Restaurants in Lisbon only accepting "Portuguese cards"?

score:5

They were referring to cards issued as part of the Multibanco network. Unfortunately for tourists, there are many countries with their own independent card issuance authority, making it a hassle to pay with a Visa/Mastercard. Other examples include:

Mir (Russia)
Girocard (Germany)
UnionPay (China)

Credit card payment fees have now been capped in the EU, however merchants are known to be highly conservative and it's likely that Visa/Mastercard will take another decade to achieve full penetration in the EU. So for now, you'll have to sometimes use cash when visiting Portugal (or take your business elsewhere).
