Lovely atmosphere and some typical dishes: Louvre Michaelense (5. January 2019)
Upon walking through the city center (which is incredibly tiny), I stumbled upon a placed called Louvre Michaelense. The link to the actual Louvre is mot there but the place is quite lovely in terms of atmosphere and interior design. It seems that this is a very traditional café which has been there for at […]
Average breakfast selection but decent location: Restaurant A Terra @ Azor Hotel (5. – 8. January 2019)
The breakfast selection at the A Terra restaurant in the Azor Hotel is decent – not really overwhelming in any way but there is a bit of everything you need ranging from regular white bread to sweet bread and pastel de nata. There is a selection of toasted bread … … as well as an […]
Flashback to the 70ties with a great view onto Porto: Restaurant Portucale (2. July 2017)
According to TripAdvisor, the Restaurant Portucale is one of the best restaurants in Porto – and the view is supposedly breathtaking. After having visited the restaurant, I’m not sure if I’m to confirm or not to confirm. The place is hard to find, respectively is located quite far away from the city center. So, after […]
A great food festival in the middle of the biggest park: Festival Comida Continente (1. July 2017)
What a lucky coincidence – while I was in Porto the “Festival Comida Continente” took place which is basically a food festival with a lot of different food stalls. It is located in one biggest parks in Porto … … and there are food stalls where apparently famous chefs are cooking. The concept is rather […]
Touristic place with a funny waiter: Restaurant Imar (30. June 2017)
Porto is built on both sides of the Duoro river and while the old town is on one side all the port producers are on the other side of the river. Secondly, there are a lot of restaurants for tourists – and well, I ended up in one of them as it didnt’t look too […]
Definitely one of the better lounge offerings: Sheraton Club Lounge @ Sheraton Porto (30. June 2017)
The Sheraton Club Lounge in the Sheraton Porto is nothing outstanding in terms of interior design and decoration but what I was extremely positively surprised by was the food they served for dinner. Not only because it was quite exceptional for lounge food in terms of variety and quality but also because they changed the […]
Industrial bar serving delicious mojitos: Rive Rouge (13. May 2017)
Creating exclusivity is the key to success for many bars and clubs. And the Rive Rouge is quite good at that. Although the place was completely empty when we arrived around 11pm, the bouncer made us wait. Because, of course, makes sense. Why would you let people in an empty club? Totally exclusive to be […]
Lovely ceviche – not so satisfactory ‘anticucho sauce’: Restaurant Segundo Muelle (13. May 2017)
Apparently, Peruvian food is quite a thing in Lisbon these days. At least that is what the locals told me. So, it was time to give the ‘Segundo Muelle’ a try. I started with three types of ceviche: “Cebiche Tres Ajies (seafood with three chili peppers cream)”, “Cebiche Norteño (fresh fish soaked in leche de […]
