in Chiado run by the José Maria da Fonseca winery family. The wine list is the deepest Portuguese collection in Lisbon — around 250 Portuguese bottles covering every region, plus a small European layer.
The bartender-sommeliers explain each pour. The food is small Portuguese plates that pair thoughtfully with the wines. The bar functions as both an aperitivo destination and a serious wine dining venue.
The crowd is mid-thirties Lisbon wine enthusiasts and visiting wine tourists. Pair with the wider Lisbon wine scene for a complete evening.
