Guidebook for Lisboa
Food Scene
With fabulous views – large picture windows that frame the Tagus Estuary, and airy esplanade allows for al fresco meals in summer. Portuguese/Mediterranean cuisine features specialities such as tiger prawns grilled with lemon risotto and duck breast with sour sauce and leek puree. The desserts are equally alluring: try the caipirinha mousse with black currents or the delightfully rich and traditional fig and carob pies.

The interior is a wonderfully ad-hoc collection of chairs and tables painted bright blue set over a chipped tiled floor. You can't beat a plate of their succulent sardines with roast potatoes and salad, and the oven-baked octopus melts in your mouth.

Romantic retreat in a quiet Graca backstreet with panoramic views of Castelo de Sao Jorge, Basilica da Estrela and the Tagus. At night, flickering candlight and a cosy atmosphere set the scene. Michelin recommended menu of traditional Portuguese dishes such as roast kid with new potatoes and asparagus or grouper rolls stuffed with crab and a wild mushroom risotto.
