Today I would like to make a more direct post with some places and experiences I recommend in Lisbon, both for visitors and for people who live here.
I’m also curious to know your recommendations.
A local restaurant
Cantinho do Alfredo
Who follows my posts already knows that I’m a big fan of tascas and this is one of my favourites.
A modern restaurant without Michelin prices
Canalha
Creative Portuguese food, good wine and a relaxed atmosphere.
Seafood without waiting lines
Penalva da Graça
Everyone talks about Ramiro or Pinóquio but for seafood in central Lisbon without huge waiting lines Penalva da Graça is great.
A pastry shop
Pastelaria Versailles
They have a huge variety of Portuguese pastries that allow people to try much more than pastel de nata and the place itself is beautiful.
A museum
My favourite museum is Gulbenkian but while it’s closed I recommend the Quake Museum. It’s interactive and very interesting to understand today’s Lisbon.
A garden
Jardim Monteiro-Mor
Still unknown even to many locals and one of the most beautiful gardens in the city.
A day trip
Lisbon has many great day trips. Sintra and Cascais are probably the most famous but I also recommend Tomar.
A bar
Casa Independente
Good atmosphere and one of those places where people stay for hours drinking and talking.
A café / cultural space
Padaria do Povo
Good atmosphere, younger crowd and one of those places where people stay for hours.
Nightlife
For those tired of Bairro Alto and Cais do Sodré, I think the Marvila area has become a great alternative in recent years.
A rooftop
Ruby Rosa
Beautiful rooftop, relaxed atmosphere and a great view over Lisbon.
