A delicious steakhouse experience with a dark atmosphere: Restaurant O Talho by Kiko (5. November 2023)
Given it wasn’t easy to find a place, which is open on a Sunday and already opens at 12:00, I ended up going to the second place of Chef Kiko, which is a steakhouse. Once you’re seated, you’re given a little amuse bouche in the form of “cardamom biscuits with foie gras and passion fruit […]
When the crew celebrates themselves too much and ignores the customer: Gin Lovers Bar (4. November 2023)
The Gin Lovers Bar is an experience of its own. The place is super stylish and appealing, which is aided by the fact that they have three or four different rooms and each is a bit different in terms of interior design. However, the music in the place is unbearably loud, which makes a conversation […]
Delicious seafood and especially ceviche experience: Restaurant A Cevicheria by Kiko (4. November 2023)
Given Lisbon is close to the sea, the decision to try a seafood place was relatively easily taken. And given they had a tasting menu called “A Cevicheria Tasting Menu” (EUR 68.70), the decision was even easier how to progress. The evening started with “corn Bread with butter and spread” and I must admit that […]
Lovely rooftop, but much better to visit in summer: Javá Rooftop (4. November 2023)
The Javá Rooftop is a nice place I can definitely recommend you to visit. However, you have to make sure that you go there when it’s warm as you mainly get to sit outside in the afternoon and in the beginning of November, the weather is already rather cold. On top of that, make sure […]
Super nice place in the artsy LX Factory area: Restaurant 1300 Taberna @ LX Factory (4. November 2023)
If you haven’t been to the LX Factory, you should definitely pay the place a visit, as it is a lovely area with a lot of artistic elements. One element, which I like about the area, is the fact that you have a lot of different restaurants you can choose from. I decided to pay […]
A decent French-style bistro, but nothing memorable: Restaurant Brilhante (3. November 2023)
The Restaurant Brilhante is a place, which is more of a traditional French bistro with the attitude you expect, than a Portuguese place. Sure, it’s rather lovely, and they play it to be super exclusive, but still, when you walk in by like 8.30pm, you still get a space. Immediately, you’re served “bread and smoked […]
Apparently the newest shit in Lisbon – not sure I agree: Oui Jackie (3. November 2023)
The Oui Jackie is apparently one of the newest and hottest places in Lisbon, and I somehow get why, but I also do not entirely agree with that assessment. The place is relatively small and a bit hidden from the main streets, so it has its own appealing atmosphere, which is quite lovely. However, the […]
A simple, but amazing place to get delicious seafood for a fair price: Restaurant Cervejaria Ramiro (3. November 2023)
The Cervejaria Ramiro had been recommended to me by more than one person, so, I decided to give it a try. It is not easy to get a booking unless you either book way in advance or you take the chance and do a walk-in to try to get a table last minute. I was […]
